Caroll - 3 match ban!

[sir terence brown]

Carroll deserves his 3 matches.
Flores deserves 3 matches for acting but that won't happen as every game 2 or 3 players would be banned..

Two things...

1) This is not decided by an FA panel. It is an independent committee staged on FA guidelines. How much influence the FA have on their decision making process, however, I'll leave up to the conspiracy theorists

2) I agree with a fair few on here that is so angry with Cheeto that I do actually wish Carroll had properly done the c.unt. Truly served him up so that he had something to squeal about.

Acting like that over Hackney Marshes, Wanstead Flats, Dagenham or wherever you played your football would have got you f.ucking caned in my day, and that was just your own players ffs.

We have to move on but this decision has really stunk the football world out in my view.

If only people would take the objective rather than subjective view. The appeal was decided on the following:

Who was booked? - Andy Carroll

Had he committed a foul? - In the eyes of a world-class referee - Yes

Had Carroll shown intent to cause injury to another player? - Yes because he swung his arm round (leading with his elbow0 at head height knowing full well his opponent was directly behind him.

Is there any evidence that anything similar had happened earlier? - Yes

I know Flores was guilty of laying it on but the man in charge decided not to punish him with a yellow but Carroll has only his own lack of self-control to thank for this 3 match ban.

I have watched the clip many times..How do the FA know Carroll swung his elbow with intent?He wasn`t even looking at Cheato..He also had his arms round Carroll`s neck.It was BLATANT cheating by Chico and he has got away scot free..The FA are just covering their refs arses as usual.If we want to stop cheating in the game,they should have rescinded the red and put Chico in the dock and banned him ,not Carroll.What a joke!! .If we`d have known he`d have got a 3 match ban,he could have really laid the c**t out properly!!.A terrible decision by the FA.They should hold their heads in shame.

If you've ever played football or refereed at a decent level (which Webb obviously has) you know! The FA hearing would have made their decision on Webb's presentation.

[terrya1965]

Webb could make mistake after mistake and the FA will still back him..Tossers,the lot of them.Everything is black and white,they can`t and won`t see it any other way.

It was stupid to contest it. It doesn't matter what the facts are, if the supposed top ref in the world gives a decision and stands by it, then the FA will not contradict him and reverse it, unless it was a monumental and clear error. Unfortunately it wasn't, it was open to interpretation and therefore they won't reverse it.

We can count ourselves lucky that they didn't slap us with a frivolous extra game, for our cheek in daring to challenge the 'god' in black!

[Dailly___7]

Not surprised. Bunch of clueless w@nkers.

Got to say, I hope that rumours of us taking this to court aren't true. We're better than that.
