Yet again you have chosen to penalise my team, Burnley, yet let our opponents get off scot-free with blatant dives, including yet another ridiculous penalty.

You assured us at the start of the season that diving would be punished by you, retrospectively if necessary.

Well, as a Burnley fan I can only assume that you have one rule for Burnley and a totally different rule for the other teams.

Silva (Man City), Ramsey (Arsenal) and Murray (Brighton) have all cheated themselves penalties against us recently. BLATANTLY cheated them, yet you have not even investigated the incidents.

These penalties have cost us precious points. Burnley pride ourselves on playing the game in the right spirit, but as a fan since 1962 I feel that the time has come for my team to bring diving into our repertoire. If we can't beat them, join them.
Thanks a bunch for your retrospective "punishment" to divers. You really are stealing wages from us football fans by your incredibly inept management. Or, dare I say, the way you favour certain teams over others. Either way, it is simply not good enough.

I really dislike how you are allowing the game to descend into a game where cheats prosper. Our children look up to these players as heroes, and it is becoming more and more common to see junior footballers taking a dive. And they are right to do so. Because at the moment it is an acceptable part of the game.
Well, if your name is Murray, Silva, Ramsey, Lukaku, Vardy etc etc it is anyway.

If you play for Burnley you are likely to receive a three match retrospective ban for a bit of handbags. And who do Burnley play in those three games? Oh look, Man Utd, Liverpool and Huddersfield.

At the moment, I am so disillusioned with it all that I much prefer playing in the Championship. But the money is good in the Prem, as you very well know because of the amount you are trousering for doing.....what exactly?

And I thought that you were a liberal

when you get a reply from the FA- let us know what they say ?

[1959_60]

Don't hold your breath IDWT!

Perhaps if we can contact them mob handed then they may respond?

Easiest way to contact them is [email protected] or 0800 169 1863.

Let's at least make them do something for their massive wages.

Supersub, yes I am.

I believe in honesty, fairness and justice.

The antithesis of what the FA are doing.

I never saw that film Alfie- any good ?

[The Bedlington Terrier]

Well said sir!

But I did say on Saturday that a retrospective ban was coming Tarkowski's way.

You really cannot expect anything else from the FA can you?

[oldcolner]

Maybe you could also throw in the goals that have been disallowed for us eg Barnes when bigger teams get offside goals allowed.
Time for VAR and soon to ensure fairness.
Mind you that would condemn Tarks this time. Maybe Murray called his mother names! He certainly exaggerated the impact and tried to stop Tarks moving to the ball. He wasn’t even looking at it.

It's not just the FA, it's their effing useless agents on out the field of play, and they're at it again tonight at Goodison. Mason Holgate flicks the ball away from Dyer, Dyer decides to 'go to ground'. Jon Moss gives Swansea a free kick and Holgate a yellow card. Absolutely fecking clueless, it happens game after game and not just to us.
