"The referee said he saw the whole incident, in his opinion Mascherano did nothing wrong and didn't warrant any further action, but if one player's action didn't warrant any action - why should the other? And that was our basis for the appeal."

steve gibson - boro chairman said:
"We have amateurs in charge of the professional game.''

"When you look at some of the bad tackles that have been punished far less it's completely ludicrous. This is a professional game and we need professional people making professional decisions not these silly little men."

If your going to get a three match ban for so called violent behaviour, then [Poor language removed] earn it. its quite clear that 'all clubs are equal and that some clubs are more equal than others' - aliadiere ought to have let him have a a few good punches. if the matter had been made a civil or criminal case, the clear provocation of mascherano would have been taken into consideration instead of so quickly glossed over.

farce.
 
I couldn't believe they got an extra match ban because they deemed the appeal "frivolous."

I read where Essien had an appeal denied yet Chelsea didn't get an extra match ban for him.

One set of rules for one set of clubs and another set of rules for the rest.

What we have here is a failure of the FA to uniformly apply the rules fairly and to all clubs.
 
The sad thing is, in all likelyhood the Eduardo tackle will likely recieve the same three match ban as non-events like the Arteta 'elbow' on Fabregas.

It's no wonder people are confused. Petrov's red card was soft really, especially when you look at Gallas aiming a kick at Nani and getting nothing, even in retrospect. No consistency at all.

To be honest most red cards could be dealt with a simple "stop being a tart and get on with the game". I think it should only be the dangerous (ie Taylor on Eduardo) or the cynical (professional fouls) that warrent a red card. Referees flounce about like a bunch of tarts at times with the way they carry on, puff full of self importance. Take a leaf out of rugby refs and treat players as equals.
 

hows about getting a rugby ref in for prem games, just one, and lets see how he stacks up over say 10 games comparatively.
 
I don't know why anyone is surprised by this latest decision to be honest, the f.a have, and always will be bent.It's a boys club, and as for the referees, they see themselves as a closed shop, a seperate entity when they clearly need to be intergrated into the game itself for the benefit of the game, not egotistical individuals who see themselves as the highlight of the game ( Rennie,Riley,Clattenburg etc ). Nothing will ever change, standards and baffling decisions will only increase as their accountability diminishes each and every week.

It really got out of hand at the '06 World Cup. Reds were flying everywhere for fouls that at MOST, would have been deemed a yellow and some of which would have been just a foul but no card at all.

Instead, common sense when applying the laws of the game went out the window.

I remember watching an old [Poor language removed] vs. ManU match on ESPN Classic. I think the match was played in 1979.

I couldn't believe the amount of tackles that weren't even whistled for a foul.

Today, those tackles would not just get a whistle, but the offending player would have gotten a card.

Times they're a changin'

well said bet arteta wished he'd knocked his front teeth out.

as for rugby refs, they still command respect from the players they don't get crowds around them questioning every decision, a lot(in union) are schoolmasters and the like and it's weird but it's similar to the teacher you see in the ale house and still call sir, they play from leaving school and always see them as figures of authority.
unfortunately disputing every decision was allowed to creep into the game too long ago (viv anderson took it from the arse to ushited) there are some shocking decisions like and i personally don't think that the arguement against t.v. replays to confirm decisions, that says the game will take too long doesn't hold, football is 1 of the most expensive forms of entertainment and making it last a little bit longer to get it right can only add to the value for money.
