They have select memory

Probably done it so dont have to admit thingy made a mistake.Probably hasn't helped the former ref chief bloke has come out and said he needed a rest and was shite and showed them up in a way.Daft 2 match ban

Media know much as we do plus we have till today to submit evidence so its just them creating headlines.extra ban wouldnt make sense in this case

He's 4th offical on Saturday though so not completly demoted out

They didnt so much go on about the head butt more the bite that never happened!Heres proof...erm no! The standard has been so dire of late.Liverpool getting a pen for headball when hit the player on the head.Mean last season look what happened with us against Arsenal sent wrong bloke off.If cant get the basics right...

The Mail went completely mental over the Ivanovic incident,different angles etc.Then with Costa different opions.This however more focus on Matic shove and Jose.Just ahhhh be nice to have a balance.Thing is if he had broken it then what.He gets off scot free because it wasnt seen or whatever bollocks.Costa wasnt seen yet played back and volia ban straight away

He doesn't play for Chelsea though.They're hardly gana want to show that actually he did get it wrong and Jose was right in everything he said.Also seemed that one was turned over the evening of the following day.This probably drag out and be nahhhh.Depends who sees it I guess

Be surprised if that even happens...that push could've been damaging.The FA do dont common sense most the time

There were calls for Ivanovic to be banned for his bite and whatever other bollocks was meant to have taken place...no way is this getting overturned

Woops double

From BBC:Former chief but still Martin Atkinson needs a rest after his "incompetent" officiating display in Chelsea's 1-1 draw with Burnley, says former referees' chief Keith Hackett. Saturday's game was Atkinson's 32nd of the season and came fewer than 72 hours after he took charge of Real Madrid's Champions League win at Schalke. His next game in charge is Southampton against Crystal Palace on 3 March. Hackett said: "Champions League games are tiring. Martin should have been given an additional day to recover." Atkinson won't referee a game this weekend, but there is a shortened Premier League fixture list because of the Capital One Cup final. However, he is fourth official at Manchester United's home game against Sunderland on Saturday. Blues boss Jose Mourinho said Atkinson got four key decisions wrong. Atkinson sent off Chelsea midfielder Nemanja Matic for pushing Ashley Barnes to the ground in the 70th minute of Saturday's game. But Hackett, who was head of Professional Game Match Officials Limited until 2010, said Barnes had already made two challenges worthy of red cards. Having not been sanctioned for an aerial clash with Branislav Ivanovic, the Burnley forward caught Matic on his left shin with his studs showing, prompting the Serb's angry response. Barnes will face no disciplinary action by the Football Association for the challenge on Matic. The Serb will miss Sunday's Capital One Cup final against Tottenham unless Chelsea successfully appeal against a three-match suspension. Hackett said Atkinson's performance was "one of the worst" he has seen, adding: "It was an incompetent display. "I feel sorry for the Chelsea player because he has reacted to a leg-breaking challenge. Never mind a cup final, that could have cost him his career. "There is no place in the game for challenges like that and it should have been punished." Atkinson has refereed more Premier League games than any other official this season. Hackett added: "Send Martin to a hotel somewhere, just as Liverpool did with Raheem Sterling." ut of media player. Press enter to return or tab to continue. Hes 4th offical for man u game saturday

Considering how quick costa got banned be quickest no ever.doubtful be over turned as they wont admit he got it wrong and jose is right.be only decison we get if they do.not that we get any anyway

Nope.The media also made a huge thing out of Ivanovic's 'bite' yet with this all about Jose's rant and Matic's response.Not much said about why he lashed out Doubt we'll appeal.No way will it get over turned and luck we're having probably end up with a extra ban.

Thats the thing.Managers get fined for making the comments yet the refs make the decisons that can be costly and effect a team but dont give a shit

With the support and backing he has got from pundits etc banning him be daft.End of the day should be allowed to say what he means without their interference.If they want to play a part sort out the sodding refs.Again today poor performance and yet thats all fine to them yet to teams effected damage done.He shouldnt have to explain his comments as they're pretty damn clear

'In this moment he [Wenger] has a dream job that we would all love to have. Every manager in the world would love to have stability he has year after year with a chance to buy, to sell, to rebuild, to wait for success... and wait and wait. I think he has dream job.' Pretty much what he said before when going on about using more youth players.Wait and wait though lol

Hahahha!!!

Southampton should've had a penalty...good refs......

Intresting how the mail have tried to make a huge deal about what he said about Wenger...'Jose takes a swipe'..erm he really didnt

If City win at Anfield next week then they're only 2 points behind.Like said we dont play game in hand till the end of April so who knows what difference it could make.Hopefully Liverpool can do us a favour

Hopefully otherwise looking at a 2 point gap.however play like yesterday.newcastle didnt play that bad just city made it look so easy

Nope was Kane.Look at the response Rooney got from likes of Hodgson...yet been Costa or anyone been slated

Look at Rooney.Some swan dive shit and yet pen.Yet excuses made and its fine because he's english

Wouldnt be surprised if they do ban him but pathetic if they do.He's entitled to say what he wants or should be anyway.They should look at why the comments were made!Its daft that managers get banned for their opinions..then get fined for not speaking post match when no doubt what they say would end in a ban anyway.End of the day sod all to do with them and the fact he's been backed from so many should say something.Its not just him having a moan
