The Banter Thread

Apparently Torres won't get a ban for the clear as day on video face scratching thing because the ref or linesman kinda half saw it. Wasn't the change in the rule precisely to address the "ref saw it and didn't punish it so we can't do it after" ridiculous crap that has happened before? If the change was specifically to fix that little problem, then how the hell can they not ban him for the same reason as they refused to ban people last year.

FA have always been a joke, and continue to be so. I don't think it required a massive ban or anything but he clearly did something relatively nasty and it's not retaliation unless he was called a name, he just tripped him up as he's heading off the pitch, not to get the ball because it was long gone, just to be a ****.

I can just imagine if it was Suarez, 4 game no problem.

:mad: Disgusting.
 
Bit early for that considering we could quite easily lose home and away to Dortmund and away to Napoli.

Its not meant to be entirely serious you know lol. But indeed, too early just like the PL table to call it yet.

Fingers crossed we qualify from this group.

Yep and hearing earlier on SSN, Mourinho saying well done on the FA for upholding the values of the english game:confused:.

Nasty thing to do by Torres, should have at least got a few games for that face gouge.

From Redcafe:

In 1988 Liverpool won the league by 9 points.
In 1989 Liverpool had the title snatched from their grasp by a last minute goal.
In 1990 Liverpool strolled to yet another league title.

In 2011 Manchester United won the league by 9 points.
In 2012 Manchester United had the title snatched from their grasp by a last minute goal.
In 2013 Manchester United strolled to yet another league title.

Liverpool's demise came about when they replaced their successful Scottish manager with another Scottish manager.

Manchester United have recently replaced their successful Scottish manager with another Scottish manager.

Cardiff have suspended their head of recruitment Iain Moody and replaced him with an unknown 23-year-old who was formerly on work experience.
Moody helped Cardiff sign summer recruits such as Gary Medel and Steven Caulker in his scouting role.

But he has been succeeded by Kazakh Alisher Apsalyamov, who was on work experience at the club in the summer and who is a friend of owner Vincent Tan's son.

Cardiff are yet to comment.


That's the way to do it Cardiff! :D
 
Unbelievable. The fella was painting fences at cardiff in the summer.

This is beyond all belief.

As someone with plenty of experience of Malaysia, and the system of patronage exercised by the exceedingly wealthy, not surprising at all. On the bright side theyre likely to rehire Moody as a consultant on double wages to advise the kid and avoid losing face.

Manchester City's players and coaching staff have put their hands in their own pockets - to help pay for tickets for away games.

In an unprecedented move Manuel Pellegrini, his players and coaches have each shelled out a figure - believed to be around £1,000 - so the club can offer half price tickets to season ticket holders at selected matches throughout the campaign.

It is understood that the games furthest away or matches that take place within a few days of each other will be prioritised.

The Blues, along with other Premier League clubs, set aside £200,000 to improve experiences at away matches for supporters.

Yesterday United announced they would use the money to knock £4 off the cost of tickets at matches on the road.

But City would appear to have taken things further with a five-figure sum added to the £200,000 from first-team players and coaching staff.

The Blues have also not stopped there - away areas at their Etihad Stadium are about to revamped to make the experience more pleasurable for visiting fans.

It is understood highlights on concourse screen will focus on the away side and catering staff could be kitted out in the colours of City's opposition.

Tom Glick, chief commercial and operating officer said: “Manchester City fans are famous for their fiercely loyal and vocal support. They have stuck with the club through thick and thin for generations, and both the club and players want to say thank you.”

Skipper Vincent Kompany, one of those to make a donation, added: “In my opinion, our away support is the best in the Premier League and we never take that for granted.

“Win, lose or draw, City supporters can always be heard throughout our games and I just hope that this initiative proves just how much we value this incredible."
:cool:
