Diego Costa

[DH1988 1,193]

if the intent was so clear why have you still not explained why he 'clearly meant it'???

What is there to explain? You can see on the video he clearly meant it but those with blue coloured eyes let alone tinted glasses will always try to back Costa like the Liverpool fans did with Suarez.

Yawn.

"As for Diego Costa, I see it differently to the rest," he wrote in his London Evening Standard column.

"I thought his actions were at the lower end of the scale of dangerous and that he was under extreme provocation from Martin Skrtel, who has wound him up before this season.

"My view of it was that Costa gets kicked a lot and actually his patience is to be admired in many, if not all, situations."

Yawn.

So what your saying is you can't explain how he clearly meant it? Thought so.

It's nothing to do with him being a Chelsea player, you simply can not prove any intent, if Costa stamped on him the same way Adebayor stamped on Van Persie I wouldn't be defending Costa, but in this incident what is clear is that, you simply cannot prove any intent, and in fact it's much easier to argue it was accidental, which I believe it was.

Costa was he lucky to stay on the field? Yes. But also Lucas & Henderson. Does he deserve to get banned retrospectively? Not in my opinion.

The comments on here about Costa's step on Can's leg make me lose faith in a jury based justice system.

Alot of people just don't seem to have any idea what constitutes 'proof' and 'clear intent' when i read people on here stating things like: "it's obviously clear when you look at the video he intended to 'stamp' on the leg"

It just isn't.

The only thing that video is proof of, is the fact that Costa is not that nice guy who goes out of his way to make sure he doesnt step on somebody by accident (AND THAT IS A BIG DIFFERENCE)

And if i knew how to post a youtube video i would have posted that famous Randall badger video: 'He just doesn't give a shit'

I'd love to discuss this with Stan Colleymore but unfortunately he blocked me over 2 years ago when he was having a heated discussion about diving with Hayley McQueen from sky sports news. I proceeded to butt in and tweet

'Seems like you don't agree with her, Stan. Should probably beat her up like you did Ulrika.' Blocked

He was blocking Chelsea fans last night faster than Ulrika could block his punches, the scumbag.

How can the ref have not seen it? It was by the dugout too so if he didn't see it then the fourth official or linesman would have.

My problem is definition

STAMP = deliberate action moving down intended to cause harm

What I actually believe Diego did is STEPPED on the leg! There was NO STAMP.

Yes it was stupid - but he DID NOT STAMP

HE STEPPED onto Cams leg. And Oliver was right fucking there - and how he can claim he didn't see it is ridiculous

Do I wish he hadn't stepped on Cam's leg - hell yes - but this trial by media needs to be STAMPED out - it's fucking disgraceful...

As for people claiming its a stamp - please feel free to pop by my house and I will demonstrate the difference

CAMPAIGN AGAINST CHELSEA

[Special Juan 27,093]

This it now, this is now the bar they must set for every single supposed stamp, kick out or even raised hand.

This incident should be the focal point for every decision the FA make from now on.

[Eidur the Spider 4,515]

Gotta love that FA consistency eh? FUCK EM. Lets win this bloody league to spite those bastards!!
