No action against Lukaku

Sadly , nothing will change because of this.
Everyone can see what a shower of corrupt or incompetent (or both) cretins are running the game but as long as decisions go in favour of the rags then the reaction will always be limited. It’s another ten minute wonder soon to be at the proverbial bottom of the budgie’s cage.
It seems to me that the FA really don’t care how they are perceived as long as they can maintain the status quo, and let their most important and prized asset ride roughshod over the rules.
 
I have seen the influence Alex Ferguson has on every facet of the English game. When his Darren son got fired as manager of Preston North End, I watched with bemusement as Ferguson immediately recalled his loan players from Deepdale. I then watched in horror as another club in the premier league, managed by Ferguson’s father’s friend Tony Pulis, also recalled their loan players from PNE.
An Everton fan friend of mine was puzzled why I thought Poolis was such a twat. Until I told him this.
 
Wherever there is money there is corruption.

From a football point of view, I remember going to Maine Road when it was very full yet the official attendance indicated an unbelievably lower figure. This was a regular thing and I'm sure happened at most grounds where cash changes hands.
Mr Scudamore has indicated the game needs a Man U resurgance so it should come as no surprise that they get the best chances from refs, and any other FA run panel.

That was Peter Swales sticking the difference in his back pocket.....
 
Just heard via Ray Parlour that this judgment.panel was made up of three ex-managers. He said Lukaku "got away with one".
So, at best this shows inconsistency in the decision making process, used with current legislation. At worst it shows incompetence and bias.
Ray Parlour was, shockingly, talking out of his arse!

Retrospective red cards are three current referees, all independently viewing and passing judgment on whether they would have given a red card to something the ref in attendance says he didn’t see. Must be unanimous decision.

Retrospective simulation is different.

From Premier League itself:

The three-man panel will consist of one former match official, a former manager and an ex-player.
The Football Association will only be able to impose the ban if the panel's decision is a unanimous one.
If a player is found guilty of deceiving an official or admits to the charge, the yellow or red card given to the opposing player can be rescinded.

Dyke said similar also if memory serves.
How can you have credibility as an authority whilst openly saying you have a soft spot for one team above others due to misguided old school misty eyed rubbish.

Hi TC, yes I'm sure both had sound financial reasons to wish for a successful MU team just as their support of FFP was done for sound financial reasons.
If a cartel can be used against City then why would they stop at that to delay our resurgence.

We are still unwelcome at the top table.
 
3 ex-managers? What the feck! How on earth can they have a fair opinion. They're all bent feckers. So the panel isn't even referees, the whole thing is a joke. What did they think he was trying to do? Play footsie with Bongs goolies?
Parlour is a cockney prat...and completely wrong. Shocking, huh?
