NO ACTION to be taken against Ashley Barnes as it was seen by Martin Atkinson. This is where the rules are ****ed up. The FA should be able to take action regardless.
 
*shakes head*

This was a chance for the FA to say, "look, we can't have that in our game - here's a three game ban" .... pitiful excuse of a governing organization.

Shocking decision, I know the rules are rules but surely this would be an exceptional case?

Making an exceptional case to a rule everyone knows leaves you open to be sued.
 
The Sun (I know!!) Are reporting that the referees assessor report said Martin Atkinson got all 4 decisions right...

Yep. they had a photo of the assessor's report. The assessor.........a former Southampton FC youth team coach. Steve something (can't remember his surname).
 
One paper I picked up yesterday, can't remember which one it was, had graham poll as a referee expert. Put the paper down immidiately, not taking a view from someone who booked someone 3 times before sending them off. Match report of saints game also written by martin samuel, didn't bother with the first line.
