This is the same FA who saw it fit and had the nerve to appeal Rooney's red for a blatantly kicking the Serbian player in England's final Euro qualifier.
Their blatant hypocrisy is astounding. Utterly corrupted to the core. They make me angry. c*nts.
First, this doesn't concern the FA at all. The rules are the rules, it was a blatant sending off and they upheld that. Case closed.
Second, how is that corrupt and/or hypocritical? So all of us calling at the time for appealing against Suarez's bite were hypocritical and corrupt? Or even the racism charge? Leave aside those that argued that it shouldn't have been a foul because there were "no marks on the skin / even my nan can bite harder than that", which is utterly brainless, isn't it the same thing - employer considers appeal to reduce sentence for employee in order to better its chances in a footballing competition.
Take note also that at no time did the FA contend it was not a red. Their position was that it was a red but the sentence should be mitigated, which it eventually was. What allowed them to do this was the fact that UEFA practices a sliding scale for offenses, unlike the FA where violent conduct is an automatic three match ban.
