Weekend Football Thread. *spoilers* 11-14

I think he should get banned for a very long time. If Ed got a two match ban for diving then Ade should get a twenty match ban for that with no pay!

Hit him where it hurts in his wallet!
 
Upon a further investigation I reckon that RVP could have been given a yellow. How the referee even missed the blatant studding in the face is beyond me. And whoever says that games shouldn't be reviewed and decisions made based on those reviews is an idiot. If he caught RVP any further across he could've lost an eye. If he caught him any further up he could've had a bad knock to the temple which could've led to internal bleeding or even a blood clot in the brain. Also, the fact that Adebayor was throwing in tackles left, right and centre the entire match but remained unpunished until the celebration was an absolute disgrace. Some referees need to open their eyes, and some linesman need to do their job better as well. If this happened in rugby then it would be reviewed and a ban would be issued. But then that's a completely different sport where the players actually respect the referee.
 
Does anyone have a video of the stamp on Cesc? That was equally as bad from what I saw but seems to have been ignored.

Really wish an Arsenal fan would have got through the stewards and given him a beating, deserves nothing less!

Upon further investigation? I thought you had seen the incident plenty of times yesterday... typical Arsenal fans arguing black is white when they haven't even studied the incident in question.

Arsene Wenger was saying just a few weeks ago that games shouldn't be reviewed afterwards as it would result in dozens of disciplinary matters to go through every week and probably most Arsenal players being suspended for their various antics. So by your reasoning Arsene Wenger is an idiot?

Could've lost an eye, could have got a blood clot... he could get hit by a bus as well... but none of those things happened. Some people need to get a sense of reality, it's a tap in the face and a little cut (that's if van Persie didn't take a fake blood capsule onto the field to fake the whole incident).

It wasn't that little actually. It was a fair size, and it looked quite deep. How about I come over to your house and stamp on your face with a football boot to see how it feels, although it won't be the same because I'm not over six foot and I don't weigh nearly as much as Adebayor. Upon further investigation of RVP's tackle is what I meant to say, he should have received a yellow for the slide as it was a bit careless, but if you look at the footage he never went studs up his feet were always pointing down even though it was a messy challenge. Wenger is no idiot, but as you can see we are getting unfairly treated in the recent weeks since Eduardo's dive. We were turned down numerous penalty shouts in the Utd game and we were turned down a penalty yesterday. Thanks to Eduardo we have been branded cheaters and liars which is not and has never been the case with Arsenal.

As for you saying that RVP could also get hit by a bus, well that's nonsense you fool. Is that even related to the incident or the match? no.

After seeing it again, I think RVP should never play football again for that awful tackle on Ade and Ade should be knighted for stamping on RVP face.

Please cut out the personal attacks. I referred to the bus to suggest you should deal with what actually happened rather than speculatory outcomes.

I dare say you doing that would look worse on my face because you would be doing it deliberately instead of accidentally and I'm slightly better-looking than van Persie too. Besides i've experienced someone really trying to kick me in football so I know the difference between that and being grazed accidentally. It didn't seem that deep a cut given he continued in the game without any bandages.

I wouldn't say Arsenal are thought of as cheats and liars by others (despite the recent cheating incident) more just quite soft - I mean, i'm sure other players have had worse knocks than this over the weekend and not sought to whinge and create a witch-hunt against the opposition player for it.

Fair enough, I didn't mean to personally offend you so if I did I apologise. I agree that Arsenal are not as physical as a lot of other teams and that some of our players go down easily. However on this occasion it's my opinion that Adebayor intended to hurt RVP and successfully did that. I also think that RVP was well within his rights to leave a statement on Arsenal's website. But, I think that we should probably leave this here now because I think that he did it deliberately and you think it was an accident. The only person that really knows is Adebayor and we will just end up going round in circles with this so I won't mention it again. Sorry if I caused offense mate. :)
 
adebayor should get a 1-2 match ban and should have got a red card , van persie should have got a yellow card ,

simples

if people can clearly not see that was a deliberate stamp they need there eyes checking

The FA are apparently to look into it. Hopefully a longer ban will ensue as the ref gave nothing during the game itself. I'm honestly verging on supporting UTD in next week's derby..:eek: :D

Im supporting UTD next week as much as it pains me to admit it:p, i hope UTD give them a right good spanking but if Adebayor gets banned he will miss that match...watching it again on SSN now with some ref expert and they keep showing the stamp in slow motion...if Adebayor didnt mean to stamp on RvPs head then im santa claus:p:D...the way his foot goes towards RvPs face shows to me a deliberate intent to injure him. Anyone who says otherwise needs to head down to specsavers asap...

I really really do hope the FA throw the book at him...petulant little **** that he is :/
