Well done mate. You'll understand just how incompetent the FA are.

Yep, It was a big financial risk, as if I lost I would have done my £200 deposit and would have had to pay costs for the three man committee who came from Brighton, Ipswich and Leicester.

Did they pay your costs?

[Jeffro]

What type of player are you Paul? I would say your a right winger in the mould of Tony Scully, nippy with a thunderbolt shot

I cant remember if you want the truth but I dont think they did, it's as if they load everything against you financially, to prevent you from appealing to the English FA, from a county level.

As i said in other post, draw against dons and he will be available for Wigan!!!

Oh well. At least he can sit amongst the fans at his beloved Newcastle then...Sky Sports must be gutted. I bet that was one of the reasons they picked this game...

Why is it that many in the game, including ex-players and refs have backed Joey over this, yet the FA seem to take a different view?

[willis1980]

What a bunch of farking wallies, who makes these decisions? Seems to me like they havent even sat down and looked at all the evidence (all you have to do is look at photos of the incident to see who the aggressor was where youll see johnson snarling at JB). Shrug off John Terry incident to CPS. ABSOLUTE JOKE, and then they have the cheek to moan about FIFA when theyre just as inept.

I was actually, but mainly I was the scorer and maker of many fine goals, but now just a lardy has been with memories.

[loftlag]

We've no evidence Joe the ref never saw it the lino never saw it but you are are as guilty as sin cos we have to back up the men that never saw anything

[QPR Richard]

FA rules state violent conduct is a sending off and an automatic three match ban. When Rooney got sent off playing for England, the FA appealed against a rule that it's got itself!

[Norths]

Absolute disgrace.

We all know what the outcome would be if it was a Manchester Utd player.

Double standards over the Rooney euro ban aswell after the FA appealed that
