alexf Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Good statement. Agree with everyone else. If the player injured was more high profile and one of the media's darlings then there is no way this would of been swept under the carpet by the FA. Glad we're not just going to bend over and take it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crumpy Gunt Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Time for Ashley to get the lawyers in. An absolute ludicrous decision. Disgusting.

Wilson Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Callum McManaman will not be charged over his tackle on Newcastle's Massadio Haidara at the weekend. The Wigan forward caught Haidara on the knee with his follow-through during the second half of Sunday's 2-1 victory at the DW Stadium. Mark Halsey did not punish McManaman at the time, and replays suggested the referee was partially unsighted. But a statement from the Football Association confirmed that "because at least one of the match officials saw the coming together, though not the full extent of the challenge" no further action can be taken. The statement read: "Following consultation with the game's stakeholders in the summer, it was agreed that retrospective action should only be taken in respect of incidents which have not been seen by the match officials. "Where one of the officials has seen a coming together of players, no retrospective action should be taken, regardless of whether he or she witnessed the full or particular nature of the challenge. This is to avoid the re-refereeing of incidents. "In the case of McManaman, it has been confirmed that at least one of the match officials saw the coming together, though not the full extent of the challenge. In these circumstances retrospective action cannot be taken. "The principal objective behind the not seen policy is to address off the ball incidents where match officials are unlikely to be in a position to witness misconduct." McManaman will now be available for Wigan's FA Cup semi-final against Millwall next month. what a load of shit man, talk about covering their arses. wankers.

Guest Phil K Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 The double standards of the FA are staggering. Newcastle need to get a solicitor on this ASAP. I note Derek Lambias has made already attacked the FA saying it was the media NOT the FA who told him, and attacked the old senile delinquent Whelan as well To be fair, it isn't just us who are enraged over this. Talk Sport were furious too Andy Jacobs in particular Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heake Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Litigation is not the answer, in my opinion. Not sure how much of a shit I give about the moral high ground & that, but surely not many positives can be acheived by persuing a prolonged legal battle.

mrmojorisin75 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 http://www.nufc.co.uk/articles/20130319/newcastle-united-statement_2281670_3115111 There has been significant public reaction from media, industry figures and supporters to the tackle made by Wigan Athletic's Callum McManaman on Massadio Haidara during the first-half of our Premier League fixture on Sunday, 17th March, in particular comments made by Wigan's owner Dave Whelan. I have the greatest respect for Dave, who has been in the game for a long time as a professional footballer and now owner. I am also aware that Dave's career was cut short due to injury. I am therefore disappointed and surprised by the comments he made yesterday, in particular his assertion that the tackle by Callum McManaman "was a fair challenge". It is our strongly held opinion that the tackle on Massadio was extremely dangerous and is the type of challenge that has the potential to cause serious harm and such was the force, and reckless and dangerous nature of the challenge, even end a player's career. It was not a fair challenge. This view is shared by countless former players, referees and well-respected media commentators. Indeed it appears to be only Dave Whelan who takes a contrary view. We are disappointed to learn that the FA is not going to charge the Wigan player. We were first notified of this decision by a national media outlet who received notification from the FA confirming the decision. This was prior to anyone from the FA having the courtesy to contact the Club to let us know. It is clear from this decision that the current disciplinary procedures are not fit for purpose. Newcastle United, along with other clubs, have had players suspended for incidents reviewed after the game. Whilst not trivialising these incidents, they were not, in our opinion, of the seriousness of Callum McManaman's tackle on Haidara. Whilst we understand that the current procedures give the FA limited options, it cannot be correct that the most serious offences - those which have the potential to cause another player serious harm - can go unpunished, even if the original incident was seen by match officials. We will now be making a strong representation to the FA and the Premier League to see how a more appropriate, fair and even-handed disciplinary process can be introduced at the earliest opportunity to prevent incidents of this nature going unpunished in the future. Our attentions at this time are firmly with Massadio. He only joined us in January, but in that short time he has impressed us immensely both on and off the field. Massadio was scanned yesterday and will continue to be assessed for the remainder of the week. He will undergo a further scan next week in order to determine the extent of the damage caused. Contrary to comments in the media, there is currently no timescale for his recovery. We would like to thank our fans for their heart-felt messages of support for Massadio. We are passing these messages on to him and we are sure they will help keep his spirits up. Good statement, that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
