Breaking News....Eduardo charged

[OneBardGooner]

So basically now the precedent is set. Any player who commits an offence not picked up by the referee can be retrospectively punished.

So diving, off the ball shenanigans, sly digs etc. are all a thing of the past. Football has been cleaned up!!

LIKE FUCK IT HAS

Players have been diving, simulating whatever the fuck you want to call it, for 40 fucking years and now the decide to act??

FUCK OFF UEFA, FUCK OFF PLATINI.

If Eddie was punished for diving during the match he would have got a yellow card. Now he's gonna get a 2 match ban because it was looked at after the match.

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

UEFA = FARCE.

To right Rodders...that shittwatcrunt vidic should now also be banned for hitting the pompey striker - off the ball - oooops what was I thinking....he's a scum manure player - and nothing will be done.....

[benglenton]

the rule is absolutely CLEAR
"if an Arsenal Football Club player dives, disciplinary provediments will be adopted as soon is possible"

[augie]

I was one of those that believed that eduardo's dive was shocking and he should be punished but this shit is fcuking ridiculous Has anybody even heard of that shit rule that they have charged the dude with breaking ?

As many of you will know I havent been impressed with a lot of the shit coming out of wengers mouth for the last 2 years or so but I thought that his response in todays press conference was almost spot on He rightfully question their use of video evidence on this occasion when they have strongly dismissed this proposal as recently as 3 weeks ago He rightly questions why uefa have never applied this form of treatment to players and clubs when it has happened in the past and he is absolutely correct in speaking about the dives that have been allowed against us in the premier league I am now at the point where I feel that the club should go legal with this if they need to cos there is no precedent for this and we can say with absolute certainty that this practise will not be levied in every similar situation in the future

[Radford149]

It was a dive, it was embarrassing and Wengers response was embarrassing. Eduardo deserves to be banned!

Radford thinks this is one of the worst posts ever. saying your own player deserves to be banned. what sort of lillywhite world do you live in and want?

it pisses Radford off at this "oh we want a perfect game with good manners and perfect sportsmanship". wake up posters its about wining.

[rodders999]

Diving/simulation caught by the referee in the course of a match is a yellow card.

So can someone please explain how the fuck diving/simulation is punishable with a two match ban when not caught by the referee?

Even by UEFA'a standards that's sad.

[OneBardGooner]

This is the Eufa statement:

``Having studied video evidence of the incident in question, the UEFA disciplinary inspector decided to charge the player concerned. The UEFA control and disciplinary body will examine the case on September 1.''

The charge is based on Article 10, paragraph 1c of the UEFA disciplinaryregulations (misconduct of players) which states: ``Players may be suspended fortwo competition matches, or for a specified period, for acting with the obvious intent to cause any match official to make an incorrect decision or supporting his error of judgment and thereby causing him to make an incorrect decision.''

However what I noticed was:

for acting with the obvious intent to cause any match official to make an incorrect decision or supporting his error of judgment and thereby causing him to make an incorrect decision.''


if this is the case - then firstly they cannot 100% prove that Edaurdo set out with 'obvious intent to cause any match official to make an incorrect decision'

whether he 'chose' to dive, or it was one of them millisplitsecond decisions where the body takes over from the mind - the old primal instinct thing - or not, neither we or eufa will ever know...and further to their staement...if indeed a / any player

"supporting his error of judgment and thereby causing him to make an incorrect decision"

Then surely every single player in the prem is Guilty by proxy - how many players have crowded around the ref attempting to 'influence' his decision in their favour - or how about how Vidic cuffed the pompey striker - and when the ref looked over at him - he did the Gallic shrug thing and shook his head as if to say - 'I don't know what he's on about ref'
Because THAT is a prime example of

"supporting his error of judgment and thereby causing him to make an incorrect decision"


I am hopeful of 3 things coming out of this whole sorry saga:

1. Arsenal get the top notch lawyers onto it - and they tie eufa up in knots and eufa say aaaah feck zis ...forget it we cannot prove anything...

