FA appeals

One rule for Leeds, one rule for everyone else.

Also have you noticed manc scooom lost at home yesterday & there is no sign of it on the beeb at all

not to me, they don't

selective justice and journalism............you couldn't make it up.
maybe if Leeds Appeal the FA will give us 15 points

2020 me neither

It all comes under the fact that Austin's decision was fully seen by the referee, and it was of the referees opinion that is used excessive force and was therefore deemed Serious Foul Play. The Laws of the Game states many times, "If in the opinion of the referee...." and that meant that if the referee had fully seen it then the FA were powerless. They've added a rule in now that allows them to do more for this season.

". They've added a rule in now that allows them to do more for this season."

that's us fooked then

Austin's was off the ball, although it wasn't that bad! I got booked for doing the exact! same thing last week during a 6 aside game.

Calderon deservedly got sent off tho but he did go for the ball despite missing it.

'Going for the ball' is the same as intent, and despite popular belief, intent isn't mentioned in the laws. The only requirement for a tackle to be deemed SFP is that it uses excessive force. If it's reckless then it's a caution and if it's careless then it's just a foul.
