This Evra ban.
Personally think it's an absolute disgrace and that we should, on principle appeal it. Trouble is, he's only gonna miss Stoke and Boro in the leage and so pragmatically it might be worth taking the ban on the chin. Who the £#%&! the FA are to decide matter like whether Evra was racially abused or what his response should have been I don't know.

It makes you think, if our ground staff started a scuff with say Steven Gerrard after a game do you think the same thing would happen? And if so might unscrupulous clubs start hiring fighty types as groundsmen to kick off with promotion/relegation rivals to try and get their players banned?

A mister Lord Justice Pool, who actually lives in Manchester (Stockport) and resided over the case of the Bowyer and the kid he battered for being a '****' and called it off because of the press interview, questioned it. He said that if you said to me 'Nice day, isnt it', it would be ridiculous to claim that it was racist, just because I 'found it racist'. Thus the law was changed. |

I think a couple of points need to be raised on this matter though, firstly why the £#%&! has it taken the FA till December to come up with this ban? I mean, the incident happened in April. Not as if England went to Euro 2008, so they had £#%&! all else to do in the meantime.
Secondly, Chelsea were fined more, so in theory, the FA have blamed Chelsea for this incident, or believe them to be more in the wrong than United. So why add on top of that a 4 match ban? Reports suggested that Paddy squared up to the bloke, got punched in the side of the head, a clear 4 match ban eh The FA have an agenda against us, no doubt about it. Cantona - United banned him till the end of the season, the FA see fit to extend the ban till October. Keane - punished twice for the same offence, yet Drogba faced no action for coming out and stating that he wished he'd punched Vidic harder. Paddy gets 4 games for being allegedly racially abused and punched, whereas Drogba gets a 3 match ban for gesticulating to Burnley fans, and then throwing a coin at them during a match. I'm not bitter or owt, but I would like some consistency. If the FA were consistent with their decisions then fair play. And in the same way, if the Referees were also consistent, then fair play, they would at least earn their respect due. |

What is the actual charge anyway? I'd love united, or anybody, to got a proper court with some of this ridiculous FA bullshit. it would last five minutes. The only reason they don't is becasue the whole game would fall apart but if they keep on pushing it with sort of shite...
Compare and contrast the Liverpool thing last week. |
