Nemanja Matic

[Fulham Broadway 16,916]

Only reason I think they are doing it is trying to delay the ban. Knowing the FA, they will know this and reject it.

It was a red though, but prefer to lose him for 3 games rather than 3/4 months because of a fracture or breakage

If everything has to go down. There is two ways, and Vertonghen's situation did us favours. If it is submitted as evidence, then FA have two choices. It's either removing the card, because Vertonghen when unpunished for the same thing. Or Vertonghen burns. If this situation hadn't happened, I had no hope. Lots of pundits said that Costa's stamp was intentional , that didn't help. Unless it is someone with a lot of strings, then no way, was that going to be on what we base our evidence. Hence, why we are submitting the appeal now, and not yesterday. Atleast, that's my opinion.

Just email the FA this link: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2894874/Wayne-Routledge-red-card-against-QPR-rescinded-referee-blunder.html

Ban rescinded. Everyone's happy.

Oh, wait, they want to teach Jose a lesson? They don't want him to think he's above them? 3 game ban + another game for the audacity of appealing.

Never going to win as it's us but worth a try. Knowing the cunts at the FA, they will probably add an extra game for a 'frivolous appeal'

[raven8472 32]

To me it was a yellow card offence at best and the referee failed in his basic duties to ensure fairness and protect the players.

If we're appealing that means he could be available for the COC final correct?

No Barnes punishment for foul on Chelsea's Matic

No action will be taken against Burnley striker Ashley Barnes for his challenge on Nemanja Matic, the Football Association have announced.

The Serbian midfielder was sent off for pushing Barnes after the forward caught Matic halfway up his leg.

The FA say they cannot take retrospective action as the incident was seen by the match officials, with Barnes receiving a booking for his part.

The incident was seen......what a fucking weak, lame arsed load of shite that is.

Haven't the FA changed their policies in the amount of time it takes for them to answer an appeal? We have to have our appeal in by Tuesday 1pm, so I imagine we will have an answer by Thursday.

This.

And how on earth can Atkinson deemed that leg-breaking tackle to be OK?!

[stroey 2,525]

It was from the FA's twitter account (see second link on the original post).

[Milan 17,859]

If the FA is okay with that horror tackle, how on earth can we succeed with the appeal?

This is beyond joke, seriously.

[Ryan Fong 2,776]

Guys, do yourselves a favor and don't ever give yourselves hope that the retard FA will hand us any beneficial decisions. I've given up already.

[bouletje 82]

We need vinnie Jones to come back just for one game to prove a point here.
