Luiz shoulder challenge

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

This is what pisses me right off about retrospective action
The ref will only see that once and if his view is obscured he will not see the full incident. Meanwhile his assistant is looking at the Chelsea back line as well as trying to assist the ref, so he may not clearly see what's happened.
In cases such as this, the referee should be asked, like he is with things that he's totally missed and where he's not taken action, to review the incident again and review his punishment
The FA has already set a precedent by banning Thatcher even though he received a yellow on the night

The only trouble with asking refs is that I am convinced that they are more concerned about where their next final is coming from, and the response will be based on what will get them the final gig rather than promoting the notion of justice!

Link / gif / video / anything, ive not seen it but ill make a judgement anyway seen as I think sideshow bob is a bit of a twat, he should be banned for 7 games (not including the potential quarter final against them lot though)

But at the moment they have a "get out of jail free card" by saying "I saw the incident and dealt with it at the time"
By having to review an incident for a second time, they're more accountable, but I admit that it still wouldn't be perfect though
I will use City and rag incidents as examples.
A few years ago, ronaldo three times got away with "violent conduct" by retaliating and kicking out against opponents whist on the ground. In each case the referee said he saw the incident and dealt with it at the time
The same season, Dunne was sent off for us for kicking out after being flattened and SWP was retrospectively banned for the same
My point is, if the refs had to look at the ronaldo incidents again, ronaldo would have been awarded red cards in all three incidents

We're now getting back to the Premier League protecting the flagship brands of their product
As I've mentioned on here a number of times, Graham Poll openly admitted in a radio interview he made decisions on the pitch with his future refereeing ambitions and career in mind, which is why ronaldo wasn't given the correct punishment. If the ref had to watch the incidents again ronaldo would have suffered the consequences of his actions

I would like to second the request for link/gif/video. I haven't seen it either.

We couldn't see it from where we were yesterday, but having seen it a couple of time on telly it just looks worse every time you see it. The thing that really pisses me off is the fact that they were 4-0 up already when he did it.

Wasn't it Luiz who elbowed balo in the face in the last minute of the Chelsea match an half our own fans were complaining about balo diving and the ref carded balo for diving? Then on tele it was nailed on that the dirty bastard elbowed him in the face on the edge of the box.

He's a dirty fucking bastard, a shit centre half, and has stupid hair.
