There needs to be a petition signed by fans of every PL club to demand retrospective action against Martinelli for that disgusting ‘challenge’ on Bednarek last night.

Absolutely scandalous Hooper didn’t even book Martinelli even though it was worthy of a straight red card.

Challenges like that have to be severely punished or someone is going to be seriously injured soon.
I presume you're referring to him "making a back" for Bednarek, yeah? No chance anything will be done. Kane's been getting away with it for years. The FA would be leaving themselves wide open to accusations of hypocrisy, and of protecting England's captain.

As if the FA could ever be accused of that :)-

Oh, I know. I called it a “Kane special” in the PL matches thread when it happened.

And that is exactly why we fans need to publicly put pressure on them to punish these challenges with long bans before someone gets seriously hurt (Bednarek was a few inches from his life changing).

In rugby if you take someone out in mid air you’re off, no ifs or buts

Don't get me wrong, I agree 100% with you. If Bednarek's fall is slightly different, he could end up in a wheelchair. And Martinelli knew what he was doing (he had a sly glance behind him as he was backing towards the Saints player). But the precedent seems to have been set with "OOOO".
