Fernando Torres

[Special Juan 28,094]

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.

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."

Meaning they didn't think it was violent because well, it wasn't.

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

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.

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.

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.
