Torres escapes ban

The FA said in a statement: "One of the match officials saw the coming together of the two players, albeit not in its entirety.

"In these particular circumstances, in line with The FA's policy on when retrospective action may be taken, reviewed this summer by the game's stakeholders, no action may be taken."

What is the FA's policy on when retrospective action may be taken?

Suarez would have been crucified had he scratched an opponents face...interesting to see who else gets away with a similar crime this season

Depends on who the club and player are, and whether it might spoil their preferred PL winners' chances.

I don't know but wasn't Balotelli banned for the Parker 'stamp' after the ref said he'd seen it but not seen it properly until the T.V AND Redknapp kept banging on about it

I wouldn't have complained at a ban. Stupid and needless thing to do, even if Vertoghen was acting like a right twat throughout.

So the only victim in this is poor Robbie Fowler.

Free the Toxteth One.

What I dont undersatand is that when Suarez bit Ivanovic, he got a yellow card for it so the Ref clearly saw something.

Never stopped them from adding to the ban then though did it!

A great message this sends out to kids who see this animal as a role model.

As said,certain individuals,our own Mario,had he done similar,being one..... would have served a lengthy ban for such an act.

If Torres is an animal I would say he's a Brazilian tree-sloth with rickets based on most of his performances for Chelsea.

gdm,i'm sure you realise the anology was not based upon his recent footballing ability,however,in hindsight maybe i should have just called him a dispicable cvnt.
