Mascherano - Extra two game ban

[DannyMan2006]

They clamped down on it one week, and one game, our game against ManU.

There has been many, many incidents with a player mouthing off at the ref and nothing has been done about it, no yellow card.

Not since the Cole incident there hasn't.

Not since the Cole incident there hasn't.

Yes, it has.

Ronaldo for example did his usual protest, not mouthing off, with waiving his arms in the air.

Many, many players have asked the question why? without being booked and if Masch was booked for that then everyone in every game should be booked for that.

That hasn't happened.

So it's comes down as usual to what you call mouthing off at the ref.

Mascherano was sent off due to his continuous complaining. He was clearly seen on TV saying **** Off to the ref on at least Three seperate occasions. He had already receieved a yellow for a bad challenge, and the second yellow was a combination.

The extra two game ban was for refusing to leave the pitch when instructed to do so. He literally had to be dragged of the pitch.

I know that he got the two games extra ban because of that and it's called bringing the game into disrepute.

The FA can charge players for that even if the ref don't mention it in his report and that is also why the FA should have charged Cole, Lampard and Terry.

They are allowed to use video evidence for that.

What did I say before? It has all been put into place after the Cole incident. Lets see what happens in future games.

****ing despicable decision. Purely cosmetic, you can bet as respect for refs goes they will change **** all, the scum and chavs will be up to their tricks regularly again when this little initiative blows over. Hore**** spineless FA bow to what the papers say instead of doing what is right.

Doing what is right? Ah, you mean not banning a player for spitting out his dummy and refusing to leave the pitch, yeah, that'll teach them. That's what the ban is for. And well deserved too.

****s sake, Mascher didn't deserve his second yellow card for questioning a decision (although he should have got one earlier for consistent swearing and abuse of the officials) but once he got it, he should have left the pitch. The manager knows he was wrong, the player knows he was wrong...Red Polo thinks he was right, and did nothing wrong in refusing to leave the pitch?

I know some folk on here like to be seen as controversial, but some times there is a thin line between controversial and retarded.

Just a quick extract from the Daily Mail Story

It's a fair Kop, says Javier, I deserve to be banned
By JOHN EDWARDS and LEE CLAYTON - More by this author » Last updated at 22:09pm on 3rd April 2008

Javier Mascherano has issued a public apology for his dissent towards referee Steve Bennett and indicated a willingness to accept the extended two-match ban and £15,000 fine dished out on Thursday by the FA.

Though Liverpool may yet appeal against the extent of his additional punishment, the Argentina midfielder was full of remorse as he reflected on his hearing before a disciplinary panel, acknowledging that he had been in the wrong.

Not going to dignify that with a response, I'm into sensible discussion not aimlessly slinging ****.

In the Spurs vs Chelsea game. He made a very bad tackle on Hutton, one of the worst this season.

Vieira did similar then was cunty to the ref after and got an extra one game added to his suspension iirc. Cole of course got **** all. There's justice for you.

[rage]

masch should have smacked him and got banned for the remainder of the season. it would have sent a clear message to the fa to stop hiring dickhead referees.

[El Jefecito]

Do we know why El Jefecito got 2 games, yet the watford player Eustace only got 1?

Ah go on, a lively debate full of mudslinging and aimless insults is what this place needs. Ever since the powers that be got rid of DJS, this place has been to bloody humdrum.
