I love this ****.

There should be more if it. Refs should give spot-kicks the other way for frivolous penalty appeals on the pitch.

"I say old chap, that's a frightfully frivolous appeal for a penalty and I am giving one the other way!"

[dww]

To be honest it was a soft sending off but as it was to the letter of the law so from that angle the appeal was frivolous. Having said that if the same standards were applied then Mascher would also have been sent off.

It is funny but also quite ridiculous. A 4 match ban basically for a nothing incident. The FA are a bunch of morons but.....

[Jack D Rips]

This kind of FA logic can come back and bite you in the arse.

Mascher is very lucky that the ref didnt see what he did and that video evidence wasnt used against him.

It may be funny to see players from other clubs get hammered but it wont be when it happens to us

Yeah but it has happened to a player from another club so we can point & laugh...

[Los Rojos]

Well harsh that.

[Scratch]

What did Mascher do tho? It looked to me like he just tweaked Aliadiere's nose...i was wathing on the internet, so it wasn't the clearest of pics.

All Masher did was a sort of 'Choochy Face' thing to Aliadiere, A la Mike & Bernie Winters. Aliadiere decided to try & slap him for it, obviously not a fan of the comic duo, although 'Comic' is a matter of opinion. So it's an extra game ban for 'choochy face'. eeeeeeeeeeee. (est youngsters will not know what i speak of).

pure comedy

[sambirken]

they clearly should not have appealled. harsh but what did they expect

mascher was a bit lucky at the time but they still shouldnt have appealled against Aliadiere

I thought Mascherano's expression was priceless. Squeezes the little ****'s cheeks, gets a bitchslap and looks at the ref with a face that was the picture of innocence as though .... "what did I do to deserve that?"

[dww]

To be honest it reminded me of Heinze and pissed me off.
