Forgetting Man U bashing for a minute. The sad part of all this is that you can bet that across the country, on Sunday, a number of young players in under 11/under 14 matches etc got one of those in the face, as seen on TV. That is where it is shameful for the FA to let it go. We hear about all the "back to grassroots" efforts of the FA yet they show only cowardice when top flight events like this occur.
Where can justice and consistency possibly be achieved from the rules as they are? Can you imagine in life if the same law was applied? A policeman saw a man slapping another on the back and running away. The policeman pursued the attacker and gave him a street caution. Meanwhile, back at the scene of the crime it turns out it wasn't a slap, there was a knife in the attackers hand and the victim is now dead. Because the policeman has dealt with the incident at the time, the caution stands and the man cannot be tried for murder...
Absolute cowardly nonsense.
