Jonjo Shelvey

[Chazza]

No way will the FA overturn the Shelvey red.

They will point the finger to him being off the floor and 'out of control' as they put it. Its the sort of challenge that they want out of the game but 30 years ago would have been called a good tackle.

Even if they do charge Evans, Jonjo will not get off.

Twitter is easily the worst thing to happen to football since Gary Neville.

PMSL!

[Cerbie]

but only if they uphold the decision. if evans was the more dangerous tackle [two footed, so should be nailed on] then surely shelveys would be overturned.

Correct, assuming that the FA are reasonable, fair and able to make unbiased judgements

I'd rather he stayed on the pitch and not having to tell Fergie to **** off. Too hot headed. Good player though. More like Lampard than Gerrard

It was long time coming.

In every game he seems to have one or 2 very aggresive challenges and it was only a matter of time before he was sent off.

I hope he learned from this as he needs to excersize much better judgement.

Regardless of the fact Halsey made the poor call he shouldn't have found himself in that type of challenge to begin with and his sending off affected the balance of the game and ultimately the result.

so we're ****ed then

would love to see the memo/email that the FA have sent out to all the refs telling them that fergie has decreed that they should give us **** all

Of course he'll learn. He just needs experience, and I don't think he should be criticised for not having it yet. Gerrard was always a red card waiting to happen and that turned out ok.

**** off you patronising cunt.

The still shows two feet off the ground studs first however you spin it, it's a two footed challenge with studs up - red card all day long, can't see any arguement for anything different

[Scratch]

How long after a game would they charge Evans? Can we assume that if it's not done by now, they have taken the view that the ref dealt with the incident so no card is necessary?

[rudedog]

I don't think that one was a red tbh. He got booked didn't he?

It could easily have been a red :

The advice to players is to be mindful of their responsibilities towards an opponent and beware that if they commit to a tackle, at speed, with intensity, with two feet off the ground, they run the risk of being sent off.

All he had to do was catch Suso's standing leg with that and it could have been an ankle breaker - far more dangerous than Shelvey's tackle who swung his leg in from the side.

[Mostar]

Of course he'll learn. He just needs experience, and I don't think he should be criticised for not having it yet. Gerrard was always a red card waiting to happen and that turned out ok.

I hope so as one of the first thing he said after the match is that he couldn't and wouldn't shy away from that type of challenge in an important match.

Sir Alex Ferguson has accepted an apology from Jonjo Shelvey following a clash between the pair in Liverpool's recent defeat to Manchester United.

The Reds' midfielder was sent off for a foul on Jonny Evans shortly before half-time in a highly-charged encounter at Anfield.

20-year-old Shelvey aimed a verbal tirade at the United manager as he headed for the tunnel, feeling that Ferguson had influenced the decision by referee Mark Halsey.

However Shelvey, now serving a three-match ban, has revealed that he sought out the United boss immediately after the end of the game to offer an apology.

"I'm a young boy and I was frustrated because it was a big game," said Shelvey.

"You come from a council house and before you know it you're playing Man United.

"Emotions probably got the better of me. I was a bit of a silly boy, for having a word with him like that. But I pulled him afterwards and apologised.

"Thankfully, he recognised that it took a man to apologise and hopefully there are no hard feelings there."

He should have just left it as it was. 'Come from a council house and the next thing your playing Man Utd', ha! You're playing for ****ing Liverpool you numpty!

Whatever happened to those heroes, all the shake....oh never mind!

edit: Would like to have seen how DBF would have taken the apology had Utd lost!
