swp banned

I think there is a silver lining in this. Shaun's not played well since the derby when he got no protection from the likes of Vidic, Evra, Fletcher et al who all took turns to kick lumps out of him.

Recently he has been suprisingly outpaced in one-to-ones, for example on Saturday when Downing made him look slow. I suspect injury and lack of confidence have combined and the break will do him good.

The home tie against Copenhagen will provide a good platform for his return. Meanwhile for the three away games we might be able to put Zabaleta on the right and bring in Elano which should give him his chance to shine.

Anyone got a link to Ronaldo's kicks? I haven't seen them and would be interested to see how similar to what Shauny did they are. If they are similar I will send the links to the FA.

If the linesman saw the Bosingwa incident and no card was produced, he should be fired.

Spot on. Unbelievable that he didn't deem it worthy of a card.

The lineman did see that incident and deemed it completely worthy of a red card. However before the match the referee stipulated to both assistants that unless he saw the incident he would under no circumstances be sending anybody off.

We can whinge on about the FA's double standards all we want, yeah we know it goes on but letters and email aren't going to change anything. Me, I'm more pissed off that SWP did it in the first place. When I saw my heart sank 'cause I thought he was going to walk there and then.

SWP's been in the game long enough to know that NO MATTER WHAT THE PROVOCATION IS, you don't lash out in retaliation - and yeah - that's exactly what he did. If you do that you stand a VERY good chance that you're gong to get sent off the park. Yes the officials missed it, but the TV cameras and every journo and pundit whose got it in for us didn't. If he HADN'T have done it, Delap would have walked and justice would have been served. As it is, SWP is out for three away games on the bounce, one of which is Anfeild, right at the time that we need to start picking up points away. Fuckin' great! Nice one SWeeP.

Im not hoping for anything, but here goes.

Hi.

Regarding the recent suspension issued to Shaun Wright Philips after his retaliation on Rory Delap, can you please explain why similar action wasn't taken with players such as Ronaldo and Bosingwa, in recent matches, for similar, if not worse events.

The argument that officials 'didn't see it' must surely raise questions, as videos show that they had good sight of the incidents, and therefore, this must call into question their ability to officiate at the top level. On a cynical note, it also seems to give them a 'get out of jail free' card, on contentious incidents.

It should also be noted that in the Ronaldo and Bosingwa cases, little provocation was made, whereas in Wright Phillps' case, he was fouled, and then kicked/had the ball kicked at him, while down from the initial foul. Is this not taken into account?

As fans, we accept that players if the letter of the law is to be applied, should be sent off/suspended, and yes, therefore Shaun should be banned, however, when similar incidents appear to go unpunished for certain clubs, it is unsurprising that people are losing faith in the governing body.

You'll be aware no doubt of the incidents I allude to, however, here are some videos to clarify.

I enclose the last video, of Skrtel on Jo, to emphasise my point regarding officials often being able to see the incidents.

Thanks for your time, and a response to clear this up would be appreciated.

Paul.

Wish he had walked there and then, then who knows, we may have got something at Stoke.

You're correct, it is outrageous. But the linesman did see it and he did signal for a free-kick. To Chelsea. Honestly, you couldn't make it up!
