Why is Steven Gerrard?

[EAFC_rdfl]

never mind the dive, at least he got done for it, what about rooting the ball at bosingwa when he was on the ground, a great example to set. not that bosingwa is any better after his stunt, but he has publicly apologised for it

[Roadend]

, but he has publicly apologised for it

Oh that's ok then, maybe that's why the FA aren't bothering with any action against him.....

FA cant do anything they can only intervene if referee or linesman say they did no see incident ... ref said he did not see it (must have had his eyes closed ) ,, but linesman said he seen incident so f a cannot now punish boswinga :confused: if linesman did see incident why did he not tell referee.. linesmen are very quick to flag and tell referees player abused them / kicked ball away but this fella fails to tell ref of player kicking another player into back :mad::mad:

I think Bosingwa more placed his boot on his back and pushed him forward with it as opposed to kicking or stamping on his back. He should have been booked or whatever but I'm glad to see that players aren't being sent off for stuff like that. There might be some element of manliness left in the game afterall. I think a yellow card would have been more than enough for Delap as well, stupid but no great harm done I don't think and hardly dangerous.

SkyTop4, no punishment needed, even if it is 1970's style Rugby rucking on a players back while he is standing up.....
They were very quick to abandon the "referee seen it" rule for the Ben Thatcher challenge on Mendes a couple of years ago. There are 2 sets of laws in the Premier League 1 for the top 4 and 1 for the rest.
Arsenal Sign Arshavin over a day after the end of the transfer window!!!

yes seems to favour big four alright.. on arshavin transfer .. seems f.a. ok'd deal even though paperwork from zenit arrived well after deadline of 5pm.. deadline was only extended to accomadate players / clubs having medicals / discuss terms due to extreme bad weather and all paperwork still had to be with f.a before 5pm.. :mad:

[endabob1]

I can't see how the weather affected the Arshavin deal when he was in a hotel in Hertfordshire on the Sunday.......
Stephen Kelly wasn't able to get from Birmingham to Stoke because of the weather which is fair enough but if Arsenal were in Herfordshire (at their training ground) & Zenit were there & Arshavin was there...........
Maybe it was too cold for him to strip down for his medical or it might have been too cold to press the numbers on the fax machine to sent the paperwork through on time, all theories welcome!

Agreed... and I was just happy to see Bosingwa get away with it. They could have left Wright Phillips off as well twas no more than Beckhams WC flick. The guys bringing in all these zero tolerance rules would want to grow a pair of :ball::ball:

Agreed...and I was just happy to see Bosingwa get away with it. Wright Phillips could really have been left off as well, twas no more than Beckhams little girly flick that time in the WC. The guys bringing in these zero tolerance rules would want to grow a pair of :ball::ball:

Well on the bright side for Benitez with Gerrard out it will at least give the Torres/Keane partnership time to gel properly.
