Chelsea win their appeal, but Boro lose theirs despite Lampard's offence being worse.

Big club, small club.

Regardless of the boro situation that is a ridiculous decision, presumably now you can lash out at, kick and stamp on an opponent and you will get your red card rescinded. Surely players could appeal now using that as precedent.

Do the FA have to give a reason?? Intersting to know why it was rescinded, other than because its Lumpalard and Chelsea.

What i don't get from that is they just randomly extend Aliadiere's ban as though to say Boro have just wasted their time!

I thought it was a harsh sending off at the time.

 

Anybody that was at Easter Road saw a guy do worse on Lee Miller and only get a yellow.

IMO they should both have been booked but I can see why the linesman saw it as a red card.

 

Awful decision by the FA.

That decision is frivilous!

Predictable.

There's too much money involved in Lampard being out for a game or two.

The Premier League is even better at looking after the "big 4" than we are with C & R.

The worst tng about the Aliadiere thing was that Benayoun (at another big club) went unpunished despite doing a lot worse. This is a disgrace and the FA have lost all integrity over it

You are spot on john, I never thought I'd see the day, but when even Phil "biased as frigg" Thompson comes out on Sky saying that the big 4 get all the decisions, you have to feel it's out of hand.
