Monkeys Fist 38948 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Benetiz lined up apparently Mental, truly mental. Btw how long before someone here suggests Di Matteo as Pards' replacement? Benitez having "talks" tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aimaad22 3516 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 (edited) UEFA have charged Adriano with some sort of misconduct for the incident last night. Extraordinary stuff really. Didnt watch it but from reading it you feel Adriano's done something completely disgraceful to be honest. I do wonder how they could possibly punish him though? Fine? Ban? Is there a precedent for this? And since Shaktar didnt allow them to score from the restart shouldnt they be in hot water too?

Bonamental 0 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 BBC reporting that Benitez has been appointed. "Here is a statement from Chelsea: "Chelsea Football Club can confirm Rafael Benitez has been appointed interim first-team manager until the end of the season. The owner and the Board believe that in Benitez we have a manager with significant experience at the highest level of football, who can come in and immediately help deliver our objectives.""

Gejon 2 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Still don't understand this tbh, he won't increase their chances of making it through the champions league and they aren't doing bad in the league. Given he is obviously a stop gap there was absolutely no point in getting rid of RDM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm still not entirely sure on how they can charge him... is giving the ball back to the opposition in the rules or is it 'sportsmanship'? I thought the latter.

StevenL 0 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Imagine that was your team mate, what would you say to him? I think they gave him abit of stick and he shrugged his sholders. Just charge him for being an absolute cunt. He can't exactly argue the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26630 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Pretty much the same situation as when Overmars scored against Sheffield Utd after the ball was put out for an injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 14730 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Wenger offered to replay the game and Arsenal still went through. Was that the year we beat Sheffield Utd in the semi?... Would any disciplinary action come under "unsporting behaviour"?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimaad22 3516 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Can't see how they can charge him for something that isn't in the rules, that stopping play stuff gets on my nerves like. Not quite as much as getting fouled getting treatment and then having to go off for no reason which sort of takes away the advantage of getting the free kick. Aye, thats what I though but apparently they are still trying to do something about it. http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11945/8265912/Luiz-Adriano-charged-by-UEFA-after-controversial-goal-at-Nordsjaelland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
