no, they cannot be tried for the same offence twice, if they have been found not guilty the first time that's it. Even if this principle held true for football (which it doesn't) the fact is Mbiwa was found "guilty" by Jones and punished, so all that's happening is that "sentence" would be looked at and reviewed, which happens all the time in the legal system.
Citizen in Pakistan said:For all those wondering why don't FA have rules where they can review the yellow card decision and award the red even if the evidence suggest a clear red is because of the long standing international law principle of Double Jeopardy
This Principle is observed by all the sporting bodies , international organizations and nations.The principle states that an offender cannot be punished twiced for the same offence,so once a punishment has been dished out a new verdict cannot be given on the Same point.
