Surprise surprise Mancini charged by the fa

[Douglas Higginbottom]

Can't say it's a surprise and basically deserved as it was out of order. But it won't amount to much even if a ban is involved but it's more likely a fine and warning.

Yes you are right, Moyes was out of order for holding onto the ball.

Obviously there's been a precedent where two managers clashed in a similar vein - Wenger and Pardew being the most obvious, but Wenger and Jol was also similar...

Was either manager banned for any games?

If not then they can't ban Mancini... or can they?

the FA DO NOT WANT THE FAB 4 TO DEMINISH!!!! they will do everything in their power to stop city becoming a top 4 club,,,,,, like whats been said already were on our own and we must stick together and come out fighting, this club is destined to be great the quicker these cunts in london realise this the better

[lets all have a disco]

Did any of the other managers that clashed actually make physical contact?


Bobby did!!! i think thats what will do him,deffo a ban no fine.

[Grob]

Well I thought he was fucking stupid for doing what he did. I can see why he did it but a man of his experiance should know better.

Even though he's clueless tacically, losing him from the touchline could be a pyschological loss.

I could see if Mancini started the spat. But this does not dispel the fact that
the FA has a hard on for us. I wish they would at least give us an explanation.

Since walkie-talkie and mobile phone had been manufactured and until we do enjoy the quality of Brian Kidd in our staff I frankly don't see any harm to City whether Bobby will be fined or banned, but another chance for FA to issue an even more bold statement of its desire of making the City way to top players market the hardest possible... Well, maybe apart from my personal, useless disappointment if I might not see Mancio challanging Baconface on the touchline at the derby... :-)

What I do consider more important for the Club interests and fail to understand is that, after the Liverpool home refereeing, after the Vieira and Ade bans compared to the Mascherano and Gerrard (twice) non bans, after the Everton refereeing, the record I read about the referee selected for our next game, it seems time should be now overdue for the Club to issue a cool, moderate but pointed statement through which to appeal for fair treatment when we are trying to earn on the field the goal of our hard work. I mean something live "we do acknoledge that any work is done by mistakes and material error, but considering a,b,c,d, deep in our heart we do feel the fortune owes us some credit"....

While thinking the above I am in a very humble mood and I reckon that if that hadn't happened yet should be because I simply fail to understand some point of the EPL practice, which differs from all the other major Leagues whereas the more You complain the most You are going to acheive; or at least the exposure makes more difficult to them continue the same way...

Would be gratefull to any mate who could help me to understand what's wrong in my naive idea.
