Dirty Barsteward! Just elbowed the Millwall keeper straight in the face and only got a yellow card off so called premiership referee Alan Wiley. Be interesting to see if the FA do anything about it.
Unless it's 'exceptional circumstances'. Like Ben Thatcher smashing Pedro Mendes in the head, but not Chris Morgan.
Yes mate the evidence is dammning. The commentators said the officials hadnt seen it, if that is the case why did he get a yellow card
Letter to the FA if he's not banned for that Asking how they can justify the 3-game ban for Wright-Phillips and nothing for Morgan and Beckford. The rule's an ass and needs to be changed with immediate effect.

Beckford been charged by the FA http://www.leedsunited.com/page/LatestNewsDetail/0,,10273~1553280,00.html (Sorry for the link - maybe NSFW)
With regard to Leeds United's game against Millwall at Elland Road on Monday February 9, the Football Association have issued the following statement... "The FA have confirmed that Jermaine Beckford has been charged under FA Rule E3 (violent conduct) for an incident on the field of play which falls within Law 12 - Not seen by the match officials but caught on video. "The FA have been advised by the match referee that Jermaine Beckford was cautioned for a pushing incident that occured prior to the incident involving the Millwall goalkeeper. "The participant has been offered the penalty of a three match suspension. "The participant has until 6pm on Thursday 12th February 2009 to admit or deny the charge. "A Regulatory Commission will hear the charge on Friday 13th February 2009." Football is f.cked.
Fuseini got away with a booking for an elbow on Robinson at the end of the first half. Don't suppose that will be followed up though.
Law 12 - Not seen by the match officials but caught on video. why didnt that apply to Morgans assault on Hume then? someone enlighten me please...
It's a fecking disgrace how they can charge Beckfod for the elbow even though he was cautioned during the match and yet take no action against that thug Chris Morgan
D'Urso would not change his stance on it. Looked again at the vid and was happy with a yellow card according to my sources within the FA.
