Christ on a bike, how sensitive can some people be, and it was probably someone mouthing off to van Persie all game long.

Eduardo's ban for diving has been withdrawn. The right decision, finally.

Eduardo's two match ban has been overturned.

Great stuff UEFA



Apparently Michel Platini argued his corner.

I think what you will find is that the complaint is a direct response to the complaints about Adebayor.



I'm pretty damned sure that if it had not been for this whole thing blowing up, about Adebayor's celebration and Van Persie's allegations, the person in question would not have made a complaint.



It's a very poor attempt at revenge.

[iThe UEFA Appeals Body today accepted the appeal lodged by Arsenal FC against the two-match suspension handed to striker Eduardo.



Following examination of all the evidence, notably the declarations of both the referee and the referees' assessor, as well as the various video footage, it was not established to the panel's satisfaction that the referee had been deceived in taking his decision on the penalty.



Therefore, the decision of the UEFA Control and Disciplinary Body of 1 September, in which the player was suspended for two UEFA club competition matches, is annulled. [/i



Right decision. Bull5hit explanation.



He dived. No doubt about it. The reason the ban shouldn't have stood is because it was completely out of line with the punishment from the ref. It's nonsense to ban someone for 2 games when the punishment if the ref saw it would've been a yellow card.



UEFA = Completely incompetent.

Nail on head.

But wasn't it because of Platini's hate of England/English football/The Premier League that got him banned in the first place?

Twas merely a wind up in honour of some of or more europhobic posters.

Eduardo let off, Arsenal making out that it actually was a penalty

I think we all know that regardless of contact, Eduardo would have ended up on the ground and the contact made wasn't enough for him to even feel, let alone for him to act like he'd been snipered.



The ban was wrong but if Arsenal fans claim he didn't dive like Wenger did, then it just shows you how deluded they really are.

I don't know what it was mate, but I never got the tickets, my mate did and he was asking me for money for something to get tickets, I'm completely broke at the mo and he said if I can't go the first game, we won't be able to get to the rest, so I told him to just write off the year.
