    ....for David Moyes to be punished for his verbal attack on Howard Webb after there game with Chelsea. He even pushed 1 of the linesman in the back as they left the pitch.

    Now I have nothing against Everton or David Moyes, I am just highlighting an incident that is at the very least on the same level as SAFs confrontation with Mike Dean. Yet there is very little if any media interest in this incident.

    Why isn't everyone up in arms about this incident, claiming Moyes should be punished, in the same way they were asking for SAF to be punished?

    Just goes to prove the media, and the majority of football fans have an agenda against us:biggrin:

    He's apologised to him. Not heard of Ferguson doing the same.

    Fergie didn't need to, the officials said he wasn't abusive to them and the FA confirmed that he hadn't broken the games laws hence the reason they didn'tpunish him, yet the media still panned him for it.

    Dean didn't seem to think Fergie did anything wrong so what should he be apologizing for? It's not his fault the media in this country made this one of the biggest stories of the week, none of them even know exactly what he said but they are condemning him for it anyway.

    That isn't what I said. As far as I'm concerned, no manager or player should be able to get away with that sort of behaviour. It doen't happen in either code of rugby or cricket.

    In Cricket they scream at the umpire every time they appeal, in an attempt to put pressure on him to give the batsman out :biggrin:
