Aguero's elbow on Reid | Appeal rejected - Three match ban

[Attila]

How many games is violent conduct?

Edit - nevermind, 3 games

Man Utd fans have been tweeting the video to the FA

Excellent. He has to be banned

If he scores against us you can imagine Mourinho causing a shit storm for the FA to deal with so best to just ban him now

 

[Nighteyes]

I want to beat them with him playing for them.

IF we weren't playing against them I'd love him to get banned.

feck that shit. The little cnut gets away with too much

 

[Scrumpet]

They'll ban him

 

[ivaldo]

How what, sorry? I mean I've seen more blatant, aggressive attacks (for example many from Fellaini) go unpunished. Not saying this should go unpunished, I don't think it should, but I can't see him getting banned.

I dont see how you can get more blatant than intentionally elbowing someone, how does it get more blatant than that?

 

[Giggs86]

100% ban. He won't get away with it, it is too obvious to ignore.

Needs to be banned for that.

 

[U99ted]

He obviously should be banned. Agüero has got a bit of a nasty streak in him, which comes out now and again.

The first time was a stamp on David Luiz, but I think most people were fine with that.

 

[Striker10]

We're not scared of City. We're just not as stupid as they are If I were a City fan, I'd be more bothered about the fact Sergio clearly don't want to play for City in the Derby. It was so avoidable! He can't be too bothered..

 

[Maradona10]

If he does not get banned, i think mourinho will come out and say it and then say everything is against us. Fergie used to do it too, start the mind games(i am not sure how much that has an effect).
I do think fellaini or costa or suarez(if he was at pool) would get banned. I am not sure about aguero because some players never get it, like ramires or scholes.

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

If that was Fellaini, he'd be banned. F.A needs to show some consistency and ban him, regardless of whether he connected properly or not.

 

[ManchesterUnitedFan]

I want to beat them with him playing for them.

IF we weren't playing against them I'd love him to get banned.

Yeah, would rather not take a chance on that. He always seems to pull them out of the shit somehow .

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Mirror are already picking up the story. Good. Few other outlets should do this as well. FA only acts as a result of media influence.

Henry Winter tweeted about it and that it is a ban, so the more the merrier.

 

[Hisha]

Could someone please update with Bilic, Pep and commentators response to the incident?

Oh no, Oil FC are back in business.

 

[FujiVice]

There's absolutely zero chance he's not getting banned for that. This happened countless times last season, and now they've clamped down even more on shit like this. I cant see how it is possible for the FA to turn a blind eye to this.

 

[Mister_Stubbs]

I reckon Winston Reid is going to get banned for headbutting Aguero's arm. Disgraceful behaviour. 10 game ban needed.

 

[MDFC Manager]

Very good. More in media need to pick it up and make noise.

Media are certain to make a big deal of this, simply because they can't wait for a big Mourinho-Pep flare up.

 

[rotherham_red]

From GifLord's vid, the ref saw it, no chance he's getting banned. Thank you Andre fecking Marriner

 

[SwansonsTache]

So how quick are the FA usually to pick up on stuff like this? And do they also come out with a statement about not taking retrospective action if they decide not to? Or do they just bypass it?

Mourinho is probably on the horn to Duncan Castles now dictating an article word by word.

 

[Red Dreams]

bringing other incidents or players into this just muddys the situation.
Look at it again. He was clearly irritated by Reid. Got angry, clenched his fist and elbowed him.

what else is there to talk about.

violent conduct and 3 match ban. The ref was looking away.

 

[Chicharito_]

A ban for sure, everyone on Sky saying it. Stupid from him but we'll have to take it.

 

[crappycraperson]

There will be no ban. Ref was right there, there is no way he can say that he did not see it.

 

[saivet]

Doubt he will get banned. I recall him stamping on Luiz a few years ago (much worse than today) and I think he got away with it.

Everyone in the studio saying its a ban.

Clenched his fist, drew his arm and it doesn't look good is what they're saying. Good 3/4 mins and still going they've been talking about it.

 

[Dobba]

This. Same guy that got away with this:

 

[Leftback99]

He'll get away with it. It's a City player we're talking about.

 

[The Man Himself]

Media are certain to make a big deal of this, simply because they can't wait for a big Mourinho-Pep flare up.

If he doesn't get banned, Mou will make it a topic in pre-match, surely. I don't want him to get him into that mode just yet though.

 

[Nighteyes]

The ref saw it. Not a chance it's a ban

 

[Phurry]

Redknapp in defending Aguero shocker. The only surprise here is Quinn is actually talking sense for once.

 

[panz]

Looking at the replays I think he actually hit Reid's neck with his fist, elbow didn't connect but there's definite intent in the action.

 

[Classical Mechanic]

Ban him - ban him and BAN HIM AGAIN.

Six point deduction too.

 

[Damien]

Bluemoon:

It was quite clearly intentional.

No it wasn't. It was a 'get off me' type of swing.

Yeah because that isn't intentional.

 

[Irrational.]

So they in turn tweet about us tweeting about it, thus increasing the noise.

Foul play should be punished, during or after the match.

There's no way Aguero isn't getting banned for this, even if @Mark_Barca writes a letter on behalf of Pep to the FA pleading for their exoneration.

*The last part of the post was made in jest, and must not be taken seriously.

 

[SwansonsTache]

If the ref saw it like so many think, then why didn't he take any action? Not even a yellow or a talking to.

That will be more of a worthy talking point than if he actually missed it, which can be understandable.

 

[CallyRed]

Sky are saying Aguero withdrew his arm at the last minute, as such it might save him.

In which case why did the player go off then if there was minimal connection?

 

[Adisa]

This. Same guy that got away with this:

How did he not get banned for that?

 

[amolbhatia50k]

I remember there was a time when conversation here about Aguero would turn into an appreciation session about how much of a darling bloke he apparently was.

Thank feck that stopped.

I saw the ref looking at Reid on the floor, but not sure if he saw what had actually happened. We have to hope that was the case.
