Shame !!

I hope that Man City can sort out Carlos Tevez once and for all. All those excuses he's made about missing his family and wanting to be near them is a load of b*££****. Last year he was moaning about the same thing and City gave him a week's compassionate leave to help him see his family and what did he do?
He had a week's holiday in Tenerife with his girlfriend. That says a lot about the guy! :o
-
Five years in the country playing for West Ham, United and City; never bothered to learn any English and still needs an interpreter. A real football mercenary and is the prime example of everything that is wrong with modern football and their obscene wages.
-
If Carlos Tevez doesn't want to play in Europe perhaps he should have signed for Liverpool.
-
That's not very nice Bri :o but we'll be back soon. $good$
-
A very diplomatic response Hugo. I'll go a bit stronger------bl---dy Everton supporter having a laugh!!
-
It's worse than that Ormegolf, I'm thinking Bri's been eating his Prawn sandwiches at another ground! :roll:
I suppose licking the "Toffees" 2-0 on their own ground is a step in the right direction though. &well&
-
Hugo, had the toffees been allowed to play with 11 men then the result may have been completely different. *&(
-
Bri, they should have been playing with 9 men because Cahill should have gone too and then we'd have scored a lot more. $yes$
-
Hugo, we shall have to wait and see if the FA agree with you.
Everton have lodged an appeal with the Football Association against Jack Rodwell's sending off in Saturday's Merseyside derby defeat by Liverpool.
The 20-year-old midfielder was shown a straight red card by referee Martin Atkinson for his first-half tackle on Luis Suarez.
After the game Everton manager David Moyes said Atkinson's decision was wrong and that it "ruined the game".
Rodwell faces a three-match ban if Everton's appeal is not successful.
Chief executive Robert Elstone said: "Following a review of the video evidence we believe the decision to be wrong and we will be contacting the FA requesting that the red card is rescinded."
If Rodwell does serve a ban he would miss the Premier League and Carling Cup games against Chelsea and the trip to Fulham later this month.

bri,s forget tevez ,he did it at west ham /man u fergie would have kept him but he knew , as for the dearby they want players/fans to show respect that ref was,nt even a joke ,on the way to the ground we heard when ref was name the betting went from 10 /1 to 4/1 on a send off it was only last week kenny was moanin about the refs and this week ,i see nothing hu , anyway hugo thought you were a manc fan lol.
-
Hugo may be right, you just don't know.
Anyway, norman08, this afternoon's decision by the FA certainly takes the shine off Liverpool's success last Saturday, don't you think?
Everton's Jack Rodwell wins appeal over red card
Rodwell was shown a straight red card for his tackle on Luis Suarez Everton midfielder Jack Rodwell has won his appeal against the red card shown to him against Liverpool on Saturday.
Rodwell was sent off by referee Martin Atkinson 23 minutes into the Merseyside derby for a challenge on Luis Suarez.
The decision infuriated Everton boss David Moyes as his side went on to lose 2-0 at Goodison Park.
The Football Association (FA) decided to withdraw the suspension and Rodwell will now be available for Everton's next three domestic fixtures.
The Toffees face Chelsea on 15 October, Fulham on 23 October and Chelsea in the Carling Cup on 26 October.
Rodwell had originally received a red card for serious foul play for his tackle on Reds striker Suarez.
After the match, Toffees boss David Moyes expressed his shock at Atkinson's decision.
"I thought it ruined the game," said the Scot.
"I would have been disappointed if it had been a free-kick. I don't think anyone in this world thought it was a sending off."
Everton's chief executive Robert Elstone welcomed the overturning of Rodwell's red card but said it meant little in the wake of a defeat.
"Whilst we welcome the correct decision the FA panel has reached, it's of course an outcome which will provide little consolation whatsoever to the 37,000 Evertonians packed into Goodison on Saturday to watch the 2-0 defeat," he commented.

