Fernando Torres

[The Skipper 20,593]

@SkySportsNews: Chelsea striker Fernando Torres will not face disciplinary action - the FA has announced. #SSN

Just as I thought.

[Goemaere 131]

Vertoghen conned against us in that play and strip an Aston Villa's player trying (and failing) to prevent him from scoring. If anything he's showed much less fair play than Torres did, as what Fernando did is more about lack of fair play/respect than violence. The pictures make it much worse than the video does. Fernando touched him for a second - something stupid - but much less unfair and dishonest than taking a player's clothes off and pretending to have been hit in the face.

I can accept if Fernando get a ban (although I disagree) but the FA will have to have some cojones to not do anything about Vertoghen as well

Fernando did is more about lack of fair play/respect than violence.

Today I learned scratching people in the face is lack of fair play

Pulling down pants is violence

U wot m8? Did you even think about the bullshit you just wrote?

Imagine what some of our fans would think of Dennis Wise. If they react like this (passionately putting forward their 'objective' views to seem superior? ) because of a petty scratch, people would be calling for Wise to get the electric chair after every game!

Torres has really done very little. The amount of noise it's generating on this forum is shocking. You support Chelsea so act like it.

This. I've been finding so many ways to put it properly, and you've done it perfectly. kudos.

you're normally on my ignore list because of the amount of shit you say, but as I wasn't logged when I came here, I saw this and I'm bored waiting the match, so why not answer some nonsense, right? I said

"if anything he's showed much less fair play than Torres did, as what Fernando did is more about lack of fair play/respect than violence"

then I said:

"Fernando touched him for a second - something stupid - but much less unfair and dishonest than taking a player's clothes off and pretending to have been hit in the face."

do you know the word 'less' by any chance? I categorized both things as lack of fair play and disrespect. One less than the other, while disregarding Torres' actions as violent. So go learn how to read before trying to sound smart.

Here's what the FA had to say about the matter:

"The FA will take no action against Chelsea’s Fernando Torres in relation to an incident involving Tottenham Hotspur's Jan Vertonghen which occurred in the 50th minute of their match on Saturday 28 September 2013. In these particular circumstances, in line with The FA’s policy on when retrospective action may be taken, reviewed this summer by the game’s stakeholders (the Premier League, the Football League, the Professional Footballers’ Association, the League Managers’ Association, Professional Game Match Officials Limited and the National Game), no action may be taken."

Meaning they didn't think it was violent because well, it wasn't. Now I wonder how some people here thought it was worth a red card... but well, subjective matter is subjective.

You are pissing up the wrong tree, some things and people are better left alone.

you're absolutely right...

blame it on boredom and match anxiety as God help me, I've been awake since 6 and time just doesn't pass

[bushman 2,043]

Well, if I may. Once again I was proven to be correct. Torres had done nothing wrong.

Finally, the FA made the correct decision here.

Since there are so many ex-manures on that board I must say I am a bit surprised.

He did do something wrong actually, but luckily for us, even though Mike Dean did not see the what happned and actually booked Torred for the trip (wtf! he's worse than I thought!) the lino saw the hand but not the scratch so the FA can't do anything about it.

[Sheva. 5,373]

Yay.

The 1st incident was wrong, at least it looks that way. Perhaps, someone was even tinkering with the pictures. At the time, it did not appear to me, he was trying to scratch him. More likely, a tap " don´t do it kid. "

The result is justified, one game ban.

Yeah, the pictures looked worse than than the video, and I think a one match ban is probably fair, but had the lino not seen it, he would have gotten 4 no doubt.
