Pizy 18,914 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 So will anyone be surprised if he gets retrospectively banned? It's the FA we're talking about here. They'll probably give Diego a 3 game ban and rescind Gabriel's red card knowing them. Also, if José had called the referee incompetent like Wenger did you know he'd be fined. Wenger is damn near untouchable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Well you don't win trophies with a squad of 25 nice, friendly, non aggressive, not willing to step over the line at times players. You need a few provocative bastards in there. Ivanovic, Matic, JT, heck even Ramires and Costa aren't exactly angels. You wont win much with a squad of 25 Mikel Artetas or 25 Joe Allens.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I notice you dont include 'kick' players in Terrys repertoire. Hes kicked plenty, barca player in the back for one, and getting sent off, and he's squared up to plenty, in a very Costa-esque manner.Attackers are more vulnerable to cynical fouls, wind ups, and constant verbals than defenders. Would I prefer it if Costa didnt respond ? Only if the energy was transmitted into scoring goals, but thats his game. Roy Keane would have been mediocre without his aggression, as would John Mcenroe.As long as hes doing the business for Chelsea I dont think Chelsea fans whose sensibilities have been ruffled should kick up a fuss, and condemning him is counter productive. But it would be boring if every player adhered to the same behaviour and likewise if all fans all thought the same.First thing that came to my mind as I read this was JT's ultimate fuck up prior to our triumphant CL finale when he casually and unnecessarily kicked a Barca player and got the red. He's not as rough around the edges as Costa, but he's no angel either.That was literally the ONLY time. It was a one time stupid mistake as he himself would tell you. Correct me if I'm wrong but I genuinely can't remember any other similar incident. That is no way comparable to Costa (I'm actually a bit offended someone would compare JT to him!).It is NOT typical of him or part of his character. Actually the way he did it so naively and blatantly only highlights how out of character it was for him. Whereas Costa does it 'expertly' which for me only makes it worse.As for drawing energy from it, you can draw energy from clean physical competition as Didier used to do. Does anyone really need more motivation than being paid a shit load of money to play a sport he loves?! Belgiannutt and zolayes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henrique 9,133 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I dont care about his behavior as long as he is playing decent fooball. At this moment he is looking really bad. I hope he get a 3 match ban, because it seems its the only way Remy or Falcao will get a proper chance. lionsden and iceboy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesman2610 1,417 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Fine with me, Let him sit and sort his head out while we play Remy into form and Bring Falcao if chasing a game. Not that worried about it he hasn't been setting the league a fire like he was this time last seasonMy only problem with this isn't the FA re-refereeing the game here cause he was booked for his antics and they only retrospectively ban players if the infractions go unpenalized no?

KevinAshburner 1,270 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Didi Hamann @DietmarHamann 5m5 minutes agoI'd give Costa 6 games. 3 for hitting Koscielny in the face and 3 for scratching Paulista. No place for thugs in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clockwork 1,794 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 and yet you are fine with someone being a racist cannibal as long as they are really good at football.Suarez is as much of a racist as John Terry. I will let you decide which is the case.It is 'a game of pussies' though. Same goes for basketball. It's a game of skill and the mind, not so much brawn. In Europe anyway. If you want to see men go at each other, you watch rugby or any kind of form of professional fighting.As for people going on for days, I don't understand how they find the energy, interest and time. The issue became boring when night time came on Saturday but that's just me.I'm just happy it annoys the Specialists in Choking so much.Here is a reverse camera of the incidient. https://streamable.com/qk8p?t=38.1Quite honestly people are focusing on the wrong part of the incident. The actual shove is the least of the issue, but maybe that was a red card offense i dont know. That did not do anything to damage the quality of the game. But the aftermath of the incident it was complete nonsense and damaged the quality of the game. Nobody(i hope) wants to see the childish back and forth between Costa and Gabriel, like kids on the playground. What is worse is the theatrics and the crowding of the ref to get a player sent off. That is cheating. Not sure how that is football or worth watching. Nothing in the incidient showed Costa as a tough or very masculine person. Only immature people could see Costa as tough or his actions as ammusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBlueGuy 1,552 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Hopefully a 5 matches ban otherwise he will not learn like last season against Liverpool. Also he is in his worst form in years anyway and hindering us in attack so no big loss, hope Remy/Falcao bang them in them goals in the next few matches and force this guy to fight for his place once he is back, not fight with other players.Oh and btw I would laugh so hard if someone start a FA vs Chelsea campaign again in this thread. Would be so predictable. lionsden 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MefiX19 1,092 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 As much as i love Diego, I''m happy! Maybe he will go back to reality and find oy that he is not in MMA or somewhere similar. Yeah getting red card for arsenal player is good, but in not that way, if football would use 5th refree to watch replays of those moments, I think he would be sent off and a ban, because hitting the player to face is not allowed.
