Rio dropped from England squad.

[Sol]

How the fuck can you 'forget' that you have a drug test?

He forgot because he was moving house? So if he took the test would he forget he was moving house?!

He obviously got coked up to the eyeballs after the Arsenal game.

And its good news for England anyway as our biggest defensive liability after Garry Neville will not be there.

[bez]

F.A are a joke, talk about fucking things up at the wrong time.

[Don Seer]

so they really did it.. damn!

but he had a test 36hrs later!


btw the FA fucked up otherwise, because in these case they're not even supposed to 'leak' the names until after they've had their player review or whatever they call it... f-uckin a-rseholes

[OpTiCaL]

Ban news really..

i understand rules is rules but still if he hadnt been clean at the time of the test theres no way he would be completely clean 36 hrs later...


...i know cos we used to have this humilifying thing quite a few times a year



even with system "cleaning" drugs you will still find traces...no matter what they claim


Poor rio, poor england, poor united

[Jay ay Beee]

Rio turned around and started driving back to Carrington straight away when he realised - a fact that the anti-United tabloids have not really gone into

There's no question of him taking drugs

He hasn't/didn't

Defensive liability???

Remind me who attempted a header when the ball was an inch off the ground?
And Ashley Cole has been shown up loads for England.
Gary Neville does get caught out a lot you're right, but Ferdinand is easily England's best defender.

I see Big Gay Sol's disgraceful Shearer like threats got him off as well

The Arsenal control of the FA is a disgrace.

Lol, i knew you would bite on that one.

Sol's punishment is fair imo. For him to be banned would be stupid, he hardly did anything, it definatly wasnt violent conduct and was improper conduct at a push.

And as for the comment of Arsenal control of the FA, that is a joke, have you seen how our players and manager have been treated in the past compared to yours?

Rio didn't turn around at all, thats just Zahavi's bollocks, anyway that nice young lad is banned from driving aint he? Why did he take the test 36 hours later? Was he 36 hours away when he realised? Or was he busy filming himself and Kieron Dyer having another orgy? Upstanding citizen that boy.

Ferdinand is easily England's best defender.

Yeah easily, him and Titus Bramble are in a league of their own.

I see Big Gay Sol's disgraceful Shearer like threats got him off as well

The Arsenal control of the FA is a disgrace.

Remember when Beckham got charged for elbowing Bowyer last season? Me neither. Or when Van Nistelrooy Punched Freddie and he got charged? Me Neither. Or what about when Ruud elbowed legwinski and left him with a black eye? Oh hang on... your argument just fell over.

[bez]

LOL zat this turning into a Man Utd vs. Arsenal argument.  ou guys are too muccccch.

[KURUPTION-81]

rio took the test 36 hours later coz when he called up the f a to say he had missed his test and wanted to return and take it. they said sorry but the testers have left and the next available test is in 36 hours.

Beckham got booked for the elbow.  Which means the FA are not allowed to review it because the ref took action at the time.  The same with Legwinski.  The ref clearly saw it, watched a replay of it after, and correctly judged that Ruud was attempting to get free of Legwinski who was all over him thus not including it in his report - so theFA can't review it.  

Ruud punching Freddie?  Which match?


You need to check out the rules because 2 out of 3 of your examples are definitely not valid.

Rio is banned from driving correct.  He offered to go straight back but the inspectors had gone home.

Remember when Vieira kikced Dacourt in the throat, and headbutted another Leeds player (sorry don't rememba who) in the same game?  That went before the FA - Not even charged.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/man_utd/2261181.stm Read that.

So you can elbow people in the face to 'get free' of them? Come off it.

Ruud punching Freddie?  Which match?

When we won the league in Manchester, dunno if the link still works but:  www.jazz.nildram.co.uk/LjungbergPunch.wmv

Also what about Ruud's flying kick into Lauren in the FA Cup game last year, fucking joke.

Which 2?

The difference is it went before the FA, Man Utd's rarely make it that far.

Man fuck Rio he's excuses are weak, Rio bounced on the test, why? Maybe he had something too hide or maybe he's dumb enough to think nobody would notice.

[Jay ay Beee]

Jesus christ Joachim catch up


"The difference is it went before the FA, Man Utd's rarely make it that far"

I've just pissed all over your examples.

I was wrong about Beckham getting booked, but the free kick was given.  This means that Winter acknowledges he saw the incident, therefore, under FA rules they can't use video evidence to charge him.

I suspect that you haven't seen Ruud's goal of the season for a loong ass time.  Few things I want to point out.  He lifted his arm up, and the point of his elbow was nowhere near his face.  When you elbow someone you throw your arm out (Sol).  Ruud threw his arm up because Legwinski had his shoulder in a vice.  Contact was made with the face and forearm, but this was purely accidental.  Also, watch as Legwinski only starts grabbing his face in pain when he realises Ruud is going to go through on goal.  And as the ref chose not to report this (quite rightly) IT CAN'T GO BEFORE THE FA.

You've shifted your entire argument - from being anti FA, now it's somehow the referee's fault that they don't allow incidents to get to the FA.

Ashley Cole kicked Solskjaer in the charity shield, it didn't go to the FA b/c the ref saw it.  He didn't see Campell kicking Djemba.  Is this getting through to you now?

Where did i blame the refs for anything? Where did you 'piss all over my arguments'?

I aint getting into this any further, you're just dismissing my argument by claiming i don't understand, thats poor from you.  On a sidenote Vieira got a one game ban for the dacourt kick from the FA despite the ref seeing the incident, maybe theres been a rule change.

Im 99.999% sure that a free kick was given for that 'kick' on Dacourt, meaning the ref saw it, yet it still went before the FA.


And RVN getting away with punching Freddie was a disgrace. It is clear as anything on the TV.

I think U guys should set up an Arsenal Vs United Board
