Re: Football Season 2016/2017
Aguero gets his deserved 3 match ban, I'm still baffled as to how they appealed against that!? He has a lot of previous which seems to get overlooked by people, he's quite a dirty player.

Yes it is baffling why they appealed as the elbow was as obvious as night turns to day.

Even as a die hard United fan I wouldn't call Aguero a dirty player, he is a tough little nut but he is no Costa or Suarez that's for sure.

He's not dirty, he's sly though like a lot of players, a complete fanny when someone touches him so its surprising to see him giving one out. Joey Barton gave him a kick up the arse once and he rolled around for 5 minutes like a little girl. Pretty pointless at that point as Barton had already been sent off.
These lads don't know easy they've got it. Send them back to Roy Keane days and give them something to cry about.

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
Roy Keane, compared to Dave Mackay, Keane was a wimp.

It's because Costa is obvious with it, Aguero is sly and leaves his boot in, elbows etc rather than running round like a maniac like Costa does. He probably isn't at the level of Costa or Fellaini because it's not as clear.

Those two are extremes and fortunately rare in the EPL. Aguero is the type of player who is smart and knows how to get away with some fouls quite often to the point of being blatant about it and ends up having a tantrum when caught. A scaled-down version of Costa.

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
We need to make a distinction between, smart, pushing the boundaries play and outright 'dirty' play.
Until that elbow last week I would not say that I have seen any outright dirty play from Aguero but that certainly was.
Some players are smart, some are a bit reckless but only a few are out and out dirty players who fully intend to cause physical harm to opponents.
For my money one of the dirtiest and most cowardly players of the last 30 odd years was Graham Souness, often portrayed as a hard man but most of the time went over the ball or into another players back whilst making sure the ref wasn't looking then quickly moving away.

Paying my first visit of the season to a very wet Boundary Park to hopefully see the Latics taming of the Shrews.

I think you've hit the nail on the head. Though I remember a nice "tackle" on Sideshow Bob at Wembley a few years back. three.jpg

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
They may not let me in again,
Actually given the dreadful weather conditions it wasn't that bad. Good football from both sides, better than one or two games at OT last season for sure. Oldham a little unlucky not to get a point in the end.
