[I'm With Stupid]

Media completely ignored it and then the FA announces the charge and they're all suddenly on it like they hadn't just spent the whole weekend sweeping it under an increasingly lumpy rug.

And then of course Sky find the one person in football who thinks it isn't violent conduct.

Violent conduct: kicking or attempting to kick an opponent.

Oh ok it was just petulance, there was me thinking Lukaku kicked an opposition player in the bollocks.

attempting to kick someone is a sending off doesn't matter if they hit them or not either. The FA think so as well so the ref must have said he'd have sent him off if he'd seen it. So I'm expecting a 3 game ban

Don’t hold your breath, it’s the fa we are talking about here!

Yet another example of how a certain team has the rules applied to them and are reffed very differently, compared to everyone else.

Peg will be readying the excuses for the derby if he gets a ban

If the FA don't charge him then all it will do is confirm what everybody in football knows anyway, that the rags always get preferential treatment.

Preferential treatment = Pure corruption. This is what it is. But let's see how it pans out.

Be disappointed if Lukaku is suspended.

He has been anonymous in the big games for them this season. He had two touches in the second half at Liverpool and one was mis controlled.

His movement is atrocious

Ibrahimovic is a far better player

Pmsl but I thought he was the next Drogba?

The last bit - I don't think the laws say that.
Attempting to kick an opponent is however a direct freekick offence.
