mikeyp102 Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/29921851 Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur have been charged by the Football Association for failing to control their players. It follows an incident during the Premier League match at Villa Park on Sunday - which Tottenham won 2-1. The FA charge (external) alleges that in or around the 66th minute, the clubs failed to ensure their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion. Both clubs have until 18:00 GMT on Monday to respond to the charge. Villa striker Christian Benteke was sent off after he pushed a hand into Spurs midfielder Ryan Mason's face. Television replays appeared to show Mason also pushing his head into the face of Benteke before referee Neil Swarbrick dismissed him. Villa were leading 1-0 at the time of the incident but goals from Nacer Chadli and Harry Kane helped Tottenham come from behind to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 At least the FA are treating this fairly, unlike a certain referee... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post penguin Posted November 5, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted November 5, 2014 Good. Hope that cheating word removed Mason get's a ban for the length of Benteke's. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post rjenkins Posted November 5, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted November 5, 2014 On the one hand, at least both clubs are being charged. On the other, surely the incident came about because Neil Swarbrick lost control of the match? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heid3ster Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 On the one hand, at least both clubs are being charged. On the other, surely the incident came about because Neil Swarbrick lost control of the match? Exactly. If Swarbrick took control and settled down both teams after the Vertongen tackle, the incident in the 66th minute might never have happened. We will never know, of course.

Mantis Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Really there should be a system in place for punishing referees for bad performance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 there is, they drop them down to the championship or dont give them a game at the weekend as slyly as they can possibly get away with, which will obviously do him the world of good and make him a better ref Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodytom Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Absolutely. Both teams behaved poorly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodytom Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Really there should be a system in place for punishing referees for bad performance. He really wasnt that bad. Everything he saw (he didn't see the Benteke/mason incident) he got right, and he got half of that incident right. It's alright blaming the ref, for not having control of the game, when there's about 15 spoilt gobshites making his job more difficult than it already is.

CanVillan Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 It's amazing how the referees are the only one's who are unacountable. Yet they have the most influence on the game. Surely this must change. We need more transparency with the officials. It's like some secret society, you know? Like the Bilderberg group or FIFA.

Jimzk5 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 No chance mason will come out of this with a ban, he would need to be charged separately for that, its a collective charge where both teams will say sort and get a fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your in a very small minority there woody. the ref was very biased to spurs. they could have had three players off but not one of them went. he completely ignored the mason incident not even a booking for him. pathetic. good i hope they get a few of their players banned, that ref was shockingly bad. lambert should have complained Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingman Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Retrospectively there guy should be charged with a deliberate headbutt that can only go down as being missed by ALL the officials at the time… Simple as that really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 What that he didn't see it or, he got right everything he did see?

ClaretVilla Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 I know a few people are blaming the Ref for the defeat but he was equally bad for both teams. You cant blame him for the incompetence of our manager either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
