Referees make mistakes, so the FA should have the power to look at the footage and say that tackle was reckless (regardless of intent) and therefore warrants a red card/three game ban...
Poe
Completely irrelevant photo.

What's your point?

If you've ever had a player sent off for a bad challenge, you can't complain about any bad challenges on your players
Poe
Ah, silly me.
Probably should give McManaman a payrise in that case.

Well that's rubbish.
Poe
Not really, they a) shouldn't have won on Sunday, and b) will have a player available for the relegation run-in that shouldn't have been.

It's not true because:
a.) It's not their fault the FA have failed to punish them.
b.) it wasn't cheating - it was a bad foul, not match-fixing.
c.) even if he scores the winning goal in every remaining Wigan game, you can't definitively say he is the reason they stayed/will stay up.
Also: What Jay said.

And yes it's over a 38 game season, but 4 games have been blighted by an absolutely awful decision and subsequent ruling. You two would be the first to complain if RVP/Aguero done the same and got away with it then went on to change the course of the season. I'm not arsed as were probably safe anyway. But QPR, Villa and Sunderland might have a right to moan.
Jamieandhisego
Actually, you're wrong. United fans, including myself, were complaining to high heaven about the decision that got Nani sent off, it doesn't mean Real Madrid cheated or that if they go on and win the Champion's league it will be because they are cheaters.

Only Dave Whelan has defended him, and he's an old man.
Poe
Number 1
He should have been sent off at the time and the fact they have not punished him, both with a lino looking the other way and now this, is ballsy. We should add the FA to the lawsuit for gross incompetence and failing to protect players. I didn't think it as a good idea at first but if the FA are going to be this incompetent then why the fuck shouldn't we?
Pippadoc
Definitely dissappointed by the FA, and they may be corrupt in other ways. But in this case I don't really see the corruption in it - it's more a case of following the poorly thought out rules they've put in place.

Poe
This may not be an instance of corruption but it definitely is in other aspects.
Martinez also defended the challenge - saying "he's not that type of player" when he clearly is and has a history of it, as Man City fans should know. The level of abuse being aimed at Haidara on Twitter by their fans is also disgusting and has further soured relations.
I for one hope they are relegated, however the 4 primary candidates - QPR, Villa, Sunderland and Wigan are all clubs I don't hold much respect for. Sunderland probably the most, which is saying something.

So what can I use to make my decisions? You've discarded the player in question, the manager, the fans and the chairman?
He's done the same in reserve matches, just ask Gai Assulin.
Jamieandhisego
And what decision? You don't have to make any knee-jerk decisions, you can just calm down and argue that the rules ought to be changed because McManaman didn't get charged. No-one is asking you to make generalizations about Wigan, you started doing it on your own. You're the one accusing the FA of being corrupt and saying that Wigan would be cheating if they survived in the Premier League- if these are the judgement calls you are making, then you're just embarrassing yourself.
Number 1
Fucking hell how can this possibly get any worse?
Pippadoc
I guess that means Simpson and Gutierrez or Perch at fullback
Number 1
There's been calls from some fans that Gutierrez should be at full back with Santon in a winger slot as they seem to do better and given Santon has been continually caught out in recent fixtures it can't do any harm. But it is hardly helpful we have lost all our players, especially in such awful circumstances as last Sunday's match.
Shola
Implying that it is a enthusiastic challenge, and an unfortunate accident. Which it wasn't.
Anyway FA need to sort out their regulations the current ones are completely wrong. Newcastle are right to pursue legal costs. As was Victor Anichebe. Newcastle have also sued their own fans this season twice.
Deano
Anichebe got the money for loss of earnings.
There is no point, I was bored
