At last a manager has had the honor to ban a player for cheating or
thuggish behavior. Unlike the red faced drunk at OT or the cunt who tries to justify his players diving at Stamford Bridge, Stuart Pearce sets the standard for all clubs this season by banning Thatcher and also phoning Portsmouth's manager Harry Redknapp to personally apologize. Lets hope other follow his excellent behavior this year. Well done Pierce! http://football.guardian.co.uk/News...1858689,00.html |

Nothing to do with honour, more to do with not bringing the club into disrepute. By suspending the player, City have probably protected themselves from any FA action against the club. ISTR a certain other manager did that when a player was obviously going to get totally shafted for his actions. -- Steve H 'You're not a real petrolhead unless you've owned an Alfa Romeo' www.italiancar.co.uk - Honda VFR800 - Hongdou GY200 - Alfa 75 TSpark Alfa 156 2.0 TSpark - B6 Passat 2.0TDI - COSOC KOTL BoTAFOT #87 - BoTAFOF #18 - MRO # - UKRMSBC #7 - Apostle #2 - YTC # |

Nope. It is simply the pressure piled on by the media that "psycho" has repsonded to. I'd have praised him if he'd come out and put thew pressure on to the FA, whose current rules Thatcher hasn't even broached. Then he should start on FIFA who state that if a referee deals with a situation, then it cannot be dealt with again. In other words. Pearce has shit out. -- Moog http://www.last.fm/user/efcmoog/ "I used to be with it but then they changed what 'it' was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems weird and scary to me." |

Nope, City have done all they can be expected to. Pointing the finger at
the FA's rules and more importantly, the failings of the match officials is a job for everyone else involved in football. I haven't heard any citicism of the referee, his assistants or the fourth official for failing to spot a red card offence between them. If Stuart Pearce was to do it he would leave himself open to criticism for trying to deflect blame from Thatcher. |

But he did shit out by reacting to the media and their bleating. As far as I'm concerned, it is a football matter. It needs to be dealt with by the footballing authorities, if even it needs dealing with. If Pearce wishes to bow down to media pressure then so be it. Don't be fooled though, this is the ONLY reason why Pearce and City have reacted in the way they have. -- Moog http://www.last.fm/user/efcmoog/ "I used to be with it but then they changed what 'it' was.
