Stonewall penalties turned down in favour of City (no surprises) and United. The PL officials doing their duty it seems.

Any news on Gomis? Didn't look good at all, but I heard he was conscious when he left the ground.

[TheOneChan95 225]

Holy shit Pellegrini has dropped Kompany. Should have did it weeks ago, but it clearly a sign of a man on the way out. No way he keeps his job.

I wonder if we could put a cheeky bid in for him

Evans and Cisse.

Evans and Cisse.

pundits call cisse vile and Evans a good boy who was only spitting on the ground ...

Both pathetic, spitting in another mans face is the lowest of the low.

Two of the biggest myths in English football right now are playing for the same team......Di Maria and Falcao.

[Jase 43,479]

So, spitting at someone is much worse than committing a reckless challenge on a player. What a joke!

I agree this is ridiculous. I'd rather they get slapped with a 2 match ban and fined 2 weeks of wages or something. Dangerous tackles are the thing that really need to be cut out

Let's not also forget that Suarez got an eight-game ban for making racist comments to Evra. This is only one less than that. So, to the FA, the severity of the offences are similar despite one being more serious than the other.

Reckless challenges or gobbing ?

You have to think what tarnishes the game to their precious TV audiences the most. What worries them the most in terms of losing subscribers, and ultimately money ?

Some armchair fan sitting cosily at home is more likely to have their delicate sensibilities disturbed by the sight of green phlegm, than a crunch 'manly' tackle. That is why the authorities give out such draconian punishments for gobbing and want it erased from the (TV) game.

2 years ago can you imagine a team that had Juan Mata, Di Maria, RVP, Falcao and Rooney.

Now, this team is fighting for 4th place.

Like I've said before...political correctness. Same reason Matic got banned for a push, while Barnes got away scot free

[xPetrCechx 13,565]

Evans Didn't Accept the charge and got 6 matches ban.

Cisse Accepted the charge and apologized and got 7 matches ban.

Really?!

The mighty FA strikes again!

[Laylabelle 9,411]

Errm surely you go on when the game is over...someone nabbed a flag

Stupid ref decisions again

[nadavTKL 1,787]

wtf Vila just won the World Cup?

[Laylabelle 9,411]

How bizarre!get big deal but not like they've never got to the semis before
