Far too slow.

And in the football equivalent, the bloke at the other end of the mic, is Graeme Poll. "It's a red for Kompany, but only a yellow for Rooney.."

If Mario had done what Raymond did last night he would have been sent off. It was a clear red card in the current climate but seeing as Liverpool are back I'm guessing they didn't want to upset their flow...

But they do wanna discuss shelveys elbow...

I do like the way RatBoy highlighted both of these incidents and said it was absolutely farcical that the ref's did nothing about them. He showed that the ref/lino had a perfect positions and were actually looking directly at the incidents. He also pointed out that they will be powerless to do anything as the ref's won't be able to say they didn't see it, as they clearly did.

I see Cisse has accepted his charge, Shelvey has been charged and Sterling has been let off for his slap. How did the ref miss the Shelvey incident, Sky showed the clip where he was looking straight at it. Sterling though:

Sterling will not face retrospective action as the incident was seen by at least one of the match officials at Anfield so no further action would be taken.


Strange that, I thought what Sterling did, even though not too harmful, was an offence under the regulations with a red card being the appropriate punishment; is that not normally a red?

Looks like the FA are looking after the Dippers title challenge was again.

To be fair mate, the incident was handbags but the point is that it does seem to be the old 'One rule for one, ..........' scenario again. The Dippers are looking shit as it is, a real one man team, and without Sterling for 3 games I reckon they'd be fucked.

[zuricity]

It's bad enough the idiots have decided to use shaving foam. What a waste of time that is. Making the Ref the centre of attention.Which is exactly what a good ref shouldn't be.

It's bad enough the refs miss obvious things like Sterlings altercation but for the FA to miss it after watching a fuckin video of it is negligence of the highest order and perhaps the reason standards are low. If the top brass are corrupt cheats this will filter down

That's the point, the referee has stated that h didn't miss it, he just thought no action should be taken so the committee ruled it out.

It's the perfect scenario for them and is used to allow the Dippers to have their man.

It fucking stinks, but then again, when doesn't it.

Remember Wiggy's forearm smash.

Ha ha ha, we're on the same wavelength mate ;-)

Jonjo banned for four games.

Sterling not even charged.

I take it it's 4 games because he's been sent off previously? Either way, another one that keeps the 'Sky 4' bias well up there. These things are unfathomable from a supporters point of view and only leads to one outcome. More distrust in the system.

[carolina-blue]

Disgusting . There is no way on gods green that a City Player would now not be serving a ban . To me as I said earlier the shove into the boards was dangerous enough to warrent a ban . Bullshit top to bottom .

Indeed. And I understand the odious one didn't do his press-conference today, the fucking mardarse.

[aristation]

I think Pellers is playing this right, no histrionics, just balance and calm. Stands well above the twat who didn't do a press conference because he was sulking. This is I believe what the Club wants as our position
