Stifler Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 We should have Saylor dance infront of the ref and order Tiote to attack everyone. We should have Saylor deliberately score own goals when he plays for England. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benwell Lad Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Looks like the player has got off on a technicality. The fact that one of the linesmen (presumably the one on the same touchline) got some kind of a view of the incident, even if it wasn’t a complete one, means there’s no retrospective punishment. I understand the principle of not re-refereeing incidents, but I suspect that the linesman saw the clash but couldn’t see precisely where McManaman’s foot was making contact with Haidara. To me, that’s the same as not seeing the incident. There is indeed a principle, but this was quite extraordinary and should have been treat accordingly.

Adam Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Disgusting, who cares if the ref saw it, its a fucking disgusting challenge.

Guest Slippery Sam Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 If Wigan do stay up then we should forfeit the game at their place.

K the Sun got it wrong CALLUM McMANAMAN will NOT be punished by the FA for his shocking studs-up hack on Massadio Haidara. The Wigan bruiser put Newcastle’s Haidara in hospital with the lunge during the Latics’ 2-1 win on Sunday. McManaman escaped punishment during the game with referee Mark Halsey admitting he did not see the tackle. It had been expected that McManaman would face restrospective action from the FA. Yet the Scot is in the clear after he was today told that FA bosses will NOT punish him — because at least one official DID see the incident. The FA said: “The FA can confirm that no action can be taken against Wigan’s Callum McManaman retrospectively following his side’s game against Newcastle United on Sunday 17 March 2013. “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 Callum 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.” The decision has been slammed by Newcastle’s managing director Derek Llambias, who insists changes to the disciplinary process are now essential. The Toon chief also questioned Wigan chairman Dave Whelan’s claim that the challenge was “fair”. He said in a statement: “We are disappointed to learn that the FA is not going to charge the Wigan player. “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.” In relation to Whelan’s remarks, Llambias added: “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.” Read more: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/4849912/Callum-McManaman-to-escape-punishment.html#ixzz2O0NPfzFh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 The reasoning behind them not taking action is complete bullshit. The linesman didn't see the incident in its entirety. Surely, that should be reason enough to revert to replays? They want to avoid 're-refereeing' so as not to belittle referees on the pitch in future. But when the ineptitude is as frequent as it currently is, it renders the whole 'respect the refs' campaign pretty pointless, because they haven't earned anyone's respect. You can't help but think that if the victim of the challenge was a more high-profile player, the FA would have a different viewpoint. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