Norman08, you are right about Tevez, the guy is just a mercenary and in it just for the money. There's a few more like him around unfortunately and the Bosman ruling has helped to create it. Man City though are one of only a few clubs that he can't hold to ransom so I hope that they don't make it too easy for him.
I was a Man Utd supporter in my younger days but changed my allegiance when I saw what they were doing to their own supporters and then supported the great Leeds Utd team of the 1970's nowadays I support three teams including Liverpool and Arsenal.
Bri, I'm only winding you up. It wasn't a red card tackle as events have proved and the ref Atkinson should be banned from refereeing for an indefinite period. He was so inconsistent throughout and as I've said before Cahill's tackle was much worse. It spoilt the game as Everton reverted to clogging to try and stop Liverpool from playing football. The result would probably have been the same even if Everton had 11 players but we'll never know for sure.
I'm sure that there were rumour's about you eating Prawn sandwiches at a ground further down the East Lancs road ???
-
Hugo, I have never eaten a prawn sandwich in my life but you may be correct with your guess where I have owned a season ticket for the past 25 years although I cannot afford to use it myself these days. ¢¢##
You have supported Man Utd, Leeds Utd, Liverpool and Arsenal. $good$
Have you not considered supporting Man City and Chelsea for a full house?
-
don't be silly bri he,s seen the light and started to support the best team in the northern hemesphere
-
That's exactly what happened Snowcap. I'd supported Man Utd from the day they signed Tommy Taylor from Barnsley but one day I went with a group of Liverpool supporters to Elland Road and watched a great game which Leeds won 2-1 I was then converted to being a Leeds fan.
To be honest I was sick and tired of seeing about 20,000 Utd fans getting soaked week in week out at the scoreboard end because it wasn't under cover then. Apart from that Utd had a poor ageing side that they didn't replace and they seemed reluctant to purchase top names that wanted to go to Old Trafford. Alan Ball {Blackpool) Mike England and Alan Clarke to name just three. I don't know why they weren't signed or if Utd had a policy of only having Catholic players, I'm not really sure.
The Liverpool support came in the late 80's and Arsenal since they had Dennis Bergkamp.
As for City and Chelsea no, even if they win the league this year!

Man City striker Carlos Tevez misinterpreted over 'refusal' to play
Carlos Tevez was mistranslated in an interview that contributed to him being suspended by Manchester City, claims his advisor Kia Joorabchian.
The Argentine striker was banned for two weeks after allegedly refusing to come on as a substitute in City's 2-0 defeat at Bayern Munich.
After the match a club translator quoted Tevez as saying: "I didn't feel right to play so I didn't."
But Joorabchian insisted that "the interpretation was incorrect".
Joorabchian says Tevez's lack of English has contributed to a misunderstanding Carlos Tevez was mistranslated in an interview that contributed to him being suspended by Manchester City, claims his advisor Kia Joorabchian.
Carlos does speak English but his English his not good enough to host a full-blown interview
He reiterated that Tevez refused only to warm up and added: "He feels he has been judged and condemned before the case has really been looked in to."
Tevez met City officials on Monday as part of an investigation into the incident before flying to Buenos Aires.
He is expected back at training next Wednesday, 12 October.
The 27-year-old blamed "confusion on the bench" for the "misunderstanding" in Germany and felt there was no reason why he should apologise to City manager Roberto Mancini.
Speaking at the Leaders in Football conference, Joorabchian suggested language problems might have been to blame in the post-match interview.
"Carlos does speak English but his English his not good enough to host a full-blown interview," stated the Iranian-born businessman.
It is damaging to Man City, to their manager and to Carlos Tevez
Former Man City manager Mark Hughes
"I listened to the questions in English and the interpretations in Spanish. Both questions were interpreted incorrectly and both answers of Carlos were then misinterpreted."
Tevez was signed by then City manager Mark Hughes in the summer of 2009 and has since scored 53 goals in 91 appearances.
In May, he captained the club to the FA Cup with a 1-0 victory over Stoke in the final at Wembley, their first major trophy in 35 years.
However, he has also twice asked for a transfer away from Eastlands and looked set to get his wish before a proposed £40m move to Brazilian side Corinthians fell through.
He has made five appearances for City this season but only two starts and is yet to score.
Hughes - who is also represented by Joorabchian - struggles to see a way for Tevez to return to the City side.
Hughes told BBC Sport: "I think it would be very, very difficult [for Tevez to return].
"The assumption is that Carlos refused to come on to the field of play. Let's hope it is [clarified in the next few days] - one way or the other - because it's damaging to Man City, to their manager and to Carlos Tevez.
"A lot of things were said but there are not too many options [for him] if things are proved to be correct.
"It's a shame because we don't want top players to leave the Premier League, but if it's borne out that the things suggested are correct, it will be very hard to see any other outcome."
However Joorabchian believes Tevez has always acted professionally and is keen to play football.
TEVEZ IN ENGLAND
Jul 2009 - present Man City: 91 appearances, 53 goals
Aug 2007 - Jul 2009 Man Utd: 97 appearances, 34 goals
Aug 2006 - Aug 2007 West Ham: 29 appearances, 7 goals
"You can criticise Carlos for anything but one thing you can't criticise him for is his commitment when he's on the pitch and you can never criticise him for wanting to play," Joorabchian added.
"There have been several times at Manchester City throughout his two-year career where he is taking injections, playing with swollen ankles, where he has played in situations when maybe even doctors have told him not to play.
"My opinion is that Carlos throughout his career has been one that fights to play. If there is any issues it's because he's always so eager to play.
"You have to remember Carlos joined Manchester City when he had an official offer from Real Madrid and Manchester United on the table.
"He was one of the first players to join Manchester City's new vision. It's a great vision and Carlos was brought in to help start that vision.
"So he feels very differently towards the club, he has a very intense feeling."
-
he does.nt mind taking his £2ooo,ooo A WEEK basic wage plus add onns, no denying hes a class player ,fergie new he was baggage otherwise he would have kept him ,
-
Whilst I entirely agree with your sentiments, norman08, I do think an extra nought has found its way into the weekly wage you have quoted. :-}}}
-
ha ha oops noticed that Bri still a bit more than my nhs pay lol and tevez is not the only one
-
Just what does Tevez really want? If it's trophies etc he had them at Man Utd if it's money then he's got it at Man City and possible trophies.
Good result on Sunday for Man City too!
Man Utd 1 Man City 6 $good$
-
Seems daft to me when two clubs from the same town play each other! When I supported Barking (as a very young lad), the town only had one team so you knew where you were! :D
-
Please keep to the topic, Hugo. $angry1$
-
Sorry Bri, I got carried away. ;D
Been watching the recording of the game again this afternoon. D)
-
so yorkie, were you barking mad when you were a young boy? lol

