Mario witch hunt on the cards?

[Hazy2]

I wonder who is next for the charge?

Milner hasnt been done yet.

c'mon England players do not get fingered for anything mate.

[carolina-blue]

Just sit out the 4 matches ban and let him think about it, even if it was by accident, the FA will get more bloodthursty if we go against it.

It's not end of the world and it would have been 1000 times worse if Parker got his head busted open.

I think Mario is great and extremely entertaining and hope he will be part of the amazing future we have ahead of us.

if Mario will be condemned he will want to go away from England.

this is what they want and it appears that they are getting.

Was just discussing this with a mate really not sure If he will want to stay in England If this keeps up :(

[Mike J]

why the fuck has peter crouch trying to gouge someones eye out been ignored by the media i fucking wonder!

just seen it on the tv. unfucking believable.

Believe me, it will keep up. Hope he will just roll with the punches. Learn a little and keep winning games for us.

Then he's best off going.

How many red cards has Aguero had or even looked like getting ?

Lets not become rags, or we may as well sign fucking Ronaldo.

[Elvistheblue]

So, we accept the charge and he misses Liverpool - A (CC), Everton -A, Fulham - H & Villa -A.

4 games we should be looking to win, with or without Mario. 3 away games too...I think that's better as I always think he gets wound up in away games and he isn't as effective as he is at home.

[blues2win]

Howard Webb said he didn't see it which I don't believe and that he would have shown a red if he had. If you slow down the incident it looks much worse than in real time. No one can know whether he kicked at Parker or threw out a leg to try to stop himself falling. Dermot Gallagher said he didn't think he'd be found guilty by the panel and that he'd certainly be acquitted in a court of law.

Four match ban then.

[mr_nool]

No way, I can't believe it????!!!!




No shit he was charged. I can understand why he was charged based on the incident. What I can't understand is that Webb saw it, pointed at it and decided it was not worthy of anything.

So video technology is used in football.

Fuck off.

The ref (whoever it was) saw Ade's "stomp" on RVP as well, but still the FA managed to work their way around that.
I'm sure he's going to get banned, although it will be an absolutely ridiculous decision. It should be like in American Football,i.e. that the ruling on the field stands, unless it conclusively can be proven wrong. The evidence burden shouldn't be on Mario to prove that he didn't do it, but on Spurs/Parker that he - without a doubt - did it.

[Crossie]

I blame Tevez.

[ps104]

So Mario is being charged for a stamp next to Parker. Modric should also be charged, because he stamped next to him as well.

[Crossie]

Fuck the FA, the rules are becoming bullshit and constantly working against us. Well I hope it just makes us angrier and even better.

We need to be so many classes above the rest that we can take all this bullshit in our stride.

We can cope with losing Mario, he can go and have a rest. As long as Aguero and Dzeko don't get injured. They had a nice little partnership happening earlier in the season.

[david yearsley]

We should just go out and buy the best striker available. That would really get up every fuclers noses. If Chavski can flout FFP then so should we
Bollox to them all
Webb as Clattenburg has been forced into nothing less than downright lying

The fingerprints of Ferguscum/Arry are all over this

May they rot in hell

Btw I happen to believe Balo was wrong but it´s not about this anymore it´s about consistency and integrity. They have been once again blown apart for the wishes of the witch-hunting, mune loving gutter press

Webb must be fuclin blind then. Funny how when we are deemed to have sinned the ref hasn't seen it, but when its against us they have seen it and it isn't a problem. Webb just trying to oust Foy as Fergies favourite

Not much evidence of a partnership of late. Aguero looks fed up of dzeko whenever I see any interactions between the two.

It's a shame because if we actually tried crossing the ball and letting dzeko play the way he plays best then he could easily score as many as aguero. He's not very far behind as it is and he barely plays and never in a team set up to provide him with what he needs. I thought the whole point of bringing him in was to add something we have lacked since sibierski, a player that can win a header. But dzeko would actually get a few on target.

[Mase]

What I cannot accept is that Shrek used to literally do this shit EVERY match a few years ago! I remember when he followed through on a Wolves keeper and caught him studs up in the face. But media played on 'oh he's just eager. That's a good thing'. If Balo was English there wouldn't be half the witch hunt there is at the moment. End of.

[stommy]

Can people stop using to word 'stamp' because if his head was stamped on he would be in hospital now. It wasn't a 'stamp'.

are you fuckin blind, of course it is a stamp, Balo is a brainless cunt, the problem is that he is a brilliant football player too...

[saulman]

Had this been Scott Parker on Mario, we wouldn't be talking about it. The whole thing is laughable.

Also, remember the Rooney elbow on McCarthy last season? I seem to remember that he didn't face any charges.
The inconsistancy in this league is beyond ridiculous. Any conspiracy theorists must be loving this.

Scholes did it during a derby & they didn't even replay it.

This is how it is. It's not fucking fair so we have to deal with it. They will shit on us if we let them. Mario has been told this time & again but he won't stop making stupid challenges. He was already on a yellow, so he was incredibly lucky not to go anyway; Webb could have just given him a 2nd yellow. He needs to stop this shit or he will have to leave. That's a fact. It would be a tragedy but it will DEFINITELY happen unless he stops it. We need several top strikers available.

We had various numpties making excuses for him after Anfield but when it had calmed down Mancini said how he needs to be smart. That action wasn't smart.

Spot on all of that mate.
The Prem league is dying on its ass.

[bigblue]

Mancini should start the next press conference by asking:

"Can someone please explain to me why it is unacceptable to make a gesture for a card during a game from the sidelines, but completely acceptable to explicitly call for a red card in the past-match interview?"

And by the way - the first yellow Mario got was extremely soft, yet everyone seems to think it was completely justified
