And because the linesman did see the incident the FA are unable to take retrospective action. Now in the long sequence of things: QPR are in a relegation battle with Wigan. Wigan won the game partly due to McManaman not being sent off for the tackle. McManaman not being sent off also means he's free to play against QPR. Norwich's goalkeeper got sent off and they've appealed against it and lost. His suspension is being served against Wigan. Norwich's goalkeeper against Wigan will be Lee Camp, the former QPR player.
