1 - Victor Valdes

[dostoevskij]

Does anybody know when there is the hearing about his possible punishment??

 

[0n0mat0p0eia]

Ive been critical in the past of VV, but i feel that we will realise just how good he really was for us when he goes.

It will probably take quite a bit of money to replace him.

Good luck to him wherever he goes to play.

The decision on how many games Valdes will be suspended after his red card against Madrid on Saturday will be made tomorrow. [catradio]

So it's a 4 match ban for Valdes.

 

[Corb]

Better than expected.

 

[abual3bed1]

Sure thing Corb, I expected a 6-8 matches. So he will miss the games against Deportivo, Rayo, Celta & Mallorca. 3 of them are home games!

4 matches for stating a fact, what next ?. The disciplinary system is a joke !

 

[darthvader7888]

Btw, what happened to Drogba when he did the same thing in 2009?

It's 4 matches for being an idiot. Nobody appointed Valdes the chief of justice. He should've kept his big mouth shut, or at least should have controlled himself enough to not get the second yellow. Iniesta complained, too, but he's not stupid like Valdes to go too far and end up in in the headlines worldwide. What the hell was he thinking? He cannot take matters into his own hands like that, especially when he knows it will harm the club, the team, and possibly their success in the current season, as it was obvious he was going to be suspended. He should be punished by the club, as well. What a moron.

Bad refereeing is a different thing all together. One that's not there for Valdes to take into his hands.

Just remember guys Sergio Ramos got 1 game during the manita game for trying to break Messi's leg then shoving Xavi and Puyol's faces. This was clearly much worst.

I'm not saying that the referee was good, or that refereeing in Spain is good in general. On the contrary, there are a billion examples which make me furious. But this has nothing to do with refereeing, it has to do with Valdes' inability and unwillingness to put the team in front of his temper. Do you think that the rest of our team was not outraged? Sure they were. Did they make fools out of themselves and harm the club because of it? No. Valdes did.

I'm not even that "angry" about him complaining to the ref. What annoys me is that he didn't even consider stopping and pulling back when he got the first yellow. He went on and on and got the red, and didn't even stop then. I'm pretty sure he could have gotten the message across without getting a red and a 4-match ban.

Drogba was banned for six European matches (two suspended) and fined £8,000 by Uefa - but the ban was reduced by a game on appeal.

Tbf to him he got the red in about 2 seconds...

 

[Deco 20]

Btw, for how long was Ballack suspended?
