"there is no basis on which an additional charge could be brought"

I'm struggling to get my head round this. Have they looked at the video? I've got visions of those spineless cnuts with their fingers in their ears going 'la-la-la-la-la...not listening....not listening'. It just beggars belief. The evidence is so completely and unequivocally damning that it's crystal clear there's something underhand going on here.

 

I've been struggling to understand the very same sentence.

Conspiracy theories are born from such in-action.

 

RE: I've been struggling to understand the very same sentence.

Drogba threw the coin, got a yellow but the FA still banned him for 3 games for violent conduct?

Why, because the referee had the guts to admit that he didn't see the coin throw, he got booked for approaching the away fans.

Thatcher got booked but the got banned for 10 games by the FA.

Why, because the referee had the guts to admit that he got it wrong & he should have sent him off.

 

Micky, what have your colleagues

at the BBC had to say off camera about "the incident" ?

 

To a man, absolutely appalled.

Even more so by the FA's spineless cowardice. Getting anything on-air is a different kettle of fish.

 

All the lads in our car going to the game last night were talking about this, saying it's nonsense.

We'd all played at a reasonable standard and, as everyone agreed, you know when a player is out to "do" someone.

It's scandalous that the FA say there is no basis for additional charges but maybe it's best if it's not dealt with "in-house" anyway. Just because it happened on a football pitch doesn't make you exempt from the law and at the end of the day is still an assault which can be actioned by the relevent authorities. All they'd need to do is play the video in court, no need to say anything.

Funny how the PFA choose to ignore this as well imo. They, more than most, know when a fellow pro is out to hurt another of their members. Wouldn't want to damage the good name of the PFA though by admitting one of their members carried out this attack though would they. Cowards.

The only people who see nothing wrong with this incident are Sheff Utd linked (for obvious reasons) and now the FA - which maybe their way of a little payback to SUFC over the "Tevezgate" affair? Who knows?

 

Thought that would be the case.

How on earth can anyone with a brain cell not see that the intent was there?



It can be argued that Chris Morgan did not intend such a serious injury to occur, but his stance as Iain Hume was coming for the ball is not a natural one of a player about to jump for a 50/50 ball. He intended to "rough up" Iain to either make him think twice about going into further challenges or to inflict a knock to take him out of the rest of the game.

 

and sheff utd doing their best to sweep it under the carpet

all they are bothered about it getting promotion - any which way they can. They dont give 2 hoots about hume or what morgan has done. They are probably pissing themselves at how they have got away with it.

 

Spineless

If they won't govern the game then who will?

 

thats the head and tail of it - im sure people have been knifed in similar circumstances

thinking a cut would suffice and its ended up killing them.

try explaining that in a court of law - well i didnt mean to kill them - only scare them.

If a player goes in with the elbow they know the risks of serious injury - therefore imho its intetntional unless their arms are in the air as they jump. In this case it couldnt be more obvious.

 

To get something on air...

... surely you don't have to "judge" this incident, but merely highlight the inconsistencies that are occurring match by match !

It seems that most football pundits are towing the FA line re: the Respect campaign - pointing the finger at the managers for highlighting the mistakes of the referees and having a flawed appeals system.

It's about time that the Respect campaign is shown up for the one-sided failure that it is !

 

that's the problem though

They are just as spineless as the FA, in private they will condemn the challenge but in public it is only little old barnsley and they daren't rock the boat.

They've had no issues about speaking out on the BBC when big name players have been involved yet a small club and they daren't say a thing.
