| Vieira charged by F.A | | Published by: jack 2008-11-19 |
| Can you believe Patrick is up on a misconduct charge following comments made to the match official this really takes the biscuit.There really is one rule for Arsenal and one for everyone else I only hope Arsenal as a club fight this and if that means suing the F.A like sugar did all those years ago then so be it.No other club gets treated like this.
What are your opinions I want to hear any gooners that ar living in England what is the spin on the story there.Also we should e mail the F.A to make our views felt it will do no good but at least it will show that enough people see this as totally unfair.
I really can not believe you people I was just on the
Arsenal World message board and these people at least realise that this stinks.No one there comes out with a statements like fox fury.Perhaps I am too passionate about Arsenal in that I only support one team not a whole list like some people.I have seen the comments on here about how Arsenal will perform this season well if we continue to have unjust decisions made against us we won't.If Arsenal fans are happy with this situation then don't complain and blame Wenger for our poor discipline later in the season.Just because we are continually treated unfairly and badly by the F.A does not mean we should accept it.If we as Arseanl fans do not sing from the same hymn sheet and let the F.A know how we feel you can be sure the tabloid press and sky sports won't.Roy Keane was sent off on Saturday for elbowing Jason McAteer and to their credit the Man Ure fans defend their captain.If our captain ever reads any Arsenal associated web sites I am sure he would like to see people defend him not make him into the enemy.He may feel that he would be better off at another club who would appreciate him and what he offers the team the famous Arsenal trait is we are in it to-gether from the 30's right through to, to-day this included players and fans read the books Fever Pitch ,Addicted,Rock Bottom.Mr.Wright,Safe Hands.Being an Arsenal fan means taking the flak the lucky tag the boring tag but it also means defending our own not helping him to the gallows.I am sure I will get some interesting comments but when you have stood on away terraces and sat in away hovels then you are used to the abuse.
One arguement I will give is that Leeds is a dirty team, on and off the pitch. Alan Smith, for one, runs his mouth more than any player I can think of yet there appears to be limited repercussions. The FA is seldom investigating a Leeds player for words said to an Official. Why? I dont know, I have limited information on the politics of the FA. Chelsea is another and they get away with alot of physical play. I believe it starts with a media outlet and the accusations snowball from there. Arsenal are in that ball.

Just because Wenger blindly defends his players does not mean that he is right. Your last couple of posts have been absolute cobblers. If one of your players commits an offence then he should be punished, period.
As for the FA clamping down on bad language, it seems to me that Vieira has been singled out because of his past reputation for getting into trouble with referees. Firstly, there was ample scope for dealing with this offence, it has been in the rulebook for years that foul and/or abusive languauge is punishable by a yellow card. If the referees have chosen not to implement this rule in the past, it's their own fault that players use industrial language on the pitch and I have no sympathy for them. Secondly, if they did caution everyone who used bad language towards the referee, I doubt there would be anyone left on the field at the end of 90 minutes. As a game cannot continue of a side goes down to less than 7 players, I fear we would have a lot of abandonments! Untitled::

Come now gents, are any of us really that surprised at this?
One would think we'd have grown accustomed to being ************ed by the FA regularly.
I can't get too worked up about this (and I suggest some of you chaps follow my lead) because it's become so commonplace to be singled out and treated harshly that it would be abnormal if we weren't bitch slapped.
What can you expect really from an organization that's run by a turncoat Scotsman?
Adam Crozier, from Hells heart I stab at thee.
The Telegraph says Vieira's the first to get rung up by the new FA rule that punishes players for using bad language towards officials.

