Retrospective ban for Ferdinand

[blueinsa]

Amazing isnt it, where is the chairman of the FA today saying we are definately going to look at it, saying that he was out of order?

Hypocrites all!

Ferdinand is just back from injury, is fitness will not be great.

2 games in 4 days will be too much for him.

I hope he plays. Then gets banned.

Here's the chapter and verse on the Fast Track Procedure from the FA:

Incidents not seen by the match officials but caught on video

How it works

Applies to the more serious sending-off offences (violent conduct, serious foul play, spitting, offensive/insulting/abusive language or behaviour) where the match officials did not see the incident. The purpose is to put the player in the same position as if the incident had been seen by the match officials. The Compliance Department is guided by the referee’s view of whether the incident merited a dismissal.

The processes mirror the timings and sanctions that would apply had any of the match officials seen the incident and the referee then sent the player off. A charge must be issued within two working days of the incident, with a response due from the club within one day of receipt of the charge.

When a charge is issued, a set penalty is offered (eg. three matches for violent conduct).

Disciplinary Commission hearings are generally scheduled for Tuesdays and Thursdays.

So they would first have to establish that something happened. That shouldn't be too difficult although the cameras weren't directly on the incident.

Then Bennett would have to say that, on the basis of what the video/other evidence showed, he would have issued a straight red. If so, Ferdinand would be offered a three game ban. However, nothing would happen before Thursday.

I bet that, even if the FA do review it, Bennett will say it didn't warrant a straight red.

Had this of been anybody other than a United player, Sky would be showing it over and over about 20 times an hour as they usually do. They would of been discussing yesterday morning when the journo's enthuse about the Rags ever Sunday for an hour and half.

All forms of the Media and the FA are shit scared of United.

PATHETIC

The silence from the FA is deafening dont you think.

Suprised? Are we fuck!

I emailed the FA, quoting what Prestwich_Blue quoted, haven't heard a peep as yet.
