Moussa Sissoko

Can't get worked up over this as I would be demanding action if it had been the other way around. Just means our league side picks itself next two games.
 
Poch had said that it he has seen the incident on TV and thinks there is no intention, but still we have decided to accept the verdict. Seems like a contradiction. Probably tactically accepting it because we believe we have no chance of getting the verdict overturned anyway, and we think it's better that one of the games he will be suspended for is in the League Cup.

I still wish we'd stop being so fudging nice all the time, though. It's very easy to continue giving us an unfair treatment when we always accept it.

Not seen the Aguero one against West Ham but City fan was saying it was the same, they were also saying "it only happens to us"

the referee genuinely didn't see that one, it's not retrospective action I have a problem with with its referees bottling the decision and lying about it
 
and...

that its not retrospective for every action in the game, only the ones that the (anti Spurs) media flag up
 
The lenghty conversation between referee and linesman:

Referee: So... Mr. Assistant referee, did you get a good look at the incident?

Linesman (sorry, Assistant referee): No, Mr. Referee, I'm sorry. I know I was only standing a couple of yards away from the incident, but I saw absolutely nothing at all. There was sweat in my eyes, and it was stinging like hell, so I was blinking in an attempt to make it better. If only I had covered my eyebrows with vaseline like Jim Leighton used to do back in the day. Had I done that, perhaps I would have seen something.

Referee: Who the hell is Jim Leighton?

Assistant referee: Scottish goalkeeper. Used to play for Man Utd and Aberdeen.

Referee: Is that so? I've never been that interested in football. So does that stuff actually help? You see, I was looking straight at the incident myself and there was no one in my line of sight, but I didn't see anything either.

Assistant referee: I would assume so. There is nothing the Scottish don't know about protection against perspiration.

Referee: That is true, I suppose. So neither of us saw anything then?

Asssistant referee: I certainly didn't see a thing.

Referee: Okay, thank you for tip about the vaseline.

Assistant referee: You're welcome.

Harry Arter (in a loud voice): No, no accident!

That lip reading course you took finally paid off.
 
It amazes me how our fans scream injustice when one of our players steps out of line. Sure as brick if a opposing player did the same think as Sissoko did they would be foaming at the mouth to make sure he got banned for it.
 
Although I like KoN digging up Jim Leighton, and i see where the complaints re the ref missing something he's looking straight at are coming from, it still looked a stonewall red to me. Really dumb.
