Horror Tackle by McManaman

[Factamondo]

Some people question why I go on my twitter & slate The FA at every turn. Every football fan knows that should of been punished.

The FA are a disgrace. England belongs to The FA & that's why I hate England too. I'm not support The FA

with you on this score....im a patriot but the england football team n its fa bosses can go f uck themselves...hope they dont qualify for brazil !!

i havnt seen it was it bad?

almost as bad as your'e dress sense in chelmsford!

The FA have now charged Newcastle's John Carver for his reaction at half time.

Utterly spineless from the FA to not punish that tackle, and to then charge Carver in addition is scandalous tbf

Their excuse that an official saw the incident (but not the extent of the challenge) and therefore they can't do anything would be possibly excusable, had they not ignored this in the past (Thatcher on Mendes for example)

And people are confused as to why crowds are dwindling ? FA make me feel sick with anger !

Jesus - you really think crowds are dwindling because the FA aren't that popular?

WOW.

Regarding the incident - they have followed the rules. Change rules mid season would be farcical and start the ball rolling for chaos.

Referee should have been suspended then if he says he saw it, didn't even give a free kick for the challenge. If you see that challenge and you don't give a free kick then you shouldn't refereeing an under 8's game let alone in the Premier League!

Can't understand how Dave Whelan can call it a fair challenge and it was only the follow through that caught him. McManaman's foot was high and nowhere near the ball. Think if he saw this he'll probably regret what he said:

dont think he would have called it a fair challenge if it had happened to his player!!!!

lets give this kid some real stick he and his inbred club deserve!

this & Fellaini's headbutt just shows how disproportionate Joey's ban was.... FA are a joke, as corrupt as any institution in this country

but they are only harming themselves, good technical players will not want to come to the prem to get their careers ended by some gyppo

[Stanley]

Seems Newcastle are now left with no alternative but to pursue legal avenues, which I'm sure was a last resort but it seems they have no alternative due to FA's total incompetence.

Can you imagine if it was Joey Barton who made that challenge. The media and every league manager would of been crying out for him to be kicked out or sacked. Another case of those ****s at FA making another c0ck up.

Exactly what me n the old man were discussing the other day. They would be calling for him to be hung drawn & quartered.
