I worked with a bloke called Dick Cox, seriously.
I worked with a Dick Golden, emails with surname first made me chuckle
I worked with a bloke called Dick Cox, seriously.
I just saw this "new" replay. Indeed it was a clean tackle -- Bent *just* nicked the ball.
Also, I felt that Koulibaly fouled Deki in the buildup to their second -- he barged him to ground. Shoulda been a Spurs freekick.
Kane etc didn’t get yellows for jumping in the crowd, did they? It was a very unfussy reffing job- I wonder what his assessment was from his peers, away from all the media and fans.Should also be noted that James jumped into the crowd after scoring which should be an auto yellow. Also while Romero was lucky to not have gotten booked (pulling hair isn't categorized as violent conduct rather unsporting), the idea that a foul in some earlier phase of play (which var passed on adjudicating) is material to a later one is absurd victimhood porn. Every game there are countless fouls misjudged in earlier phases of play and whose to say what follows is therefore meaningful (I mean for sure the James sending off would have had a big impact but in general it's a pathetic petition and reflection of their fanbase...enjoying the stewing impotence very much. Loving Contes dignified silence.
Why would you think forcefully pulling someone's hair would not be violent conduct?. Also while Romero was lucky to not have gotten booked (pulling hair isn't categorized as violent conduct rather unsporting),
Tuchels reads like it was from a school child.Resolution of Improper Conduct charge:
In Conte's letter, he wrote: "I would first like to apologise to the Commission for the events that happened after the game against Chelsea on Sunday which is not something I like being associated with, or seeing on a football field. For this reason I have therefore admitted the charge of improper conduct.
"The referee blew the final whistle, I wanted to congratulate my players and acknowledge the away fans, as well as the home fans who I still hold with great affection after my time managing the club…so not to create any further unease between us I wanted to quickly shake hands and move on.
"I extended my hand towards him with the intention of briefly shaking his, however he grabbed my hand and did not release his grip. Due to his very firm grip my arm jarred causing me to be pulled backwards. I was both surprised and unhappy that such handshake caused me to be pulled back with such physical force. I did not over-react to this provocation and with the circumstances was proud of how I handled myself. Had I made any reaction then I understand the situation would have been much worse."
Tuchel's letter stated: "At the end of the match I approached Mr Conte to shake his hand as an act of sportsmanship. Mr Conte took my hand but did not look at me and I considered his demeanour to be a sign of disrespect towards me. I therefore held on to his hand as he walked past me and told him to look me in the eyes when he shakes my hand.
"Mr Conte replied in Italian and acted very aggressively towards me. I did not react to his aggression and did not say anything insulting to him. I acknowledge that I could and should have dealt with Mr Conte’s conduct towards me in a more appropriate manner (for example, by speaking to him privately afterwards). I apologise to The FA and to the Regulatory Commission, for having to bring and consider the charge."
