    FA to investigate the elbowing, although beckford was booked for it. Surely if they punish Beckford they must re-investigate Morgan!!

    FA investigating Beckford clash

    Published Date: 10 February 2009
    The Football Association has confirmed that it is investigating Jermaine Beckford's altercation with Millwall goalkeeper David Forde – having earlier appeared to rule out further disciplinary action against the Leeds United striker.
    Beckford was seen elbowing Forde in the face during the second half of last night's League One match between Leeds and Millwall at Elland Road.

    The forward, who scored twice in United's 2-0 win, was shown a yellow card for the offence by referee Alan Wiley, and the Football Association initially announced that Wiley's original decision would stand, apparently ruling out further repercussions.

    But a spokesman for the governing body has subsequently confirmed to the YEP that the FA is now reviewing Beckford's actions after receiving additional information in Wiley's match report.

    See tomorrow's Yorkshire Evening Post for the full story

    I'll be pissed off either way

    Beckford should get further punishment and I'll be pissed off if the FA once again absolve themselves of responsibility.
    However, if they do punish him I'll be pissed off that he got punishment whilst Morgan didn't.

    I guess I'll go for the punishment as
    1. Two wrongs don't make a right
    2. Gives BFC a case to bring the Morgan thuggery up again.
