Van Bommel suspended for 'violation of his probation'

Ok, first of all...I don't care if you like the guy or if you hate his guts. This is solely about the decision by Uefa.

And it is a fucking joke.

After the Madrid gesture he was on probation. That meant that he couldn't do anything like that again or he would be suspended for a game.

Now they're saying he violated his probation by getting that ridiculous red card with Diarra. Meaning: He's out for both matches against Milan.

The problem: This is completely different! It was never once said that he would get the extra-punishment for whatever cards he accumulates in the matches, but only if he repeats that type of behavior towards the fans.

So, again. If you want to spew anti-Bayern, anti-Dutch or anti-Van Bommel hatred, go somewhere else.

Somebody has to stop the Uefa. They can't just pull suspensions out of their magic hat. If they want to throw suspensions around they should take a good look at Valencia-Inter. If they wanted to they could probably find enough to suspend 20 players.

I actually agree with you.

This really reminds me of the Frings incident at the WC last year. It makes you think, doesn't it? This always seems to happen when playing against an Italian team.

First they get unrelegated and put back in the CL. And now one of our key players - whose job would've been to help contain Kaka - is suspended for nonsense.

Some things just make you wonder.

Hargreaves should be able to deal with Kaka, if he is back to his normal form at least, but this is a huge blow indeed.

I refuse to believe it.

It's *insane*

It's "Double-Standards-UEFA" again :

Feyenoord getting suspended for trouble in France, the same happens with Manchester United : they didn't even *think* about suspending them.

How about comparing what MVB did with what happened at Inter - Valencia ?!

If Valencia didn't come from one of the big three leagues they would have been suspended for sure.

outrageous

would never have happened to an EPL/Seria A player

will Hargreaves be fully fit for the games ?

What is the UEFA doing on the rioting teams like Valencia, Manchester United, Lille and Inter....?

Are they get banned as well?

This really pisses me off. There´s something really wrong with these UEFA rulings.

Nancy-Feyenoord. Feyenoord get banned for something that's absolutely not their fault; in fact they did their best to avoid it. Feyenoord get fine, then UEFA decide to ban them. Nancy, and their authorities are not implyfied and escape consequences.

Lille-United. Bad stadium control, too many people, false tickets, hooligans etc. Then the police launch tear gas in the stands ---> people nearly die.
Consequences: NONE. NOT EVEN ACKNOWLEDGED IN THE PRESS. UEFA AND PLATINI SWEEP IT UNDER RUG AND PRETEND IT NEVER HAPPENED.

Marseille-Lyon. Crowd troubles again. French AGAIN! Platini boldly announces that the troublemakers are Dutch. And is going after them. The stadium and the authorities don't have any blame. Some of the trouble makers were Utrecht hooligans, but Utrechjt let Marseille know. Marseille did f*ck all with the information.

Inter-Valencia. Major brawl. gets completely out of control on the pitch and in the dressing rooms. A miracle the crowd didn't join in.
Reminded people of Turkey-Switzerland WC06 qualifying rumble: in which Turkey was punished (but not severe enough), and Swiss were angels.


See a pattern!?


For fuck sakes!

Hargreaves actually played well against us on Sunday, made life pretty hard for Diego.

It'll be more difficult without Van Bommel for sure, but Bayern are constantly improving, and their first half against us was truly impressive. They have a chance regardless.

Van Bommel and Bayern should appeal. And win.

Let Der Kaiser flex his muscles.

Yes, they should indeed. This is really ridiculous.

THe Dutch and Germans voted for Johansson so I am afraid they won't listen to us anymore...

Know what your talking about there Ricardo or trying to be controversial again.

They better do, the DFB still is the richest and most powerful sports organisation in the world. Wish they used their influence when it really matters though, and when it's justified.

I think for United to get a small fine for too many people in the rows, but the brunt of justice should be solely on Lille and no-one else.

As good a time to apply that power. And fully justified of course.

This is ridiculous.

Rummenigge says that they won't accept this sentence, and will appeal.

Way to go! I don't see how they could uphold this nonsense decision. This is not Guantanamo.

No. I fielded questions of Italian integrity all last summer.

i think it is wrong by uefa bu seeing who it happened to i couldnt care less and to be honest i hope he does miss both games.

Its doing Bayern a favour isn't it ?

He's a very poor player.

I do think its out of order though and it will be better for Milan if he plays otherwise it will be a tainted victory.

not really since i thought he was really poor in both legs against and im not sure he has really been an succes at bayern.

He isn't the most creative or techninally gifted player but he is good. Quite similar to lampard interms of the way they time their runs into the box.

They both play well for their clubs but when they play for the national team they are SHITE....

He was the one making the forward runs so perhaps Demi will play with Hargreaves playing in a more attacking role

thats a bad news, we`ve got a huge lack in the central midfield of quality players, and now without van bommel in both games MILAN is my favourtie
