Arjen Robben - A disgrace

The FA have begun a "Warren Report' style investigation after it appeared robben was shot by an assassin yesterday at stamford bridge during the game with Liverpool.

"This has all the signs of the Kennedy Assassination" said an FA spokesman today "So we are going to employ the same tactics to solve the mystery.

Initially it was thought a glancing brush to the face by Pepe Reina had floored robben but replays clearly show a second shot must have come from another angle as Robben's head jerks back and his face winces in pain as he drops to the ground.

"We think the shot came from the grassy knoll, a large clump of turf just near the touch line" said the chief investigator. "We have spoken to the linesman though and he said he saw nothing.

Reina remains the chief suspect at the moment although 'ball'istics experts are going to visit stamford bridge today and try to recreate the scene "Our problem is there are several grassy knolls all over the pitch that the shot could have come from, we just don't know where to start" It is hoped that some footage from the mobile phone of Abraham Zapruder, a fan near the scene might shed some light on the whole incident.

The FA remain doubtfull of this being solved, "We hired the same people last year for the assassination of gudjohnsen and they failed to find a second gunman then as well"

It appears that this second assassin has managed a spate of similar acts over the year and so far has remained at large.

Rafa Benitez said "This is rubbish, Robben clearly dived and faked it all" The FA remain unconvinced with this "Rafa is clutching at straws, we believe in our second assassin theory but can't even contemplate what Mr Benitez has suggested." The FA have so far ruled out a lightning strike, an invisible man, a thrown mobile phone, cramp and the player faking.

Reina got the ball, and Gudjohnsen is another cheating twat, got Alonso booked last year so he would miss the return leg in the CL last year.

He tackled him from behind - it's an offence whether he won the ball or not.

Being touched is not an offence,

Raising your hands to another player is an offence - and Reina didn't just touch him, he clearly pushed or lightly struck him. I don't like what Robben did but please don't make out that Reina is completely innocent in all this.

The way I saw it it was a touch not a push as Robben made out. Going so easy to ground over a minor incident like that is trying to get a player off and (no matter who you support) that is against the spirit of the game.

Chelski are on their way to being a great side with great players, they dont need to do this sort of thing.

He didn't go through the back of him to get to the ball, he quite clearly went around the side, a yellow at best.

I thought it was violent conduct - which reina's certainly wasn't.

He got him sent off, that's the point in all this.

I agree - it is against the spirit of the game and Robben was out of order. But you can't raise your hands to an opponent these days and expect to get away with it. The ref said after the match that he'd given Reina a straight red for the nonsense with Robben which I think was too harsh - but it did deserve a yellow card. As did Robben.

Not arguing against the raising of hands...it's Robbens reaction, this level of over acting (cause that's what it plainly was) should also have seen a red card....where's the justice?

He completely poleaxed him! There isn't a single pundit or newspaper report that has suggested otherwise. It was a clumsy goalkeeper's challenge and he deserved to be booked for it.

He raised his hands in a clearly aggressive manner and laid hands on another player. You're in trouble as soon as you do that.

Reina got himself sent off - no reckless challenge on Gudjonsson and no raised hands against Robben and he'd have stayed on the pitch. Don't start making him out to be some kind of martyr. He fucked up, get over it.

He didn't raise his hands in an aggressive manner :rolleyes: - he just patted him on the cheek as if to say 'good little boy' after robben made some remark and robben fell over to get him sent off.

Sorry but that's rubbish. You only need to see the freeze-framed picture on the back of the Mirror today to see that Reina's acting aggressively. The reports I've read have used phrases such as 'weak shove' and 'gentle push' to describe the incident and I agree with them, but it comes back once again to the undeniable fact that Reina raised his hands to an opponent.

but also there is an undeniable fact that Robben is a cheating cunt.

Either that or he is so weak - he makes Stu (I could crush a grape) Francis - look like Rambo.

Personally speaking - I would pay £100 to see Schumacher (ex West German goalkeeper) do his party trick on Robben.
 
I agree with Andy. Robben is a cheating bastard to go down as if poleaxed, but EVERY player should know that if they raise their hands to an opponent, there is a risk of that happening. Similarly, no player should put their face against an opponent's, knowing as they do that there is a risk that the opponent will feign injury from a headbutt that never occurred or never amounted to anything (step forward, Mr R Savage).

I think Robben - on his day - is a cracking player, but even as a Chelsea fan I thought the stunt he pulled yesterday was bang out of order. By the way, I just heard that Liverpool have decided not to appeal the Reina sending-off so make of that what you will.

Well, I've seen it several times on replay and it doesn't look anything aggressive - perhaps it comes out better in a single frame.

Fair enough - we ain't going to agree are we? A bit surprised they aren't appealing it though...

No, I don't think we are, It's a pity Chelsea have to resort to it though, they were the better team yesterday.

The ref changed it to two yellows, so he only misses one game I think. (I'm pretty sure I saw him just flashing a straight red in the match)

I think he deserved a straight red - it's simple - you raise your hands and make contact in an aggressive manner and you're walking.

In that case - Gallas should have been sent off. he raised his hand and made contact in an agressive manner.

Yeah, I thought he got a yellow card for the challenge on Eidur and a straight red for the Robben incident. Two yellows now though apparently.

Let's face it, we can go round the houses like this all day. Some players raise their hands and get punished, others raise their hands and don't. There's nothing so inconsistent in this life than decisions given during a football match. Yes, it's bloody frustrating to be on the receiving end of it but at least it gives us something you have a ruck about. :)
 
If LFC are so aggreived by the situation then why aren't they appealing the card? Because they know he was in the wrong. Them moaning doesn't mean jack unless they're willing to act and feel the card was wrong.

Either appeal or just shut the hell up, because they're just feeding the constant bollocks that the football press like to pass off as important news.

Yes they do. Otherwise they'd lose the tight games they're currently winning.

Unfortunately it's part and parcel of the modern game... I'm only thankful that Liverpool cheat less. I wish they didn't do it at all.... but you can't keep pace with the Chelsea's without.

TBF you can't keep pace with the Chelsea's at all, at the moment!

Got Jose Reina sent off with unbelievable play acting. :mad:

Just seen the replay on the news - Reina grabbed his face but he went down like he'd been shot. I've seen players give each other a friendly slap before and this was even less than that. A cheat in my book.

They're a fucking dirty side and no mistake. :mad:

The club is appealing against the decision.

I hope Robben breaks both of his legs and Essien does the same. :mad:
 
g force said:
So they're appealing now? Soccernet claimed they wouldn't.

That was according to Teamtalk this morning. I've just seen that the club aren't going to appeal.

I can only hope that Chelski will eventually get what's coming to them...and I don't mean the champoinship either.

I thought Liverpool had to get their appeal in before midday today - Football365 and The Guardian are still reporting that they aren't appealing. Has there been an update?

Oh, and wishing such terrible injuries on Robben and Essien makes you look a rather sad, bitter individual. Grow up ffs.

See above.

As for your second point, I shall take that with a tonne of salt. Both of them are filthy cunts - especially Essien, whose speciality is breaking people's legs. Karma, me auld son, karma.

Oh, up yer bum Chelski boy.

Whatever. Enjoy your fight with the Mancs for a hilariously distant second place.
