Fernando Torres

[Liquidator 5,176]

As much as it should have been a 4 game ban because what he did was unacceptable and stupid, it is all swings and roundabouts. Ferdinand basically assulted Torres in the fa cup game at old Trafford and got nothing, Aguero tried to stamp on Luiz in the semi final last year, same result. We were raging when nothing was done about those.

The FA needs to be more consistent with things like this. Scratching an opponent in the face, stamping on a player etc. are totally unacceptable actions and there is no reason they shouldn't be punished.

Scratching was not proved.

Totally right decision by the FA it was nothing.

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.

Don't remember Wisey ever scratching anyone. He was no angel but we're talking about Torres scratching a player here - it's a horrendously pathetic thing to do on a sports pitch.

He's lucky to have avoided a further ban so maybe this is the break that he needs, but people who don't see a problem with this type of thing probably haven't played much in the way of sport in their time.

It was not a scratch though, so I don't know what your getting at. Even so this incident was entirety different and way less malevolent then say a bite or a stomp. The way Vertonghen was playing was pathetic, and he was antagonizing and getting away with murder against Torres.

How many times have we seen Torres get raped out on the pitch by a defender and get zero calls. It's absolutely ridiculous.

Alright!

I'm getting a good vibe from Torres.

I really think we will see a better him this season.

And let's not forget that he keeps scoring goals in high profile game.

With out a doubt number one striker right now.

"Keeps scoring goals in high profile game" is a bit of an overreaction. Come on....

Yeah the FA are never consistent in most things....one manager can rant about one thing.Get away.Another the same..outrage.Same with the stamping etc,sometimes punished sometimes not.Seems to be a case of the mood or something

[The_Flash 1,144]

God we are really going to have to rely on midfielders and defenders getting the goals as the strikers we're have left are so ****

doesnt matter who scores ..2 years ago Manure had a great striker he was called OG

[The_Flash 1,144]

I just hope we get the goals many a season has come down to goal difference.
