Sterling swipe, not punished

Add fellaini elbow (or should that be elbows)

Beginning to think some people may have a point with this media 'campaign'.

 

Highlighed this season after the continuous inaction against Liverpool's crimes last season. 

Looks like we'll have to get used to it. You can't win.

But guys, according to the FA we got a free kick for that stamp so nothing doing.

It's not the fact that Costa has been charged, it's the inconsistency. How the f**k were Aguero's or Toure's not punished? It's a stamp as well, just worse.

It all comes down to their sh*tty rules that if the ref saw it they can't do anything, because the refs are infallible.

That is precisely my gripe. I have NO problem with Costa's ban, but just look at that sh*t above.

The word stamp is a bit harsh for what happened, it was more a trample than a stamp.

 

Surely a stamp is when you accelerate your foot down onto the victim. Like Mr Aguero ^

Also toure kicking van wolfswinkel last season, and aguero stamping on Nolan this season. Can't find a video of either.

Let's not forget all the sh*t twat face Suarez got away with. Liverpool fans act like he was treated harsly but this prick got away with kicks, punches, raking studs down players achilles and pulling people's hair.

Apparently this was deemed to not be a red card offence by the fa.

Unbelievable.

That Ageuro one was far worse than the one last night, f**king disgusting.

Is there anyway we can bombard the FA with e-mails?

You can't take retrospective action for an offence that the ref sees and has already taken action on.

Apparently Aguero's stamp on Nolan was seen by the ref, ergo no action. Toure's 'kick' was reviewed but apparently the decision wasn't unanimous, something that Van Wolfswinkel was apparently happy with.

 

They did however ban Balotelli for four matches for a stamp on Scott Parker.

 

They also rescinded a red card that Kompany received against Arsenal, much like they did with a red card Lampard received against West Ham a few seasons back.

I know. I was mocking their silly rule about such a thing. They mentioned he wasn't charged because a free kick was given. Just seems a bit farcical when you look at it from the outside.

They just need a consistent set of rules in place, instead of making sh*t up as they go along. I mean it's a stamp they've dealt with it before it's not like when they had to come up with a new ruling here. I just want consitency like why wasn't Aguero charged for the one on Luiz years ago? I would love to go on a with all the video footage of stuff that went unpunished.

How about Wenger leaving his technical area to accost Jose? He got no touchline ban or charge whatsoever. Jose gets done for sarcasm and criticizing the media. The lack of consistency is the problem.

If Jose did what Wenger did, they'd throw the book at him.

I said it in the other thread…. I am as annoyed as any Chelsea fan and the potential punishment as it does not at all fit the crime. However, we can moan about inconsistency until the cows come home.

 

The FA have to take it on a case by case basis and a ref report  basis, they can’t even say draw a line in the sand now as you could sit 1000 experts in a room and I bet you get 50:50 split.

 

I am not saying calm down, I like the constructive comments. But looks like we have take it on the chin and maybe use it is a positive way. Like raise the atmosphere at The Bridge.
