I see Mcmanaman has escaped disciplinary action...disgrace IMO. Should have been banned for 3 games atleast.

 

Has to rank amongst the shoddiest FA decisions ever, up there with appointing Steve McClaren in '06.

Appalling.

 

This just confirms the present rules are hopeless. It is confirmed that one official saw the incident, so no action can be taken.

 

So if the only official witnessing an incident sees it but is too far away to judge it, how on earth can you justify not having a proper video review after?

Yes indeed.

 

A great response from Newcastle managing director Derek Llambias:

Worse still, they have charged John Carver.

 

As always, an absolute farce.

Gotta laugh really. Football in this country is close to death and has been for a while. It's meant to be the national sport, but is falling further and further behind other sports such as Tennis, Cricket and Rugby whose governing bodies value fair play and respect over money.

 

I would have loved to have seen what they would have done if it had been a foreign player going through someone like Jack Wilshere. Doubt they'd have brushed it under the carpet then.
