    3 match ban it is then, not surprised but dissapointed because of the inconsistency of the disciplinary procedures in general!

    I am extremely disappointed. He will be missed for the next 3 games which are vital games against those around us in the table. If it had been a top 4 club the FA would not have acted. How is it any worse than what Toure did. The system is farcical. IMO if the ref doesn't act at the time then that should be the end of it. Their inconsistency is incredible and now we could suffer as a result.

    Typical FArse, hope it doesn't cost us too much, I wonder if the club could sue for inconsistency.

    Was there any retrospective action taken when the Arsenal player threatened to gouge out Wilsons eyes? I'm trying to remember this action being used on a top half team instead of in their favour.
    It's not surprising but it is frustrating. Mostly for the inconsistency of the f.a.
    On a side note, are any other chairmen as outwardly critical of the fa as Coates? Maybe he should do his dealings behind closed doors.

    3 game ban deserved. Hope that teaches him a lesson, but probably not.
