The clowns at UEFA have extended AWB’s ban for ’rough play’ for that tackle against Young Boys. A tackle which was identical to the one last night by Kevin DeBruyne against PSG for which he got a yellow card. Makes you wonder how much influence City now have at UEFA after the court battle over FFP.
UEFA extend AWB ban to two games and reduce it back to one

Your having us on.
Surely not ?

Kevin De Bruyne does the exact tackle last night and gets a yellow card - makes sense!

Not even to imitate RAWK but de Bruyne has the most extreme PL. Getting individual awards he nowhere near deserves and now avoiding blatant red cards, it is hilarious.
Absurd decision making by the UEFA.

UEFA and their refs are incompetent, what else is new?
WTF even is “rough play”? And how can anyone get a red card without “rough play”? Why is additional punishment needed when he’s already been sent off and will miss a game? Has this ever happened before?
So many questions…

Not good not good at all..
Well Villarreal and Atalanta games now become chance for Dalot to shine. If he doesn't do well then his United career is most probably going to end next summer. We should be attacking in both games as we'll play at Old Trafford and given Dalot is better in attack he could be useful.
Shame for AWB, it was a clear red card but I did not expect it to be more than 1 game suspension.

Pratfall of clowns.
It’s nearly like UEFA know it’s the position we’re are least equipped in..
Not a bad thing
Well, I can answer at least that one: dissent, denial of an obvious goalscoring opportunity, using offensive, insulting or abusive language and/or gestures.
Anyway, here's a similar UEFA decision - extending a player's suspension for rough play - after the Sparta Praha v AC Milan game from last season's Europa League:

Well, at least Dalot will get a chance to prove himself. He's done alright the last few games. He offers more of an attacking threat than AWB so it could even make us less lopsided. But maybe this is all just wishful thinking on my part and he'll regress into the pre-Italy Dalot.
So effectively he misses three games? Cnuts.
Rough play? Kinky.
Seems excessive though.

Its funny how KDB gets away with it and AWB gets extra game ban.
Money talks.

So every red card that isn’t for one of the reasons in bold is a two match ban? This might have always been the case. I honestly can’t remember.
Just waiting for that De Bruyne Tackle to be reviewed by UEFA……any minute now.
Many of the refs in our Europa campaign were very questionable despite us getting to the final
City’s lawyers already on the case I bet.
Was that the same referee, seeing the action from the same angle?
I don't know if people are wumming or being serious.

No, red cards, by default, incur one match bans - I just wanted to remind you that it's perfectly possible to get a red card without rough play, whatever the feck that means because I can't find an actual definition of it.
In the linked pdf the Sparta player got a red card in the game and the UEFA committee found that the offence constituted rough play and therefore his ban got extended. I'm not sure what are the grounds for doing so. The FIFA Laws of the Game documents use the terms serious foul play and violent conduct and define them quite well but of course it doesn't talk about disciplinary proceedings.
After watching Milan v Atletico yesterday, I'm convinced the referees are just idiots. You can ask why UEFA continues to employ incompetent morons like Cakir, but there isn't enough evidence to suggest the refs are fixing matches on behalf of UEFA.
Doesn’t really matter when you have VAR sitting and watching it.
That’s ridiculous! Even so, how has it taken them this long to reach that conclusion?
VAR is meant to solve that
UEFA are fecking scum!!!!! Double standards or what.
I like the cut of this Alexsander Ceferin's jib
It does because it's not the same referees. It's still a subjective decision.
Great timing
It doesn’t. They all have to work to the same rules. If tackles of that type are deemed worthy of two game bans then a yellow card isn’t sufficient punishment and the ref and VAR aren’t doing their job.
Sad to say I’m not even surprised. Absolute fecking wankers running this game.
So you think that all referees interpret an action similarly and that they all give the same sanctions 100% of the time? It feels like I'm living on a different planet.
Yeah cos Dalot's brilliant isn't he.
Not to sound RAWKish, but we're seriously been fecked over by horrendous officiating so far this season.
fecking clowns
Are we seriously getting butthurt over this? Both of them were unlucky in the sense that they definitely didn't mean to hurt the other player but the difference is that De Bruyne clearly got the ball first and then the other guy's leg is planted later.
