Off the ball unseen incident apparantly.

Apparently Marriner didn't see it.
Why am I not surprised?
I know Sergio put himself on offer with a silly reaction but I am getting a bit cheesed off with the continued description that he "elbowed" Winston Reid. His elbow didn't make any contact with Reid but it seems a myth is building.

One rule for Wayne Rugney or Elbows Fellaini and the rest of football. Stinks of corruption.

I say establish extent of the calf injury first. If out for a month, appeal.

Deploy a false number 9. A cunning plan.

Mariner was 5 Metres away and looking straight at them.

Even appealing in this case would be dealt with before the rags game and could be extended under the new rules, so let's take it and move on, because the rags will relax if they think we are a one man team

This is what hacks me off....
"Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero has been charged with violent conduct by the Football Association for elbowing West Ham's Winston Reid."
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/37217071
He did NOT elbow Reid. That he was silly and struck out at the player who was manhandling him cannot really be disputed? But he did not elbow the Reid - the contact appears to have been with his hand but the constant repetition of this myth by the media drives me nuts.
He has been charged with violent conduct and the more accurate description would be that he struck Reid but no, it is easier to go with the allegation that he struck him with his elbow which clearly, evidently and patently not the case. :017:

I am with you Buzz and so it appears was Pep - there will be little mileage in appealing so we get on with life and make do without him. We have done it before and there are plenty of other players in our squad capable of stepping up and scoring - Iheanacho would be a handful and a surprise package for sure

VIOLENT CONDUCT
Violent conduct is when a player uses or attempts to use excessive force or brutality against an opponent when not challenging for the ball, or against a team-mate, team official, match official, spectator or any other person, regardless of whether contact is made.
In addition, a player who, when not challenging for the ball, deliberately strikes an opponent or any other person on the head or face with the hand or arm, is guilty of violent conduct unless the force used was negligible.

Intent is not actually included in the definition of violent conduct.
But it makes little odds IMO as based on this definition unless they plead that it was not deliberate or that the impact was negligible (& given Reid's discomfort that seems unlikely to fly) then he will be found guilty.
Mind you.....I thought he was challenging for the ball at the time of the incident.
