FA have dismissed Barton's appeal

[maverick69]

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!

They are a bit like the FIA (motorsport) when Max Mosely was in charge. A few hours after a race that Lewis Hamilton had won, they introduced a new rule that effectively disqualified him, handing the victory to a Ferrari driver (Massa).

Now that's creative!

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

"Paul Mason" isnt an alias of Rowan Vine is it?!

Was that refs first game... Were always going to back him

And hope it was his last, he would be out of his depth at sunday league level he was that bad.

I wonder what the FA would do if Johnson came out and said Joey never touched him?

[Shania]

Politicians!!

Well if it did happen, those on the appeals committee should be sacked, as should the officials of that game.

[AgsQPR]

Considering it's us fans who support the organisation you would think the least they could do after ruining 15000 peoples Bank Holiday Monday is explain why if the incident was seen by any of the officials why there was no immediate flag or stoppage in play? Spineless.

It's Aris my friend, as in Aristotle=Bottle, bottle and glass=a*se

[MattyRangers]

Cant quite understand how this can be appealed and reduced:



Yet this, an incident neither the lino nor the ref saw, wont:



1 rule for some, another for the others eh. Spineless spineless people.

Typical spineless F.A double standards Joey banned for 3 games didn't hurt anyone, yet they can appeal for Wayne Rooney when he clearly kicks out at an opponent, because it suits them to have him at the euro's. Also the same reason a Mr Terry will get off his racial abuse charge?

[Dale]

These guys have no shame, they carry on like some untouchable mafia

[scuberry]

To be expected really,FA have no backbone,Johnson escapes playacting and so giving licence for the cheats to continue,this is what's ruining our game unfortunatley,NW was right,the appeals procedure is pointless !!
