Sir Alex Ferguson has stoked the fires before his team’s Barclays Premier League game against Liverpool at Old Trafford tomorrow by accusing the FA of giving the Merseyside club preferential treatment.

The Manchester United manager is furious that Steven Gerrard and Javier Mascherano, the Liverpool midfield players, escaped disciplinary action this season over incidents similar to the one that earned Rio Ferdinand, the United defender, a four-match ban for violent conduct.

“They [Liverpool] do all right,” Ferguson said, witheringly, of the FA’s decision not to charge Gerrard or Mascherano. “They are lucky like that. Maybe one day we will get lucky.”

Ferguson has called for an urgent overhaul of the FA’s disciplinary unit after openly questioning its integrity and dismissing the governing body as “dysfunctional”.

“He saw the elbow?” Ferguson said, disbelievingly. “You see, it goes on and on and on. I didn’t expect them to charge Gerrard simply because it’s a dysfunctional unit, the FA.

“I don’t think they know what they are doing. There is no consistency for a start, so you can’t expect to get consistency and I never expect any. So I’m not too bothered about it, to be honest with you. They’ll do what they want down there. It’s crazy at times.

“But I certainly think if it was a Manchester United player, he would have been done, as was the case with Rio Ferdinand. There is nothing you can do about it. You just scratch your head at some of the decisions they take and wonder how they came to them.”

surely no one should be surprised at this decision,it only rubber stamps the firm belief of the majority of fans that football in england is corrupt,the fa see this season's winners of the premier league as a triumphant vehicle for the league wordwide, with utd surpassing liverpools league titles and so come may when most media will have forgot about certain corrupt events during the season will hail the rag bast***s for their achievement.....

Most of us footies (especially non-MU fans and non- ass lickers) are cognizant of that. We had the opportunity to redress this by taking Rooney & MU to task. We could have claim the high moral ground.

Now, no matter how our British media dressed it the rest of the world will now viewed football in England as blatantly corrupt & devoid of scriuples & morals .
SMACKS of HYPOCRISY!

None of this is surprising and I'm inclined just to shrug my shoulders as there isn't much I can do about it but one thing is puzzling me. The FIFA Disciplinary Code contains Article 77 which states the following:

"Article 77 Specific jurisdiction
The Disciplinary Committee is responsible for:
a) sanctioning serious infringements which have escaped the match
officials’ attention;
b) rectifying obvious errors in the referee’s disciplinary decisions;
c) extending the duration of a match suspension incurred automatically
by an expulsion (cf. art 18, par. 4);
d) pronouncing additional sanctions, such as a fine."

I'm not sure of the jurisdiction of the FIFA Disciplinary Code in that I'm not sure if the FA follows the same approach but I can only surmise that they don't and instead have their own code. But I keep hearing people banging on about FIFA rules curbing the FA's ability to overturn decisions or non-decisions if the ref has already "dealt with it" but that's clearly bollocks. Can anyone explain this?

It can be explained that the rule is is there to hide behind as and when it suits yet not really all that strong as and when they feel like banning certain players from certain clubs for reasons that only senior people at the FA affiliated to Utd and Arsenal could possibly explain.

Hope that helps.

For this moronic thug - regardless of who he plays for - not to be called to account for his actions represents the single most shocking decision I think I have ever seen in football.

And the saddest.

For the body that is responsible for upholding the values and integrity of the game, this is a dark, dark day.

yes it sickens me as well. for the fa to hide behind supporting the ref so as not to upset fifa, as well as ferguson (knighted, as we all know) for defending that action, is disgusting.

Was it a dark, dark day when Gerrard got away with it twice? Was it a dark, dark day when Terry almost broke Milners leg? Was it a dark, dark day when Hunt stoved in Cechs head?

Yes it fucking was because it yet again showed that justice is not fair in this league and that it really does depend on who you are or who you play for and more importantly, whether your club is represented at the highest levels of the FA and thus able to influence decisions either way to suit.

Rooney has elbowed the lad in the head, fucking dangerous and fucking despicable and he has been shown to do this on more than one occasion in the past and on each occasion he fucking gets away with it, as does Gerrard, yet another favourite of the sky big 4 and yet another wonder boy of the FA's cash cow that is team England.

How the fuck you can try and defend him is beyond me, it really is.
