    So Lukaku may face a 3 match ban? Missed the game but is this right?

    Repost from the Spurs board, cos I'm lazy:

    Romelu Lukaku has escaped a ban for an alleged kick on Brighton's Gaetan Bong, which is a player and not a nightclub, apparently:

    Alleged? <laugh> This is why I don't think that VAR will actually change anything.
    They'll use it to punish the Niasses of this world, not the Lukakus.
    Any guess on the three refs on that panel? I'm going with Howard Webb, Mark Clattenburg and Alex Ferguson.

    Manutd can do anything & buy anything. EPL is so biased & twisted.
    why wait for 38 rounds of matches. Just hand it over to them already FFS.

    First time I've seen it tbh.

    Outrageous that he's got away with it though, shocker of a decision!

    Surely there will be some retrospective action?

    I can see why the ref missed it at the time, but nobody's looking at that replay and saying it's not a red. That's ridiculous.
    He kicked out at him twice and caught him in the balls, FFS. How is that anything other than a sending off?
    Having said that, Foster kicked a ballboy in our game and nobody's even mentioning it, so what do I know? <laugh>

    Wasn't that what the decision they just made was about?

    I imagine it's going to be quite popular with some sections of the Brighton support and they'll be popular with the police! <laugh>
    You'd get searched every five minutes with that on your shirt.

    First time I'd seen the incident and only just picked up that he has got away with it scot free ... have to laugh ... Robert Huth got a 3 match retrospective at OT for tugging Fellaini's barnet and taking an elbow to the face in retaliation ... I've a suspicion that the elbow might have been a tad more dangerous but they got the same ban ... possibly because Fellaini's was a first offence of that nature, perhaps? <whistle>...

    I suspect that the average game with Fellaini and Huth going up against it each has more blows traded than a lot of heavyweight fights.
    I'm not sure if that's a criticism of the current boxing scene or that pair of dirty twats, to be honest. Bit of both, probably.

    ****ing ridiculous decision not to give Lukaku a ban. How more blatant does it need to be ?
