Yeah Eduardo

They couldn't "prove" his intent to dive to gain a penalty

He was banned for three games and they appealed

This thread must be something akin to being stuck on the m25 with no way off.
Talk about going round in circles.. :rolleyes:

Glad i support the shakers, nothing like this ever happens in the lower divisions, don't u know..:whistle:

Anyway imho i think Mr Birchy sums it up pretty well...:thup:


On another note:-
A troll

2 posts, 2 days, same author, and no follow up.

So how do you inflict retrospective action then when the clubs just scream not us and get the lawyers on the case?

Million dollar question
Get their own lawyers in and make sure the charge is water tight possibly
 
The same as trying to prove intent to injure in some case we all know it's happened but unless you get a full confession the charge isn't going to stick.

Maybe file it under "unsportsmanlike conduct" ?

Quite an amusing thread really...

So, to all the disgusted forumers.... What exactly are you going to do about it?

You must appreciate that the authorities don't have the stomach to address it properly.. So what exactly are you going to do to show your disgust at the richest league in the World, in the richest Sport in the World? :D

Vote with your wallet? Being given serious consideration at the moment, especially with the way the fixtures will be dragged about after the new deal on top of everything else. Trouble is we know it won't make any difference to top clubs as there will a queue willing to take your place. It'll just be like wetting yourself in a dark suit…….

Bit like abusing the referee and calling him and the names under the sun.... Oh that's covered by the rules now they just ignore it!

We don't paint a good picture of football do we

Quite sad really when we think about how the game has gone

Trying to think if it was ever like this during the 80's ?
 
Dive pure and simple. However what difference will fans indignation make? Zip, nada nothing. Players will do whatever it takes even if it means stepping outside the rules to get an advantage as the stakes are so high. Until the authorities act (fat chance with the FA, UEFA and FIFA) nothing will change and referees "may" take a bold line every now and then and caution a player but if that was a second yellow and therefore a red, what chance a club/player will appeal and it'll be overturned and the ref castigated for being rash
 
Don't recall it being so bad but it's a general society thing, general lack of respect for others. It's not just football though cricketers always used to walk not anymore.

Just imagine furore if Rooney had got up and waved a finger saying ala Fowler.

Reckon it Would of been far worse than going down as he did.

You can't appeal a yellow wether it a 1st or 2nd one only a straight red.

UEFA did act as highlight above and the charge dropped on appeal.

Very true about cricket

Players always looking to see a way to get away with getting out

Thankfully the make up of the game allows for replays

If Rooney had waved the finger ala Fowler reckon the reaction would have been very positive
