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.

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.

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

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.

If that part is true then how can he have been classed as seeing the fucking challenge then.  FA are fucking us over yet again.
