I look forward to hearing of Guardiola retrospective ban for his behaviour over the disallowed goal, Arteta’s constant out of technical area tantrums, and Conte’s continuous misbehaviour - oh wait, only one is the Liverpool Manager. Seriously what is the point of an independent panel, set up by the FA, if the then FA don’t like the independent decision? All football bodies, FA, Premier League, UEFA and FIFA are not worth a carrot, suits with little knowledge of the game, other than money, (and no doubt some of that is dodgy as well).
Meanwhile FFP is about as useful as a chocolate teapot, and the inactivity and turning a blind eye to some of City’s antics make the whole game a joke. How can Newcastle and Forest spend so much money and be within FFP?
These bodies collectively don’t give a monkeys about the lifeblood of the game, namely us as supporters, whatever Club you support. Paris took me to the edge, I also experienced Heysel and Hillsborough. Over 60 Years ago I went to my first game, and I’ve never been so disillusioned as now with how the game is run.
What about the ineffective, and often contradictory refereeing and lining? No wonder Jurgen went off his head, not one, not two but three stages of Silva’s antics right in front of the Assistant Referee. Standard has never been so low.
