http://www.itv.com/sport/football/article/2012-08-13/ivanovic-escapes-ban/ Ivanovic will escape a ban due to the change in ruling by the FA before the match regarding player suspensions in Community Shield matches. Before deluded WUMs claim FA bias towards Chelsea (which couldn't be more wrong) remember Arsenal had Reyes sent off in the 2005 FA Cup Final yet under the new FA ruling was allowed to play against us in the Community Shield but not for any of the first few league games Great news to have Brana available anyway
"As the rule change covered all non-competitive pre-season fixtures" So the Community Shield was a non competitive fixture then? Someone should have told the players...
Seems like Ivanovic will be banned after all. http://www.thefa.com/TheFA/Disciplinary/SuspensionLists/PlayersAwaitingSuspension.
