Unbelievable!<br /><br />-- 27 Jan 2013 23:42 --<br /><br />Whelan’s ugly challenge on García during Manchester City's 1-0 victory at the Britannia Stadium does not come under the FA’s remit for a retrospective charge.
The Stoke City midfielder will not face an investigation, even though the Manchester City midfielder Gareth Barry and Clarke Carlisle, the Professional Footballers’ Association chairman, suggested that action would be taken.
Webb and his officials were criticised for not having a clear view of the tackle, which happened early in the second half, and did not even caution the Republic of Ireland international or award a free-kick.
The FA can only take action after games for “off the ball” incidents and Webb, who was only yards away from the incident, is alleged to have told players that he did not have “the right angle” to make a judgment.
Carlisle, speaking on ITV’s FA Cup highlights programme, said Whelan can expect action but there will be no sanctions
