Jonjo Shelvey (now playing for Burnley)


Recommended Posts

I was so sure they were going to find a way to ruin that result for us by banning the guy. Thanks goodness that's not the case.

it sounds paranoid but I feel like they're always blowing our "incidents" way out of proportion, like they'll receive snide satisfaction out of someone getting into trouble over nothing

Yup. It's really annoying.

 

Was there any talk of a retrospective ban on Huth for that elbow on Kozack?

 

Because that was far more of an 'incident'!

 

Think the difference was that one was on the ball and the ref waved play on at the time. Although Swarbrick mopped up after the Shelvey/Valencia incident, he didn't actually see it and it was technically off the ball. Never going to ban him though as although it was a cycnical foul to stop a player breaking into the box had the ball been released - if the ref had seen it it would only have been a free-kick and possibly, just possibly a yellow. There was no elbow and the FA will not retrospectively rule on fouls and yellows, only serious foul play.

Maybe it's just me noticing it because it's us, but I cannot remember any other incidents of the media calling for a player to be banned over a shoulder barge like. It's completely new to me.

 

Cos it fits their Shelvey narrative.  Simple as.

I see your point, especially when you see Fellaini elbowing opponents every week and never a word said.

NUFC fucking up has developed as a long-running saga which provides entertainment for the media and fans of other clubs. Shelvey getting a ban after excelling on his debut would fit the script.

Wasn't that Keys? Could've been Stubbs. Both pricks mind.

Shelvey will not face FA disciplinary action following his off-the-ball clash with West Ham’s Enner Valencia at the weekend.  An independent panel of three former referees yesterday reviewed the incident and decided it was not worthy of a red card.