Almost every player throws a few F-bombs the referee's way after every call! How do I know, because I can actually read their lips during the close up after a foul. Players tend to be dismissive and abusive to the referees in general. Why single out Viera? Because he had the nerve to question the double yellow! It's the FA's way of saying - never question the referees!
Now I know that Viera tends to throw it about a bit, much less than he used to mind you ie. spitting on people while kicking they're legs from underneath them, but this is getting ridiculous.
At best Viera deserved one Yellow on Sunday from what I saw.
I beg to differ. You shouldn't defend someone just because they wear an Arsenal shirt. Should I say that it was right for Wiltord to stay on even tho I feel he should have been sent off twice on Sunday. I'm not saying fox point fury is right. During the camera shot of Vieira arguing his red, the back of his head is to the camera. It didn't look like he said anything bad when he was shown the first yellow. For the most part he was saying "What is this for" and "I was going for the ball".
I will say if someone has let down the good name of Arsenal however in this instance Patrick is more sinned against than sinner.The only consolation from this is that like 90/91 and last season when we as a team are being treated badly we come back and prove that not only are we good enough to beat other teams but the referees and the F.A. also.George used the hatred of the media and the bias of the F.A to mould to-gether a strong team spirit and I think Arsene is doing the same.You ask me should we blindly defend someone just because they play for Arsenal I will answer that by asking what does Arsene do I will take my lead from him he is not a bad guy to copy.

Spare the pity for someone who deserves it.
The fact that the vast majority of players who break this rule go uncharged does not mean that it isn't a rule anymore. Whether or not he deserved the 2 yellows is irrelevant. He swore at the ref and now the ref's calling him on it. End of story.
I agree that if players are cautiioned for every "f-bomb" than a great number of matches would be abandoned. I see players called for the foul and as they run from the play they curse and argue but they at least give the perception that it is not directed at the official. Paddy walked up to D'Urso put a finger in his face and dropped his "f-bombs" at point blank range. TWICE! He brought entirely too much attention to himself and now the team has to pay.
And the paranoia continues ...

This was Arsenal's first sending off in 24 games also Durso sent off Patrick last yr against Leicester again unwarranted so he at every right to have a go at Durso.I know the rules have changed in that a player can't say anything but itn always seems to be Patrick who gets the rough deal.His record over the past few yrs has been great and yet he is up on a misconduct charge when the whole world knows he should not even have nbeen sent off.I think the FA want their 50 thousand pounds (our suspended fine)and they don't care what they do to get it.This is the same referee who ran away from Man Utd players at old trafford and issued no cards and no disrepute charges brought there really is one rule for Arsenal just like there was in 90/91
After the first yellow you could read Vieiras lips. Expletives galore. At that point I knew D'urso was going to look for any excuse to give a second yellow and he did. Vieira than cussed a streak again. Misconduct charge is unwarranted but surprising? NO

It didn't look like he cursed at all after the first yellow card. After the second, his back was to the camera so you couldn't make out what he said. For all we know he could have asked for a cup of tea(tho I doubt it).
Not surprising in the least. Vieira is a marked man and D'Urso seems to be at the centre of a lot of controversial incidents these days.
We as a team have cleaned up our act and Patrick in particular and still we get a raw deal.
Over the last year and longer we have defended Vieira to a fault. When he "cleaned up his act" he became a better and more influential player, hence the captians arm band. When a player knows or should know that he is a marked man than he should change accordingly. At this point we know that the FA will watch closer therefore we need to be a touch more careful.
No one said this doesnt suck, its more of an "I told you so."
I don't care if ya'll think it is whining or "defending the undefendable" (it's not like I'm defending Roy "I'll elbow you in the head if you piss me off" Keane). Handing down suspensions for "abusive language" is ridiculous. If they are being abusive on the pitch, hand them a yellow for dissent but don't wait until the next day to claim bad language. What I see is a referee that didn't like the post game comments and decided to "get" Viera.
And yes, I think consistency is the key. Want to stop bad language on the pitch, card every single player that drops an F-bomb! Maybe harsh at first but if applied evenly then everyone should get the picture rather quickly.
Language is generally the least of my concerns on the pitch, I'm much more worried about two footed tackles and other thuggery that doesn't get punished unless committed by certain teams! Consistency and clarity is the key to good refereeing!
