Jatta banned and fined

[magpie_mania]

I thought that was something the FA looked at? It was a rule that was bought in that if a red card from conning the ref was awarded that a player would face retrospective action. Clearly must have dreamt it.

He wasn?t red carded though because the ref was conned. It was imo because he went in two footed and the aggression. I think he would have gone whatever the Wimbledon player did. Needs work on his self-control. That said, action should be taken against the defender. The referee also needs questioning as to why he didn?t give a foul in favour of Jatta.

I don't agree with that. The replays I've seen seem to show no actual contact was made, although in real time it didn't look good so it was tricky for the ref. I just can't believe that the Wimbledon cheat pretending to be severely injured and their players surrounding the ref pleading for a red had no bearing on his decision.

Jatta gets a long ban, but the cheat will be free to play in a Wembley final. For that reason alone, I hope Walsall beat them, and it would be even better if they did it through an equally bad decision from the officials.
