No action against Lukaku

[Rammy Blue]

The only line on the Sky Sports story says the panel “couldn’t agree an offence took place”.

I’d like to see their statement as surely they have to issue one?

Having actually seen the video now i'm pretty shocked he's gotten away with that. The injustice is infuriating but i'm also not bothered about him not being banned as i think United would benefit if Mourinho had the guts to drop him. Similar thing happened last season with Rooney who didn't lose his place his place until he got a ban.

 

[Manchester_lalala]

Pisses me off looking at that. He resembles the game buckaroo, body parts flying everywhere. The fa is bent, three big games for united coming up and they don’t ban him.

 

[Hoghead]

Provided that hasn't been doctored, its a f**** disgrace.

 

[BerkshireBlue]

I they want to be transparent which the government has told them they must be then they need to release the panel list and what reason they have for voting the way they did. Like someone said this is as nailed on violent conduct so how can an ex referee see otherwise is beyond corrupt.

Totally agree with this, with Lukaku available and Ibrahimovic taking what he wants it will cause hassle. Silver linings and all that.

I could write it.

"When put to the panel of three former referees, the panel were not unanimous that this was a case of violent conduct. In view of this, no further action will be taken."

There!

yes I kind of see the point but when the system is this broke then things have to change

Good grief, no.
There would be balaclava boys round their houses at every decision.

At most, a list from whom it was drawn released annually.

Not a level playing field for the other teams.

There!

The question is has Lukaku tried to kick an opponent if the answer is yes then an offence has taken place. Simple really and if they answer no to that then they should be made accountable for it.

 

[BerkshireBlue]

I've said it before but this panel should be made up of international referees who haven't dealt with any of the clubs before

 

[BlueHammer85]

Laughable that a panel could look at that and not deem it violent conduct.

First time I’ve seen it and I’m the most unbiased towards Man Utd. Based on that clip, that is pure violent behaviour and a punishment has to be served.
Beckham lash out against Argentina was no where near that bad and he got a red and was annihilated by press and the fans.

 

[Rammyblues]

The FA are bent and corrupt everyone knows except rags.

 

[manimanc]

Kicked out with both feet and missed , oddly enough he does the same with a football.

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

SWP got a retrospective 3 match ban for a little flick at Rory Delap with his foot, after Delap had clattered him and had himself received a red card. SWP was lying prone, face-down at the time so really couldn’t get any force in the kick. It was the very definition of petulant rather than violent.

 

[BlueAnorak]

System needs to change to a majority 3 out of 5 on the panel not a unanimous 3 out of 3. More importantly why are ex players even on the panel?

There!

Well thats the Precedent set! if 3 referees can’t see that’s a ban, if any other player an important player of a club that this player will miss a very important game does Similar and gets a 3 game ban can that club take legal action or is it that’s that no come back.

Rojo and Fellaini last season, Lukaku this. Won't be the last, mark my words. They've got too many poor tempers and self entitled opinions in that dressing room, starting at the top with the moaning one, and not enough discipline to keep it controlled in a season when they will hopefully remain playing anti-football to attempt to catch up to an exciting footballing side, whilst being overtaken by others who prefer a pass to a push, elbow or stamp.

I hope if anything it brings to the forefront for fans of all clubs to see, the preferential treatment the rags get. That, in combination with the complete contrast in football styles happening right now, is worth more than a ban longer term for our own ambitions.

I always hoped that we'd turn things around to be the superior team in Manchester and nearby boroughs and cement that, but if as part of that process they also get revealed as cheating dickheads then even better.

Even our top lad Mr.Goater said in his opinion it was NOT a sending off and agreed with Dermot Gallagher that it was petulance.
By his own admission The Goat also said that he`d done it over the years in frustration.