2. Eduardo will have learned NOT to Dive...unfortunatley he is the victim of that old media witchhunt thing, where they build someone up - heroic figure - then drag em down and give em a right good (media frenzied) kickin' - especially when it's a non-british person concerned...xenophobia is alive and well in the mind of Tyldesley and all the media!

3. If "IF" they do go ahead and charge and ban Eduardo - then this is same level of dsihing out punishment is done across the board to all players in all countried (yes, I know I'm living in fantasy land...but I did say 'hope')

EDUARDO!
EDUARDO!

ps: you watch that scunshrektwat dive tomorrow and get a pen! and sweet feck all will be done or said....

[piresistible]

what a bloody joke - i mean for these tossers to realise that he dived and to ban him is taking the fng mick - when the the crowned king rooney does it - no problem - owen does it - very clever and a foreign player and wiat he plays for arsenal OHHH BOOYY you're in for it now.... bloody toss pot racist swanks..

yu can tell AW is well angry and just like any rasonable minded person knows full well what's being said and done to Eduardo IS a FECKIN "WITCH HUNT"

[afc-bob]

This is an absolute disgrace... Uefa have dug a deep hole for themselves now... What about Torres against us in the CL Diving every 20 seconds.. No Punishement ... Gerrard,Rooney,Ronaldo diving every weekend.. No Punishment


Proof if proof was needed that Arsenal always get the hard deal...


Disgraceful Uefa I hope ye are Proud
Cant wait til Rooney/Ronaldo/Gerrard dives again

[BT]

It's bloody spitgate all over again. Cesc is the only player ever to wear a hoodie and walk on his own pitch gets charged, media witch hunt ensues.

Arsenal should raise this ban everytime there is a dubious incident, starting with Ashley Young. I dont remember this much fuss when Arshavin denied he should have had a penalty last season... It didnt even effect the bloody result - they had one shot on goal all game! Unlike Babel and Gerrard's dives of years gone by. Unlike Pederson in the Blackburn game last season, he didnt even claim for a penalty.

Now I know it was a dive but did anyone think a man who had his leg severed in a horrific tackle might want to skip out of challange and go to ground rather than wait til contact was made...or have i got my arsenal tinted glasses on with that reasoning?!

I only hope this will unite the team further and they appoach the game tomorrow with a siege mentality

ABSOLUTELY 1000% RIGHT THERE BT !!

[Bring Back Pires]

Would love it if Eduardo scored at Old Trafford tomorrow and did the 'dive' celebration with the rest of the team. Or if Eboue scored, and lifted up his shirt to reveal a "Clive Tyldesley is a *word censored*" shirt underneath.

Thought Wenger was tremendous in today's press conference. Absolutely spot on, and glad he dared venture into the bias against foreign players (relating to diving). He let the press off rather easily though, as they're responsible for escalating this.

vote if you think it was wrong!

[augie]

Watch and see how long it will take the refs in engerland to screw us with a dodgy penalty decision now There is no doubt that most level headed people will look at the dive by eduardo and be rightly disgusted with it but referee's are a different breed of *word censored* altogether and have a real opportunity to exact revenge

Where I do believe that wenger is wrong though is that he is now saying that he has conclusive proof that there was contact between the keeper plus eduardo is maybe pulling out of tackles as a result of the thug tackle he suffered v brummies. Firstly if there was contact it was eduardo that instigated it but secondly he should in no way use that disgraceful incident as a defense for what eduardo did and I would call that embarrassing to say the least.

The very fact that this story still has legs is down to your media outlets in engerland who keep this story alive by keeping it in the public eye. Sky in particular are in a position of great influence and like most organisations in similar positions they are quite prone to abusing that power. The double standards at play here is, in my opinion at least, as much down to sky as it is uefa but their selective coverage of these incidents. As has been said already pulling a players jersey on a referee's blind side must surely be treated with the same contempt now cos again it is deceiving the ref but highlighting instances like that wont do anything for sky. If that dive occured on the halfway line wed night would it gotten the same amount of coverage ? I fcuking doubt it but yet the crime is the very same

[Captain Fabregas]

We will never win a penalty ever again now even if it is one
