Jip99 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 It's that old Top 4 thing again Last year we were hearing a bout a top 1 thing. .... but that slipped up. The upcoming away games at Arsenal and Chelsea (+ Southampton and Spurs' easier run in) will determine whether 'top four' is realistic. Will he get sacked if you finish fifth? Or sixth or seventh? I thought jip99 was a United fan ?. Jip99 is a Forest supporter - the clue is the the avatar. Given that it is likely to be a long time before Forest are back in the top flight - and I cannot watch EPL games as a neutral - I have attached my Premiership support to United. Come on you Reds! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jellydog Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Skrtel denies the charge. What a comedian The denial is worthy of an increased ban. What a clown. Three match ban for Marty the Molester. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicog Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel has been issued with a three match ban. It comes after he stood on goalkeeper David De Gea in the last seconds of Liverpool's 2-1 home defeat by Manchester United on Sunday. The referee missed the foul and Martin Skrtel has said he didn't intend to do it. The ban means Skrtel will miss big games against Arsenal and Newcastle, plus the FA Cup quarter-final replay at Blackburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkles Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Total joke that Skrtel only gets the same ban as Gerard. Gerard's was a split second of madness which he admitted and apologised for. In Skrtels case he knew 10 metres away, when he was bearing down on De Gea, that he was not going to get to the ball before the keeper. So instead of hurdling him or swerving he decided to leave his mark and then had the nerve to say it was accidental and appeal. The FA really bottled it, should have been 10 weeks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, so are you saying that the rules are that you can appeal against a red card given by the panel and not get penalized but if you appeal against a red card given the ref then you do get penalized ?

There is no appeal if the ref has seen it. If you appeal and it's considered frivolous, then they have the power to extend it. Quite why the FA didn't see that pathetic bleat of an appeal as frivolous is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree with you but then again isn't it Skrtel who is the one who has inflamed this?!! If he's kept his trap shut, then everyone else would have moved on as you suggest. Posting pictures of clowns!! Theres only one person behaving like a clown here. I think the media and football fans are simply irritated by his attitude to the situation. Look how quickly the Gerrard sending off been forgotten since he simply held his hands up.. Could it be Skrtel's actually as stupid as he looks?

BangrakBob Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Sturridge out for a month, that will be 6 months without this season. Considering no real strikers up front and our form up until December, it's amazing we are actually in 5th spot right now. Gerrard, Lallana, The Hills Have Eyes all out too. Sterling being relieved from England duty possibly also out. Arsenal may just put us out of our misery next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think super slow motion replays (which can totally distort an incident a real time incident) and media commentators shouting opinions to gain "clicks" has inflamed the situation. There is no absolute proof he meant to do it, Gerrard yes but I don't know where else Skrtel was supposed to put his foot. And if he didn't mean to do it, as he as said in a club statement he has every right to feel aggrieved by the ban and about the lynch mob mentality of the likes on here.

I think the 12 M was worth it considering the goals he returned so far, but it may be the case going forward, as you say. Without doubt some serious summer striker/s search is on.