That's an old comment and if you search you will find that it was first used on this Forum months and months ago!
In fact in 2010.
As an aside I led a dog's life and lifted my leg to pee up lamposts. :D
-
I see that Tevez is in trouble again with Man City as he has gone AWOL to Argentina to see his family there. I thought that he said that his family were coming to Manchester but that must be another of his porkies.
He's crackers, I wouldn't mind just sitting in the stand and getting 200K per week watching City beating teams 6-1
-
Hugo, have you considered City are not playing this weekend and Argentina have World Cup qualifiers against Bolivia tonight and Colombia next Tuesday?
Also, Tevez has not gone to see his family out there as his family flew out with him.
.
He is certainly making a mockery of City but it does not appear to be affecting their performance on the pitch yet.
-
The fact that City are not playing this Saturday is irrelevant Bri and as he has not been selected to play for Argentina either then there was no need for him to fly over to Argentina.
The thing is Tevez is not fit at the moment and he should have been training at City but he has gone over there without permission and is therefore in breach of his contract.
What he has done is indefensible and I hope he pays for it when he comes back. On his day though, Tevez is a great asset and if he had been playing at Old Trafford the other week then City could well have had a goal tally in double figures.
-
No doubt, Hugo, you will be pleased he won't be playing against Liverpool later this month.
-
Yes and I wish a few more of City's team weren't playing too! :roll:
-
Carlos Tevez is at it again, apparently he is claiming that he is depressed and that is the reason why he is unable to fly back to Manchester from Argentina. He even has a Doctor's certificate to say so, poor mite.
I wonder if he would be back if he was receiving only SSP and not those over inflated wages.
-
Maybe spending Xmas with his loved ones may make him feel better in time, Hugo, for next transfer window. ;)
-
Carlos Tevez is in the headlines again but this time it'd because Man City has revealed for the first time the extraordinary financial penalties imposed on Tevez.
Apparently Tevez's ongoing mutiny has cost him a staggering £9.3 m in fines,docked wages and sacrificed loyalty bonus. It serves him right and I hope that City don't go back on their action.
-
Good move then by Sir Alex not to have apparently been to eager to offer him a new contract - seemed a bit strange at the time but subsequent events have proved the point.
-
Does't that highlight the ridiculous payments these players receive, just for kicking a ball around a field. The world is going to Hell in a handcart ! &shake&

Which part of Manchester is he from?
