morla84 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Re-refereeing games would certainly take a lot of pressure off Ref's in my view rather than undermine them. As would a video review in a situation such as this. Mistakes wouldn't cause as much outrage by not getting dealt with at all and might actually improve the refereeing standards. Shame the Dinosaurs in charge can't see it what do you class as re-refereeing games ?going through every decision ? handing out retrospective yellow cards for a shirt pull ? it's not too bad as it is apart from the stupidity of whether the officials saw it or not when it's a violent incident. any violent incident that the officials miss or are deemed to have got wrong should be reviewed. No. Just major incidents such as this, I was using the FA's terminology, sorry for the confusion Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fifa agree apparently http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/9198568/Fifa-says-FA-could-take-retrospective-action-next-season.html That's from April 2012, following the Balotelli/Song incident, where FIFA told the FA they could change their rules about retrospective bans in summer 2012. As we have seen today, the FA clearly chose not to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeloEmre Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Just watching SSN Bunn's red upheld and will serve 3 match ban for handling outside the box, Zaha gets a 1 match ban for making a gesture to Leeds fans. Whereas McManaman gets fuck all.... 3 match ban for handling outside the box? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Cannot really add anything that isn't blatantly obvious to any sane mind, such a fucking ridiculous rule man. They actually ruled against being able to take retrospective action? Fucking useless cowards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Now I know what Taggart meant with his "wee club in the North East" jibe. Because had this have been Cleverly or Sterling or Wilshere or Caulker or Cahill or Rodwell in the receiving end, then a retrospective ban would have been dished out.

Village Idiot Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 FWIW, gotta say this has been posted about in the two Spanish football forums I frequent and people are pretty mystified about how the Wigan player got away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 It will not be safe for Mcmanaman to set foot on St James park for the rest of his career. Certainly not for the next couple of seasons especially. A sort of ban anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Venkman Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 We should pull out of the FA cup next season once the draw's been made, just say we didn't see it: FA: Chelsea v Newcastle United NUFC: Nah, don't think we'll bother with that thanks. FA: But you have to, it's been drawn. NUFC: Well we didn't see it. FA: We're showing it to you now, you're playing Chelsea. NUFC: But we didn't see it at the time. FA: It still stands, there it is. NUFC: Well we saw ourselves being drawn but we didn't see all of it, so we're not playing Chelsea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.S.R. Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 As Wigan fail to secure a win against Villa on the last day of the season, which puts them down on goal difference, the departing home fans find their way out of the ground blocked by the surreal sight of thousands of people dressed in Scooby Doo outfits doing the Harlem Shake.
