Retrospective 3 game ban for Rooney? [Gets off scot free]

[Meddler]

I still think if Cantona hadn't been a rag he would have been banned for life for the kung fu. Provocation or not.

Re: Rooney gets away with it

If twattenburg claims he dealt with it appropriately then surely the FA should demote him for making such a poor decision?

Re: Rooney gets away with it

Clattenburg..... that's all.

Got to be the most incompetant ref in footballing history..the guy is a fucking loser..

what with this and the dodgy nani goal against Spuds...the guy is so far up the scums arse that no one will top them until coonts like this are got rid of.

so what hes saying is that the elbow didnt even warrant a yellow ?? Cowardly weasel sums him up for me..

I can't believe that anyone is surprised. There never was any chance of Shrek being done. Virtually any other player from any other team apart from the old big four would have had retrospective action taken. It is incidents like this that will eventually turn people off football. After all who wants to watch a corrupt badly run sport that costs a fortune to see.

dosnt mean the FA cant start now with the fair and consistant rulings

That would probably be better to have a panel looking at contentious decisions which should of been red but you cant just move the lines in the middle of the game, based on the rules as they stand, its the right decision based on what has gone before (not morally obviously), they need to come out and say we plan to change decisions like these before they can actually do it otherwise it just looks like there punishing certain clubs.
Also the issue here that you only hear about these things when its a big player, these things happen all the time, normally the commentator says hes a lucky boy and you never here of it again.

Retrospective punishments with fast-tracking were designed to root stuff like this out of the game. It´s been in place for some time now but only used to suit their agenda. A cowardly act by both player and ref, sanctioned by a totally corrupt governing body. Come on DB get to fookin work and sort it FFS!

Lol

Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney will face no action from the Football Association after he appeared to elbow Wigan's James McCarthy.
The incident occurred during Saturday's Premier League match at the DW Stadium in which Rooney scored one of the goals in his team's 4-0 victory.
TV replays showed Rooney catch McCarthy on the back of his head with his elbow.
Ref Mark Clattenburg awarded a free-kick but Wigan manager Roberto Martinez insisted Rooney deserved a red card.
Clattenburg told the FA on Monday that he feels he took the appropriate action, which means the governing body cannot launch disciplinary proceedings against the 25-year-old England forward.

Crappenberg told the FArce the he continued in his mission to be the most corrupt arbiter the Solar System has ever seen. We will no doubt cop for Crappenberg's uselessness on Wednesday. I fancy that Mario will be sent for an early bath before HT and that Villa are awarded at least one pen in the first half hour!

This is about the last straw for me personally.

The beautiful game is corrupted beyond redemption.

A huge stinking pile of dung.

I'll always love City and all City Fans, but the ruling bodies have wrecked it.

Sale Sharks will be getting a greater proportion of my money next season.<br /><br />-- Mon Feb 28, 2011 2:05 pm --<br /><br />

Re: Rooney gets away with it

Surprised,not.Rules are only meant for Stoke,Wolves,De Jong,and Barton.Rooney could walk onto the pitch with a shotgun Moat style and get away with it if the ref is Clutterbox.
