Imo the ban should apply in the comp you earned it. Get a red card in the league, miss 3 league games. Red card in the fa cup, miss 3 cup games etc. They shouldn't cross over.

I agree,but got no sympathy for Gordan.
It was a stupid way to get sent off,rather than a late challenge.

How would you do the cup one? Could take years ...

If it does, it does . Mind, only if you get knocked out first round each time.

It’s all under the rules of the FA that a player plays - the CL is under UEFA

That’s why bans carry over

You could have bans last over a year if it’s for cups only etc

This is not a new rule , only been around for decades

I don't dispute that, I just don't agree with it.

In forty years of watching footy I have never seen a proper headbutt.
But yes there probably has to be exceptions.
We need a menu of offences that stop you playing in the cup final.

A brushing of the eyebrow brings acting of the highest calibre !

Just from memory.

Nunez on Anderson
Zidane in World Cup Final
Ortega (think that was his name) on Van Der Sar

Tuchel said he wants to be considered but he felt he wasnt fit enough after his latest injury, so he is available but not selected.

This 100%.

I’ve not seen the interview this week with Jim Ratcliffe, but those doubting his business acumen and ability to run a football club perhaps need a rethink.

Take redundancies, for example. One of the posts Ratcliffe has done away with is the £150k a year “body language expert”. Seriously? Why on earth does a football club need a body language expert? Quite aside from the fact said person clearly never spent any time with Marcus Rashford, what an absolute waste of cash. If we’re doing away with posts like that, then it’s long overdue.

And it seems that Alex Ferguson wasn’t even remotely bothered about receiving financial benefit for being a club ambassador. All he was bothered about was having a seat for every home game.

Seems Ratcliffe may have some idea what he’s doing after all.

One minute into todays game and the Forest fans are chanting “THOMAS TUCHEL, WHAT A W*****”

 

[Don Barzini]

If Thomas Tuchel watched the first half of the Ipswich v Forest game and the England squad was announced tomorrow, he’d probably call up Kalvin Phillips.

 

[Norrin Radd]

Cmon the Albion 2-2 and end to end .

Take a draw away to Everton

 

[Norrin Radd]

City and Brighton 2-2, a point away is good but should have been all three

Not gone to well for Deli Ali in Como on his debut

Been a while since I read such a dense post missing the point totally.

Ratcliffe, has made 500 people in total redundant, 99% of them will not be Ferguson or an idiot earning £150k in a pointless role, they are normal hardworking people.

You keep a poor manager in palce and even extend his contract by a year and pay him millions when you sack him. You appoint a Director of Football and sack him 5 months later at a cost of millions.

You remove free meals, heck you don't even choose to subsidise food instead.

As a business leader it always has been really easy to punish the plebs while paying a fortune to those who in no way deserve it.

I mean and you want to applaud him, I am assuming you are on your knees and you nose is brown as well because he has played an absolute stinker and you think he is good. Oh by the way lets borrow a few billion more for a stadium while are stinking the place out.

Save a few hundred thousand here and there while peeing millions in bad decisions up the wall and you want to applaud him.....

What a joke
