Yes, Murphy has got away with it. He'd have been sighted on Friday if a panel judgement was possible.
Wish I could say I'm surprised.

When a three match ban is handed out retrospectively, one of those games could be saved for the next time the player faces the same opposition in domestic competition.The offending player being banned might not directly benefit the team on the receiving end of the foul but it would at least act as some sort of deterrent.
Interesting thoughts.The Prem and FA are not arms of Government. They're Limited Companies - proper commercial entities. And yet when some player commits a despicable tackle and people call for the Police to get involved, the likes of Shearer say 'No, let football deal with this.......', as though footballer violence is exempt from UK law. Get the Police involved, send the evidence to the CPS including numerous videos from various angles and let them decide whether to put the player on trial - as in the Duncan Ferguson case in 95. Seeing one or two put on trial and locked up might have a deterrent effect.

It's not a perfect idea, but I really hate the current system.
Not the same but when our player goes off injured and then come back on. Why does the opponent who committed the foul not have to wait until injured player or sub is ready to come on?
