    Suspension Tightrope – Cisse, Huth, Givet Away

    Filed under: Suspensions - Posted by: Anorak

    In patriotic fashion, the Saturday palette of games duly started with a red, passed through a flurry of white, and ended with the blue side of Manchester celebrating a 17th successive home league win – but this being a disciplinary round-up, we’re only interested in the first bit of that mélange.

Now into his tenth season in English football, the portly Nigerian has been as much a constant in the goalscoring [...]

    The Suspension Tightrope – Misery Loves Kompany

    Filed under: Suspensions - Posted by: Anorak

    The third round of the FA cup was gearing up to be an exceptionally quiet one for disciplinary matters – until Sunday’s events at the Etihad stadium. Fortunately for this writer, a combination of Vincent Kompany’s two-footed challenge on Nani and Chris Foy’s interpretation of the “tackle”, resulted in a controversial red card and gave [...]

    Suspension Tightrope – Gameweek Twenty

    Filed under: Suspensions - Posted by: Anorak

    The first of the disciplinary elephants was ushered noisily out of the room this week as Liverpool and Luis Suarez accepted both the token fine and lengthy ban as punishment for the Patrice Evra incident. With the other elephant wedged firmly in the corner while the Metropolitan Police continue their investigations into claims against John [...]
