i think that is press logic, 3 incidents all worthy of a 3 match ban each 3x3 nine game ban

Did they apply the same logic to others. "Negrito" mentioned 37 times surely would have warranted a bigger ban? You cannot reasonably review the whole match and tot up the foul count. If they did, as Hairy says , there will be an uproar...


At the end of the day NO PLAYER is bigger than the Club. In all respects we have the high ground and the managerial authority the bunch across the park can can only dream about. We are unequivocal in our condemnation. Now watch Moyes really screw every other manager in public when we are on the receiving end. It's so much easier to do when you already hold yourself to the highest standard.

All that said what he has done is also a pretty good input into any interview process for a club who believes success comes from strong management.

I found this on a sky report

The FA will review video evidence of the incident, and could hand out a three-match ban, with Fellaini set to miss games against West Ham, Wigan and Chelsea. However, in theory, the Belgian could be banned for each incident if referee Halsey missed all three and retrospectively rules each was worthy of a red card.

Maybe DM's preemptive fine and condemnation worked in our/his favour.
He misses 3 games and we have to consider that a bit of a let off.
Halsey's report saved him too.
Still a for thinking it woudn't be seen.
I wonder if DM will make him train and be at all the games, so he doesn't get Christmas in Brussels?

Yup, 3 matches.

Is this the last of him at Everton then? Will he go in the transfer window? £30m to Arse or Chelsea, to fund another striker, a goalie, and a box to box midfielder?

At least this was good...

Gordon Taylor, chief executive of the Professional Footballers Association, gave credit to Fellaini and Moyes.
"It is good to see the lad has apologised for his actions," Taylor said. "It is disappointing, he has had a great season and obviously it is an aberration.
"It was refreshing to hear the manager accept what he did was wrong and for the player to apologise. He's prepared to accept what comes his way."

Nice one. Fuck off lawro and the rest of you shitehawks.

WTF is going on when refs allow Shawcross to get away with holding in the box a dozen times in one match?

Shawcross is a marked man now though Hairy... he'll be left alone by the refs for the next game.. or it will look like they are picking him out... a couple of pens will be given against him in the game after... yep... against the fucking shite on 26 Dec...

It was still illegal to hold on to another player to prevent his movement. Meaning the first foul that was committed in the Stoke City penalty area in the 59th minute on Saturday was by defender Ryan Shawcross.

'That does not justify Marouane Fellaini’s reaction, and is only the tiniest mitigation for an incident that will almost certainly end with a three-match ban for the Everton player, but it is nevertheless an important fact.

You are so fucking right. I'm going to put money on the Shite getting a pen and Shawcross getting a red card
