Mascherano charged by FA

tyrone red · 26th March 2008, 16:24

Javier Mascherano has been charged with improper conduct by the Football Association.

The Liverpool midfielder faces further disciplinary action following his reaction to being dismissed by referee Steve Bennett in the defeat by Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Mascherano had to be restrained by his team-mates, manager Rafa Benitez and members of the Liverpool back-room staff after being shown a second yellow card for questioning Bennett's decision to book team-mate Fernando Torres.

Wonder what the state of RAWK is at the moment...

The FA are clearly a United-favouring body

There will be no appeal, he'll have no choice but take what's coming to him

Not best pleased about this at all.

If his ban does get extended he's gonna miss the league game against Arsenal

Psmith · 26th March 2008, 16:44

Expect a petition to be up on the net within the hour.

To be honest, Arsenal with their current form will have very serious problems with Liverpool - even without Masherano.

RedNome · 26th March 2008, 16:44

It's a shame any extra ban impossed can't effect their CL games.

After their 3-0 pasting they'll be looking to redeem themselves to show they can mix it with the big boys. Strangely, I wouldn't be surprised if they ran themselves into the ground and get a result against Arsenal. This is of course despite the fact that most of their fans have adopted the Arse as their second team in their hope that we do not pick up league title no. 17.

As for Mascherano, I love the way he's making his mark in the Premiership after securing his very expensive transfer.

Yankee Red · 26th March 2008, 16:52

Just think though if he hadda just kept his mouth shut and exercised a bit of restraint than none of this woulda happened.

Its his fault so I can't say I'm even a bit sympathetic to his ban, no matter how long it is.

Minute's silence at Anfield?

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,
Have you reached a verdict?

Yes, we have your honour, we find the defendant guilty!
On all counts for crimes against all humanity.

By virtue of the jurys decision and the power
Vested in me by the state I hereby sentence you to be
Incarcerated with no possibility of parole for life.

Masherano: Life? ...whadda ya mean life? ...i aint got a life.

Boy!...your soul better belong to jesus!...
Hmmm-mmm cause your ass belongs to me! Hahahahahaaaaa

Marching · 26th March 2008, 16:58

No surprise that he's been charged...hopefully he and the club accept it without more whining and moaning.

Rahul · 26th March 2008, 17:00

cloud218 · 26th March 2008, 17:00

It seems quite harsh. Then again, with all the respect the refs are demanding, I'm not surprised.

Good to hear, didn't see it coming though.

demapples · 26th March 2008, 18:34

The right decision.

But how Ashley Cole has not been charged too is beyond me. The FA do themselves no favours with their inconsistency.

It's all to do with the referee's report. They can only add to a player's punishment if the ref makes an additional note in his report about something to be looked into after the game which he couldn't adjudicate on at the time (i.e. misbehaviour after already being sent from the field or play).

Either that or if the ref misses an incident altogether.

All a bit illogical and stupid but this is the FA we're talking about
