Imagine the retrospective appeals they woud be exposing themselves open to if they even entertained such an idea?
Not a chance on earth, especially without input from a referees report. Referees which are controlled and answer to a self regulating body.
The f.a don't need to make themselves look like even bigger bafoons than they already do, do they?

They bloody well can. And you don't know the ref saw it at all.rickmcfc said:The FA can't go back and give him a red card as the referee saw the inciden and decided not to act. Let's just move on.

Doesn't work that way. You can't go back to games and give post-match red cards, everyone knows that

Blimey, that is FAR worse than it first seemed.
I have to tell you folks, that is a 100% cast iron, dead cert straight red card. All day long.
The rules say nothing of two-footed challenges. But they do say:
A player is guilty of serious foul play if he uses excessive force or brutality
against an opponent when challenging for the ball when it is in play.
A tackle that endangers the safety of an opponent must be sanctioned as
serious foul play.
Any player who lunges at an opponent in challenging for the ball from the
front, from the side or from behind using one or both legs, with excessive force
and endangering the safety of an opponent is guilty of serious foul play.
Also,
“Using excessive force” means that the player has far exceeded the necessary
use of force and is in danger of injuring his opponent.
• A player who uses excessive force must be sent off
How on earth can that challenge not have endangered injuring Lescott? You can see his bloody ankle bend! 5 milliseconds late and he would have snapped his bloody leg in half. Jesus Christ.

Double footed, off the ground, feet together.
Far worse than VK's.
Not even a yellow, couldn't make it up.
Dixon said it was worse than VK's

If they saw the video above, they would be mortified. It's an absolutely shocking challenge. Much worse than your average kicking an opponent, or head butt or elbow which would all get reds but in reality are not that dangerous. Johnson's challenge could have ended Lescott's career!

clattenburg saw the adebayor/van persie incident (10 feet away & looking directly at it) but decided not to act. however, he put in his report that he hadn't seen it but would have given adebayor a red card if he had. hence the fa were able to give adebayor a retrospective 3 match ban.
there are precedents for this kind of thing but it seems that city always get the shitty end of the stick.
Gray said:The Ref was influenced by our last match and decided to not book anybody until he absolutely had to, work a treat apart from the Johnson tackle in the last few minutes.
If every ref did what Mason did tonight I would be happy.
So would I, but our captain is sat in the stands for 4 matches because they don't, so I'm not happy at all.
