Danelka 209 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 It doesn't say domestic cups, it says non competitive games. Domestic cups are certainly competitive.I mean, CWC and SC arent English domestic cups, so any ban which a player get in an English competition/match, doesnt apply to non English cups. Like, if you get a ban in the PL, you can still play in the CL, vice versa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Martin Lipton makes a good point/observation about Ivanovic here...http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/the-chelsea-column-on-the-community-shield-only-1258876Chelsea can be thankful Branislav Ivanovic won't be suspended as a result of his reckless lunge and red card, although it might stiffen their resolve to land Spanish right-back Cesar Azpilicueta.In truth, it was a red card that has been coming, too, for the Serbian hardman - and could so easily have been his third in as many games.Television's candid camera caught the assault from behind on Wigan's Shaun Maloney that saw Ivanovic missing three games last season, including the FA Cup Final.When he came back for the 4-1 mauling at Liverpool, he was lucky not to see red again for smashing his elbow into Andy Carroll's chest and the crude and ludicrous nature of Sunday's challenge allowed no real argument - not, in truth, that there was one.Ivanovic seriously needs to calm himself down especially this weekend against Wigan when the referee is the same as the one in last season's 2-1 home win over Wigan. Can't give Mike Jones any chance to redeem himself after what happened back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Just realized something in that Martin Lipton article. Ivanovic did not miss the FA Cup Final. He was suspended for the Fulham, Tottenham and Arsenal games after that only. Was back in time to play against Liverpool in the final.

Kez 2,727 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Yeah ivanovic really needs to start disciplining himself. World class defender but he's letting himself down with poor tackles & needless challenges. He's a really likeable guy so I hope he doesn't ruin his reputation.

didierforever 7,349 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 love this guy but he really needs some anger management classes. played against wigan and was suspended, deserved to be suspended against pool in the 4-1 defeat for elbowing carrol and now a straight red, if this goes on and we may have to buy not just cesar but also a cb because iva gives us that freedom to play with 3 natural cbs in the squad as he is their to fill the shoes of the 4th one.

Milan 17,959 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 After he scored, he raised his hand to gesture something. Was he saying sorry to our fans for the red card? It looks like it's the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naked Mole Rat 437 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Apart from the goal, which was very well taken, he was just terrible today. I'm going to assume he's having some fitness issues since he's been a very consistent performer during his time at Chelsea, but he needs to improve soon. I wonder if he had the same issues in his previous seasons as well. If I remember correctly, he didn't play all that much during the first few games of each of last season and the one before, and instead Bosingwa and Ferreira were preferred to him.

Manuf 1,448 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Little clumsy at the back but great performance in moving the ball to the attack. Should have had another goal but showed his team spirit. When he gets to the match rhytm he'll be destroying them wingers once again.

AndersonBLUE 819 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Moses had the run on him and too many crosses leaked in from that side for my liking. Great foot race for the goal though and well taken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bababoom 4,478 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 He wasn't that bad, i feel certain people are jumping on the 'hate Ivanovic' bandwagon. Luiz had poorer games last season yet no one ever said anything because he's a 'joker'.Oh, and it's funny how a couple of months ago he was one of the best RB's in the league, now people are saying he's too slow, and needs replacing...

People also tend to forget that Cole had help from Bertrand on the left wing while Ivanovic was mostly alone on the right wing. cousin benson and Bosnian Blue 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
