    Anyway, looks like Clattenburg has got wind of the decision

    Still haven't forgiven Keith Hackett

    I'm going to go with 9. Arsenal get to play with 12 players after a 2-4-1 half time substitution and no one bothers to count or notice

    ;hmm

    First paragraph, refers to refs judging tackles.

    But it wasn't a tackle was it. There were 2 players competing for the ball that was there to be won.

    So I'm already a bit ;hmm about the article.

    Para 3 'it took a commission 3 days to announce'

    The writer has phrased it in a way that tries to give a negative view of the length of time it took, as a way of criticising the FA...

    .. but it can't take less, on account of the established schedule to allow time for the ref's report to be submitted, and the time allowed to the appealing Club to submit its evidence. And then then the panel has to be convened, according to the normal routine, assess the evidence and reach a decision. And then the FA has to put out its press release.

    So not sure how the timescale is in any way relevant to the argument he is building...



  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Although, I though it had to be unanimous - the writer of the article seems to say it can be a majority.

    ;hmm Will have to investigate.
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    One wonders if we actually lodged an appeal or whether it was rescinded by the panel without our appeal.

    No, there has to be an appeal.

    They don't have a panel that just reviews all reffing decisions and rights wrongs pro-actively.

    Also as per the club announcement
    West Ham United can confirm that a Football Association Regulatory Commission has upheld the Club’s claim for wrongful dismissal in respect of the red card shown to Cheikhou Kouyate against Crystal Palace.

    Must have been a great disappointment for Mr Sam Wallace (the author of the article) - he claims neutrality but a quick perusal of his 'previous' suggests that he is a Gooner through and through. He used to be correspondent on the Independant until his boss moved to the Telegraph and hired him to replace Henry Winter (who has moved on to the Times).
    If you can be bovvered check out some of his old stuff - he don't like us!
    Oh - and his article is absolute uninformed tripe. ;wink

    Checked behind the sofa and can't find any bothered there. It's probably all in a cupboard in the "thankyoutaxpayer stadium"
  • ironmike44ironmike44
    Oh and ......... He (Sam Wallace), really doesn't have much of a background in 'football' - for most of his working life he is described as a news correspondent. He left uni with an English Lit. Degree and went to work, initially at the Telegraph as an office boy (sorry newsroom trainee).
    But - he did say, when somebody bothered to interview him "I have always liked football" - so that's alright then.

    When you see this tackle, see that the ref saw it and deemed it not to be a foul, then I don't see how I can have any faith in today's refs:

  • ironmike44ironmike44
    Preston - but Gabriel is an Arsenal player - so that must be a perfectly legitimate tackle - I just don't think you understand. ;wink
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    Sam Wallace [Telegraph] thinks the red card being rescinded is to do with political wheeler dealings within the FA.

    Referee Mark Clattenburg is again hung out to dry by the FA after key decision is overturned...

    Did Wallace write a piece on why Vardy never received a yellow, or more, for his tackle on Davis in the Southampton game?
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    No ;whome

    Not allowed to say anything negative about Leicester or it's players..
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    Oh sorry. Forgot about that ;doh
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    That's ok. Just don't do it again.

    Just seen the Lazio v Roma game - the ref was utterly shocking - at least SIX straight mistakes all obvious and three of them leading directly to goals , don't think even clatters could have managed that

    Talking about refs....if we should progress to the semi final of FA cup...
    Ref appointed : Everton v West Ham / Man Utd...

    Anthony Taylor ( this is not a belated Aprils fools ).... ;run

    I read that wrong.
    We need 8. Goal disallowed that should have been given.

    sad to say Moojor wins, as this is now 5 in a row, what rubbish can we expect at the Manure game

    Referee will rule-out our final penalty in the penalty shoot-out for offside.

    We head the power rankings but are now -11 on the rubbish calls from the official's rankings.
  • NEoldironNEoldiron
    That is way beyond a joke now. If I were the DDs I would be lobbying the FA about this obvious prejudice against us. ;angry
