So the fact that the man who was supposedly spit at denied that Boyd had done so means nothing at all? Though it is no surprise. I expected his appeal to be turned down.
The sad thing is this is in no small part down to Allam and his ridiculous outburst. Petty ****ers at the FA just finding any excuse to have a cheap shot back at him. What an utter shambles of a situation.
I said on another thread that the push on Boyd was a pen, whereas Liverpool were given a penalty for the same offence, and said there is one law for the big boys and one for the others, seems I was right. What a load of bollacks.
Not unexpected. But that doesn't mean it isn't a wrong decision, and a biased decision, and a travesty.
Sliding doors scenario shows he gets let off then pulls a hamstring on Saturday. At least he'll be fresh for Wembley, although as CTWD apparently have the ear of the FA can't someone have a word?
oh well we will have to play quinn in his role.. nevermind If it was Livermore or Huddlestone or Long or Jelavic.. I could understand ppls reaction. But he is an impact player off the bench. some of you have got a chip on your shoulder.
What was the difference in Hart putting his forehead to Boyds face and Pardew's incident ? - not a lot in my opinion.
More than an fecking joke. The fact that Hart said he did not spit just sums up the faceless and clueless wonkers @ the FA and the disaplinary panel. The fact that they think that what Hart and Kompany did is acceptable is also a disgrace. What happened to setting examples. ? But i am not surprised. The FA are simply not fit for purpose. End of. 100% correct ^^^^^ this. Agreed John. Look at the penalty that RVP got last night for Man Utd. Was that any different to the push on Boyd last saturday ? answer No.!! Big clubs as Adam Johnson has mentioned re.England get the verdict. So am i. At least Boyd is free for Wembley when we shall need him. We have enough for now and it will give Quinniesta a chance at long last. Some good has come from really bad.
WBA also missing a key player. Defender Jonas Olsson starts a 2 game ban tomorrow. Wba also missing the following :- Diego Lugano - Billy Jones - Claudio Yacoub and Morgan Amalfitano. With Nik Anelka now sacked they are down to the bare bones.
