Red Card for Glen Johnson?!?!?!

[twinkletoes]

What is interesting is that Milner did exactly what Rooney did straight after the tackle. Held up 2 fingers and appealed for the card.

Everyone does it, Mancini seems to be the only one criticised for it.

So when has he said that? He wanted Johnson sent off.

How was he going to manage that given the game had already finished?

OK pedant, he wanted Johnson punished.<br /><br />-- Thu Jan 12, 2012 2:21 pm --<br /><br />

WTF are you on about?

Mancini wants consistency,as do we all.He clearly doesn't believe either challenge merited a red card,as do the majority of us,however,if,in the opinion of the powers that be(and thats all that matters unfortunately....) Komps challenge was worthy of a sending off then so was Johnsons,that is all.

So like you he wants it both ways.

Bollox. He only pointed out that there was no consistency as Johnson should have been sent off just as Vinny was. Vinny's card should have never been given and then rescinded but the FA are choosing to make a scapegoat of Vinny.

If Johnson gets away with exactly the same offence, and Mason does not come under scrutiny either, then the FA are hypocritical inept aresholes at the very least and will understandably be inviting further accusations of being biased and/or corrupt.

OK pedant, he wanted Johnson punished.

He wanted to highlight the inconsistencies between the two cases.

Like pretty much everyone in the ground.

Not read all the thread so might have already been covered. What is the ruling regards the referee not punishing something then the FA taking retrospective action, i.e. Adebayor, SWP. Can they ban Johnson for 3 games now if they thought it should have been a red?

No the ref saw it so nothing can be done.

I think it all depends on whether it has been mentioned in the refs report,and whether he saw it and deemed it unworthy of punishment.If he says he missed it i believe action can be taken?

Another convenient grey area i suspect.

perhaps the grey areas are where the most cash is

 

[FantasyIreland]

Mason saying he saw it,so no further action can be taken.

The cnut surely needs dropping for incompetency then??

Talk about a fooked up system.......

Just said the FA are not doing anything regards Johnson on Talksport for the above reason
