Mousa Dembele

Not sure they can do retrospective as the lineman saw/got involved, so the officials actively didn't take action at the time

actually he did not get involved, and I think he would claim he did not see it because if he did it should have been a straight red

Yeah the linesman actually pulled his arm back just after he did it, so not sure how he can claim he didn't see it
 
There was so much that could be construed a red, if they ban Dembele, they need to go through the whole match and pull up umpteen other offences too. Granted not as 'stylised' as Dembele's effort! But equally as bad.

Was watching The Prophet - French movie - which has a proper eye gouge in it. Dembele needed a tea spoon!
 
Banned until the end of the season for that gouge on Costa?
What caused Dembele's reaction was Costa pinching/squeezing Dembele's back. I wonder if anything will be said about that. Or about Costa headbutting Vertonghen. And about the incident with Walker that ended with Walker getting a nosebleed that they never showed a replay of. Or about whatever happened at the end when Costa had clearly done something to make Michel Vorm furious. I really hope someone someday gives Costa what he deserved and ends his career.
 
Referees report says I didn't see it

TV footage is then shown

Yeo you didn't see it your Lino was watching so what did he say???

Nothing he didn't see it???

Hold on, was it Arsene Wenger running the line

Agreed. Didn't think I'd detest anyone's face more than Pires, Henry etc but then along came Suarez and now this utter prick.

I can set it being a 5-6 game ban tbh. It is kind of in the same sphere as the Suarez biting incident in terms of being so out of sync with what is expected or is seen in a football match. Shame really, silly person to get banned over but I hope it is just these last two games and the first game of next season but I'm not hopeful.

I'd be more in favour of someone ending Fabregas' career tbh. He is the epitome of sneaky. Proper little judas that tries to give it out to us but your an ex Arsenal player who has gone to Chelsea! Hardly notable behaviour.
 
But the ref and lino should then be banned for failing to do their job then

Would have been very different had Cakttenburg booked the players early


You crack me up, you are blaming the officials when Dembele was a mug for doing what he did. He deserves a 3 game ban, end of

Apparently Costa bit someone after the game
 
He lost control of that match when he failed to get the red card out in the first few minutes.

This hogwash of not booking/sending off players in the first 20 minutes is ridiculous.

Apparently though, if we ever complain of the night Peter Crouch got two yellows inside 15 mins at the Bernabeau for challenges which would've barely raised a fart in this one, we are 'sour' and 'not being objective'...I agree wholeheartedly. When that stupid log Ivanovich cleaned out Eriksen and wasn't carded, when Costa wasn't carded for and elbow and when Mikel wasn't carded for his elbow, it was clear that tacotenberg was back in his old guise.

When the officials don't protect players (i.e. do their jobs) this is what happens. Thus yes, it IS on the officials.
