James McCarthy

[Moomin]

Just been listening to Five Live, Sir Trevor Brooking was on and he said that he had personally contacted referee chief Mike Riley and asked for retrospective action to be taken on James McCarthy.

I think it's a conflict of interest for Sir Trevor Brooking to get involved what with him working for the FA and been a West Ham supporter.

It was reckless.

He was in total control.

James tries to get the ball there, and I'm sure there is no one more disappointed at seeing another Pro having to payet such a high price

He was booked. They can do sod all about it.

Lads it wasnt even a foul.

Reel 'em in skipper. The seas won't be this still for long.

As a side note to all of this, I have never really understood why a tackle from behind is an instant red. I suppose Payet and Cleverely getting injured in the fashion they have should clarify this for me. Alas, there's something sexy about a tackle from behind, stopping someone dead in their tracks. Shame!

The day they outlaw perfectly good tackles is the day I walk away from the game.

Rules have changed, Costa got retrospectively banned after he was booked against Arsenal.

Don't see how a ban would be justified here. Dier's tackle on Cleverley was just as bad, if not worse, and no sanctions were given.

Spurs though mate.

The media love the southerners, just look at Dier getting an England call up as well.

Dier is English, while McCarthy is Scottish. The premier league and FA will give the English players more leeway.

Maybe someone should be complaining to the F.A about how them bunch of Dot Cottons' have been given a brand new stadium,all thanks to the tax payer...

 

[Librarian]

The tax payer needs to step in here and give West Ham a new player

According to SSN sources, Bert Millichip has personally contaced Sir Trevor and asked the interfering cockwomble to sniff it.

Hope Trevor Brooking also asks if we can still get our penalty kick when he's at it.
