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

[mcfcliam]

That is absolutely fucking disgraceful.

So,it seems everybody(Rag management and FA boys club aside) is in agreement that this decision is a disgrace and plain wrong.
The question now is - how do we go about displaying our disbelief and anger along with our desire for justice?

Something has to be done,ideas please....

well all i can say is that any team playing the scum with this twat in charge can kiss 3 points goodbye.

 

[Scareye]

Absolute fucking disgrace!!
There is a thread on the main forum about falling out of love with football and if anything is likely to make me feel the same way then this is it.
This decision defies reason leading to only one conclusion in my eyes.
The English game is bent!!!

I feel sick. This is the worst case of "sweeping it under the carpet" that I have seen. I would rather see a case of referees fixing games for cash, than referees and the FA just pretending something had never fucking happened, even though we all saw it with our own fucking eyes.

The FA are nor

Here's an interesting angle on it: -

That makes me feel even more sick if true.

This keeps getting brought up in the British press:

However, the disciplinary process is complex in the sense that the FA are not allowed by FIFA to take further action on incidents already dealt with by the referee.

But it is my understanding that the Italians fucked this nonsense off a long time ago and regularly thumb their nose at FIFA by using video evidence against players when the referee gets it wrong. And we all know that our very own FA quite rightly bent the rules in Ben Thatcher's case.

This absolutely fucking stinks.

They are allowed to take further action if a city player is involved - e.g. Ben Thatcher. It's an absolute joke - Rooney's elbow like that could have easily fractured the guy's skull

There has to be some way to protest this madness and blatent, BLATENT (if one person calls it paranoia like usual, I will personally tear their head off!) corruption and favouritism to the "elite" in English football. A small part of me wishes City wasn't such a drug in my system so that I could quit this soiled, corrupted sport.

 

[BurnCK]

So the ref claimed to see the elbow did he ?? If so then why was no card produced on the day ?? Is it just a case of a freekick was given so that's ?

Complete bollocks !

 

[cleavers]

Weren't nothing in it really. FA has rightly let it go

Thanks for that Wayne, or is it Mark ?

what i really dont get and i keep saying it is... If he saw it he should have given red but he didnt..did he also think that it didnt deserve a yellow either ??
The rules state that any player raising their arm/hand to another player with intent is a red card offence..

I would dearly love to know what clattencunt thought of the incident..what rooney did was worse than what sagna did on zabba yet sagna got 3 game ban.. clear favourtism on behalf of the scum..
