FA dismiss Shaun Derry's appeal

[jimharri]

I'm not in the least bit surprised. It doesn't matter that play shouldn't even have still taking place at the time, or that it wasn't even a foul anyway. Just waiting now to hear that Ivanovic's punch on the Wigan player (Maloney, I think) will go unpunished. The FA are a bloody joke.

Haha. Depressingly predictable, the FA sticking by their referees when even Shakin Bacon admits it shouldn't have been a penalty or a red card

 

[the blue panther]

Indefensible decision imho.

Young dived. He got a pen as a result and a wrongful sending off. Derry should be exonerated and Young, the diving cheating twat who has plenty of previous, should get a 3 match ban.

They are quickly becoming the laughing stock of world football. 15 minutes before the announcement, everyone would have said it wasn't a sending off and the card should be rescinded. 15 minutes after the announcement the world shook its head in disbelief.

 

[Hamann Pineapple]

They should explain their decision

 

[glen quagmire]

Doesn't matter.
They already have the three points. Blatter gets slagged for being corrupt, he looks a saint compared to the cunts we have.

They should explain their decision

This is the FA we're talking about; you do realise that, don't you?

not surprised

they can't take the fact that it was offside into account and there's no conclusive proof that young dived (albeit i think he did)

the videos show contact and a 'push', the red card was never going to be overturned with that!

funny that we had a trial by media on a few occasions this year after each match.

the FA need to explain why they made their decision and give the reasons based on facts.

these inconsistancies need to be sorted out!

How can they, with all the evidence before them dismiss his appeal??? One he was offside to start with,two it was a dive and three there was absolute minimal contact to make him go over like that.A bunch of bent corrupt bastards!
