Yes. Nuno has also been charged with abusive language, whereas Fab has been charged solely with improper conductIs it a lesser charge?
In as far as no accusation of foul or abusive language I think. Lovely double standards, as previously discussed, given certain other managers behaviour at the weekend and previously. It does seem, as with RDZ last season, that we are seen as an easy target.Is it a lesser charge?
Didn't he walk on to the pitch or something?So Fab didn’t use foul/abusive language & didn’t physically hurt anyone, so got sent off for what? Waving his arms?
He’ll wear it like a badge I suspect - so yes, no biggie.Anyway, if he gets banned for a game or two... its not a big thing. If not 90% of your job is already done by the game starts, you're f***ed anyway. Was never a problem when Potter was MIA and never with RDZ either, it still was what it was, with our big balls and spaghetti football. Anyone could clown around on the sideline for a week or two, no biggie.
If I were the club I'd appeal it and I'd use any video of any Arsenal match in the last 24 months as exhibit ASo Arteta can spend almost entire games outside his technical area parading down the touchline and nothing happens, but Hurzeler steps a yard on to the pitch to talk to one of his players when the ball is dead and has the book thrown at him?
It’s the context and timing though - he did it when it was all kicking off.So Arteta can spend almost entire games outside his technical area parading down the touchline and nothing happens, but Hurzeler steps a yard on to the pitch to talk to one of his players when the ball is dead and has the book thrown at him?
Our players were screaming for a red and their players were angry as f*** and... you know, there's a certain pressure to not letting Brighton go "unscathered" out of the thing where Nottingham got two people (MGW and Nuno) sent off.
Childish I know but I'd like them to appeal taking with them a 2 hour video of Arteta encroaching, moaning at the ref constantly and inflaming every situation and getting no punishment and then when the panel think it's over, bring out another one with Pep going bananas and again receiving no punishment and then, when they get up to leave bring PBOBE in to deliver the final sermon.Was it forest who had a "referee consultant" person (can't remember who it was) last season? Due to their utter conviction that they were being treated so appallingly by the refereeing mafia? And has this had a subconscious effect on refs, causing a certain reluctance to do anything that might be interpreted at "victimisation" or "big team bias" with the inevitable ensuing whining and whinging? Is this why Saturday's ref initially didn't book their player, and only did so after the 4th official intervened? And why Fab was booked for standing in the wrong place and getting a bit annoyed? Have our club moaned about the red card? I don't know, but I hope not. It might not be "fair", but at the end of the day maybe it would just be a bit more dignified to accept what it is and move on. I wouldn't like us to become one of those whiny clubs.
Any Prem manager who walks onto the pitch will get a red card. The dictate from the PGMOL suits'. Shame it's only happened to Fabian. As it was their player sent off, naively can't think of a reason why he should use foul language to the ref ? Talking of whom, I hope his assessor noted how crap he was !So Arteta can spend almost entire games outside his technical area parading down the touchline and nothing happens, but Hurzeler steps a yard on to the pitch to talk to one of his players when the ball is dead and has the book thrown at him?

Unfortunately I missed that bit (I think) ..but he certainly took his time pissing off down the tunnelNuno 'alleged to have used abusive language' Going to be hard to argue against the shot of him clearly, repeatedly calling the ref a f'ing c u next Tuesday.
