Tom Huddlestone

maybe because, for example, last season vidic got away with 3 elbows and a punch & the season before tranny got away with 3 retaliatory kicks on opponents because in each case the referee claimed he'd seen the incidents & 'dealt with them at the time'. in the meantime there have been the witch hunts against ade & ndj.

Adebayor intentionally stood on Van Persies face, he rightly got punished for that. NDJ didn't get punished for what he did, because there was nothing to punish him for. The media went after him because of what his dick head national team boss did, but also because he had broken another leg, (Holden), not long before and also because of what he did in the WC final. Thats not a witch hunt, its the media going after a story which was there purely because of his previous. Hopefully Huddlestone will get targeted because he too has previous. People are too defensive on here and too ready believe nothing happens to anyone but our players. I'm 100% confident that Bolton will kick up a fuss and the FA will act because the cameras clearly showed that the intention was there, just like it showed Adebayors intention last year.

i'm not arguing that ade was rightly punished, just pointing out the lack of consistency when clear assaults by some high profile players go completely unpunished. (gerrard is another serial offender to get away scot free).

as for witch hunts, there is no doubt that ndj was subjected to a sustained witch hunt by certain sections of the media. however, the fa could do nothing because martin atkinson had the integrity & the bottle to come straight out & say he saw the incident & there was no foul.

on the other hand ade was subject to a disgraceful witch hunt. arsenal supporting (the) fa chief executive ian whatmore hung ade out to dry immediately after the game thereby denying him anything like a fair hearing. mark clattenburg then lied twice, firstly saying that he didn't see the van persie incident despite being about 6 feet away & looking straight at it & secondly by saying he didn't book ade for his goal celebration but for time wasting despite the fact that it took only 30 seconds. this allowed the fa to take retrospective action twice against ade but strangely nothing came of van persie's earlier celebration when he ran right up to the city fans in cb level 1 screaming obscenities at them.

do you believe that players of all clubs are treated equally in disciplinary matters? i wish it was so although i do share your view that in this instance huddlestone will be called to account by the fa.

I maybe wrong here, but the only one I have been incensed with is the non-punishment of Gerrard when he elbowed whoever it was. As far as I know he got away with that, and that was as intentional as it gets, just like Huddlestone today. I can't agree with the Ade one though fella. If you go around stamping on peoples faces you should rightly be punished and whether the media decide to make sure that happens by going on a witch hunt, as you call it, well then thats by the by. Don't stamp on a fellow pro's face and there will be nothing to be hunted for.
 
The travesty of the Adebayor case was that Clattenburg blatantly lied to enable retrospective punishment to take place.
 
straight red.

could of let kept his leg in the air until he passed by, infact if he would of put his foot down straight he wouldn't of even touched him.

he moved his leg across and stamped.

3 match ban.
 
Just seen it on MOTD, doesnt look that bad at all...



Adebayors on Van Persie last season was far worse.

Agree Adebayor's was worse but he still intentionally tries to hurt the opponent which isn't on at all.
