Brewster coming on for mcgoldrick 64th minute.
Big Picture : that's irrelevant. And to answer your previous post on what constitutes sexism. Sexism is discrimination, it doesn't have to be sexual (I actually agree with your sexual assault in the workplace comments). Take another look and tell me he would have done the same if the AR was male ?
From Benchwarmers :
Aguero could be in trouble here as the referee didn’t seem to pick up on it at the time but it will surely be mentioned after the game as he grabbed the female official by the back of her neck.
The official rules state that he deserves at least a yellow card for the contact but the way he tugs her towards him could be seen or aggressive or controversial which would be a retrospective ban.
Physical contact with match officials
- A yellow card for physical contact with any match official in a non-aggressive manner (e.g. an inquisitive approach to grab the official’s attention).
- A red card for physical contact with match officials in an aggressive or confrontational manner.
I think he tried that approach first didn't he? This was clearly Plan B.
He'll definitely get a ban. I'm not sure I go with the notion that he wouldn't have done it if it was a man, he might have done and it might then have been looked at a bit differently, but to the letter it's contact first and foremost which constitutes action, the nature of the fact that it's a female official and the sheer fact it's the first time at this level that an incident of this nature has cropped up, means the FA will want to set a precedent.
He'll get banned and Pep will blame Liverpool.
He'll get banned and Pep will blame Liverpool.
I agree it's harmless but it's crossing a line in the sand that the FA themselves have drawn. The incident itself isn't a serious incident (although it now seems it wasn't just a hand on the shoulder but he tried to pull her towards him - I actually watched the game but can't remember it in too much detail except that I thought it off at the time) but it's the precedent that needs to be quashed. As I said earlier I believe a retrospective Yellow and a warning would bring to the attention of every footballer that you can not lay a hand on an official in any way or form.

I cannot see those bullets within the laws of the game.

That's likely the wrong section - but I'm damned if I can find the right one without downloading a bloody PDF ! However since the exact words are being quoted by numerous publications now you have to believe they exist somewhere (implemented in 2016 it seems).
It would still be classed as misconduct and that page lists the reasons to book or send off a player or manager/coach. That is the very latest version. I don’t know where benchwarmers got their information but I went straight to the FA.
Fulham one up. Sheffield United are in serious trouble.
As I said I also checked the FAs page but they don't list the chapters unless you download the PDF. I highly doubt they've rescinded that section since 2016 and that everyone (not just Benchwarmers - Google it) are quoting an out of date version. We'll soon find out I guess.
1-1 a pen for Sheffield United. We’d be fuming if that was given against us.
He has just missed a sitter to win it in injury time.
Another game another 1-1 draw. Hopefully foxy has his draw bet today.
Spuds vs Hammers next. Bale on the bench.

He’ll win the sack race.
I mentioned it elsewhere, I don't think we'll win the league, but I honestly don't have any clue who will.
Yup
“Lads, it’s Tottenham”
Fucking Lloris was my replacement for Alison. I may as well have kept him.
