So the main objective is to delay the penalty on a technicality ?

Well, unsavory, but would certainly be priceless to have Carroll available for the February games, so lets play the system and take a shot at it.

Let's out-c.unt the c.unts ...

Sounds good in theory OZ but you haven't thought it through mate.

What if the c.unts realise they are being out-c.unted and decide to counter-c.unt? [/quote]

I say go for it, the FA Panel are a joke. Intent by Carroll is debatable at best. He has every right to free himself from a marauding by another player and if so by doing this,he accidentally skims the top of the AGGRESSORS Hair, he should not be carded. To say he lashed out violently is pure conjecture and open to interpretation. We need to stand up to these morons at the FA.

What I find most shocking about all this is how Flores is given the benefit of the doubt but Carroll isn't. Flores needs to be penalized and banned too if Carroll is.
What Flores did was far more blatant and should be intolerable by all members of the FA.
To those who want to argue that Flores wasn't on trial or under review, I say that's nonsense, it was his obvious over reaction that got Carroll carded, he is as much a part of this as anyone, just because Webb missed his original foul and his flop doesn't mean the Panel should turn a blind eye to his actions. The reason the s.hit happens is because of rulin

Gold: We have to fight for Carroll


West Ham's co-owner David Gold has claimed the club has been forced to take legal action over Andy Carroll's red card because they have no alternative.




The Hammers want the Football Association to take the case to an arbitration panel after referee Howard Webb's decision to send off the striker after a clash with Swansea's Chico Flores was upheld by a three-man FA appeal's body.

Carroll is now facing a three-match ban and Gold said that could mean the difference between relegation and top-flight survival.

Gold told Press Association Sport: "We are hugely disappointed at the outcome of the process.

"There is nowhere to go other than to seek some kind of legal redress. It's not ideal, the last thing I want to do is going to some kind of legal iss
