And, we're off.....2016/17

Thing is a missed drugs test is nowt to get excited about. If you should of had it on Tuesday and are not there. Do it the day after. Test the same player. If he has had owt it will still be in his system. The big drugs thing at the moment is playing under the imfluence of pain killers

Standard fine for fail to control players, shame the FA don't apply the standard ban on missed drugs test these days ?

What happened to FA conspiracy against your lot? Yernited were only fined £20k for the same incident against Chelsea.....

They should do £5k a player, so 4 players = £20k, City = 7 players £35k The captain's who can approach gets £5k fine per incident himself for not managing his players, that'll stop it :smirk:

Would like to see him in the Prem,would prefer it be with Chelsea tho.

I like that idea. I hate players crowding arounf a ref trying to intimidate him. Horrible. Two incidents in the space of one season, captain gets suspended for one match.

If players crowd round the Ref he should give a penalty to opposition that would Defo put a stop to it.
Fines are no good what's £35k to a top club.

Am sure every club will have its tales of refereeing woes but City have had a bucketfull this year both for and against. Suprised it has taken this long for us to be fined. Think the players have been very diaciplind up to this point.
Not the only fine we have had this week though is it. Fined for a late kick off as well

See Messi has copped a four game ban for arguing with an assistant ref in the match last night. Handed out by Fifa but not in the refs report apparently http://www.skysports.com/football/n...or-verbally-abusing-official-in-argentina-win

That's a worry for Argentina who are third in the group and some tricky games to come. Would be strange to have a world cup without them but imagine they'll find a way. They usually do

Another casualty from the international break, a thigh problem.that rules Lallana out of at least 6 games most likely the rest Of The season.

International football is crap.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

The injury to Lallana could have happened at any time. That is not an injury due to internationals, it is just part of a footballers life.

Video referee used in the France v Spain game last night and over ruled the decision by the referee to allow a French goal that was offside. Good to see Fifa rolling this out but not sure how it'll work with penalties etc as that's still a persons conjecture on contact or not. However for decisions of fact I can see this being a great move

The words of didier deschamp the losing manager of france
It is against us today, but if we have to go through this, it will be the same for everyone

Cheers Diddy it worker out quite well didnt it. The correct decisions were made. So much for the doom and gloom merchants who never wanted it in the first place

With that kind of attitude he would fit into our team perfectly

Just seen ronaldos new "Bust" in Maderia airport.
A fitting tribute me finks. :rofl:

Loves a good strop does Messi.
Not be long until he's retiring from international football AGAIN.

Would love to know what he actually said though.

Yep suck it up, we all get injuries and there's no such thing as bad luck or financial disparity either!

None of that applies to Arsenal so it doesn't apply to Liverpool either.😉😙

I'm guessing it wasn't "pass the salt" to land a 4 game ban...

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Apparently he told the assistant referee to go away in a rather more basic manner. Not sure why it wasn't in the refs report if the assistant reported it at the time
