The FA CUP Semi-Finals 13/14 April *** Spoilers ***

[Tummy]

I would hope that with some of the changes coming in over the summer the FA use this summer to rethink and change the way they deal with retrospectively punishing players.

 

[Wayn0r]

And it was still a red card

Never in a million years was that a red card.

 

[Tummy]

and yet Nani gets sent off and banned in that Champions League game (yes i am still bitter )

What a farce

Not that the FA had anything to do with that .

ha ha, good one.

 

[Tummy]

ha ha, good one.

A boy can dream can't he !

I really do wish the FA wasn't so poorly ran and so afraid of the Premier League, I wish they made the changes that (imho) are needed to help improve football.

I was just talking about football in general.

 

[Azza]

The final is going to kick off at 5:15 PM

The final is going to kick off at 5:15 PM

Our final against Liverpool last year was at the same time. TV schedules and their advertising take priority over everything these days.

 

[Purdy]

Never in a million years was that a red card.

Yes it was

 

[Tom84]

You're funny Purdy... wait you're not joking

 

[Purdy]

Indeed I am not, if Arbeloa hadn't jumped it would've been studs to the side of the head, a bit like a tackle we saw recently everyone blasted as crazy , crazy reckless and dangerous challenge and he knew Arbeloa was coming.

I wish it wasn't a red, that would've been far more enjoyable.

 

[Wayn0r]

It is to do with intent though. Going by that, a clash of heads in the penalty box from a corner should result in someone getting a red, no?

Everyone watching the game could see there was absolutely zero intent from Nani, he didn't even know he was there.

 

[Purdy]

Alright, well Nani did glance over towards where Arbeloa was coming from, so likely he did see him.

Regardless it was dangerous from Nani and could've seriously hurt Arbeloa, I'm sure he didn't mean to, much like many bad tackles aren't intended to be bad but end up so and rightly get a red card.

 

[Tom84]

I'll remind you of your no nonsense approach to this the next time Suarez does something stupid and you defend him then

 

[Purdy]

Alright I don't recall Suarez launching in head hight with this foot many times but oki, c u there.

Like I said I'd much rather you had been shafted, you weren't, your tactics after the goal and red card lost you the game.

 

[Tom84]

The only possible way anyone could claim that it was head height is if Arboloa was a freakishly tall midget

Oh and you're wrong about the reason why we lost the game also but keep going lets see if you can go 3-0 in the 'how wrong can Purdy be?' game

 

[Purdy]

Okay

Seems Collina thought it was a red, in fact most places that aren't just largely United fans seem to be in agreement or majority that is was a red.

 

[Wayn0r]

He barely touched him, contact was lower ribs.

It was made worse by arbeloa acting as if he had just been hit by a charging rhino.

 

[Shamikebab]

Oh please let's not get into this again.
