Just got a reply from the FA to my complaint about the inconsistent punishment of SWP.
Dear John
Thank you for contacting The Football Association.
As I am sure you are already aware at a Regulatory Commission, Manchester City midfielder Shaun Wright-Phillips was given a three match suspension.
The charge related to an incident with Stoke City midfielder Rory Delap during the first half of the match at the Britannia Stadium on Saturday 31 January.
The incident was not seen by referee Martin Atkinson. Having watched video footage of the incident, Atkinson has informed The FA that, had he seen it at the time, he would have shown Wright-Phillips a red card for violent conduct.
Supporters often compare incidents with others and ask why the same actions are not taken? This is simply due to no two incidents being the same. The Football Association takes its disciplinary procedures very seriously and judges each investigation on its merits.
If you would like further information on The FA’s disciplinary processes please visit the following link: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.thefa.com/NR/rdonlyres/C78670E4-FC3D-4AF2-A526-59DEA094982E/148784/DisciplinaryProcedures0809.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.thefa.com/NR/rdonlyres/C7867 ... es0809.pdf</a>
The Football Association receives many letters from supporters of clubs complaining about what they see as favourable or unfavourable treatment. Football is a game of opinions, but our concern is to be even handed across the board. We are confident that the disciplinary procedures off the pitch as well as the Referees on the pitch uphold the laws of the game without any bias to player or club.
While I appreciate this may not alleviate your concerns, I would nevertheless like to thank you for taking the time to write. The Customer Relations team exists in order to collate views from the general public, build a picture of public opinion and feed this back internally within The FA. With this in mind, please rest assured, your comments have been noted.
Kind regards

So, there you go that's alright then.

My reply.
Mr Halfpenny,
Thank you for contacting The Football Association. At a Regulatory Commission on 9 February, Manchester City midfielder Shaun Wright-Phillips was given a three match suspension.
The charge related to an incident with Stoke City midfielder Rory Delap during the first half of the match at the Britannia Stadium on Saturday 31 January.
The incident was not seen by referee Martin Atkinson. Having watched video footage of the incident, Atkinson has informed The FA that, had he seen it at the time, he would have shown Wright-Phillips a red card for violent conduct.
In the case of Chelsea’s Jose Bosingwa we appreciate your views on this issue and fully understand your frustration on this matter.
Referee Mike Riley has informed The FA that, while he did not see the incident himself, it was seen by his assistant Mo Matadar. No action was taken against Bosingwa by the officials.
Under the FIFA Laws of the Game, The FA is prohibited from taking disciplinary action when incidents are seen at the time by the match officials.
