Morning all,
Well what a tangled web they weave, that's the FA i'm refering to, again they show their one sided and biased decisions to the football world. They don't even try and cover it up, in the instance that i am talking about, Wayne Rooney, plants a forearm smash across a fellow professional in retaliation, well after the ball had gone, James Mc Carthy floored and spread-eagled on the ground Ref Clattenburg, claimed he didn't see the incident but still awarded a free kick but no sending off and no booking. Manchester United had looked as if they had got away with an assault on a fellow professional, and Rooney yet again slinks off with a slight grin. The video was shown many times after the game and the footballing world went up in arms, how can a professional footballer get away with what amounts to assault, so an enquirery was launched only for the referees' committee to ask Clattenburg to look at the video and see if he had misinterpreted the incident, Clattenburg viewed and was adamant that nothing was amiss, didn't we not know that was going to be the outcome. The football world was up in arms television and radio programmes have spent days discussing it, but Clattenburg, the Referees Committee, and of course Manchester United, are saying the fuss will all die down in a couple of weeks.
Why do Manchester United always seem to get away with these kind of incidents, Eric Cantanna, after being abused by a fan launched himself into the crowd with a two footed drop kick, and connected with the fan, Cantanna although banned for several months was allowed to come back and resume his career, a life's ban was the only punishment he could have received but again Manchester United got away with it. Rio Ferdinand was told before his training session he was going to be drug tested after his training, but decided to leave for home after his training claiming he had forgotten. He did receive a ban but he too was allowed to carry on his career.
Manchester United are famous for the amount of penalties they receive, i don't know the official number but it must be a record, i would hazard a guess that they hold the record for free kicks awarded on the edge of the box as well. I have had my doubts with the FA and their officials for many years, and i am pretty sure that every Manager of the football league feels the same way, what i want to ask everybody and anybody is how can they blatantly get away with it, i hate to say it but is there money involved, after all, for years and years Manchester United have been the wealthiest club in England, and is it any wonder the most successful, perhaps there is a bit of truth in the old saying that Manchester United play with twelve men. This week has convinced me that the FA are not playing by the rules, and are definitely using a different set of rules for dealing with anything to do with Manchester United.
At the moment i understand that the Government have launched an enquirery into the Ways the FA are handling the football leagues in this country, the referees have been under the spotlight as many complaints have not been dealt with to every bodies satisfaction. i would urge the Government to include the Premier League in their inquirery as well as they have pulled away from the rest of the leagues to run themselves, apparently they do not like the money the Premier League is earning to go anywhere but to them.
Football in England has never been more profitable, but in the hands of the wrong people it can quite easily become corrupt, i imagine that the Government have become aware of that, and hopefully get the important people, in the right positions, and get back to the honest and fair for all polices of the past.
We need to get back to discipline where footballers cannot hit one another and get away with it, Players that do not take guns into training with them , players who will not get away with launching attacks on the supporters. We need new people with principles, new people with the guts to see a problem and deal with it immediately, and run a fair and square Football Association, a strict Association which is respected by one and all. Prime Minister Cameron, keeps talking about fairness on the television, i want him and his enquirers, to dig out the dead wood in the FA, and leave it in the hands of people that can run it as an English Football Association should be run, Fair and Honest.
I must admit Arsenal football club have been on the end of some refferee decisions that have only been seen one way, the Diaby incident where he retaliated and subsiquently got sent off and a three match ban, Gail clichey while defending in his penalty box slips and falls while he fights to get up his hand planted on the ground taking his weight the attacking player kicks the ball at his hand and the refferee awards a penalty, the reffereeing standards are getting incresingly worse, at our cup final a clear cut foul by our goalkeeper was blatently missed and a wrong decision was interpreted by the ref, how can these decisions be so bad, when we have extra officials, obviously the refferees are not to the standard they should be who's at fault The FA again. I am ashamed that the Goverment have to step in to put this right, but the FA are incompetant to do it themselves. It appears to me that this goverment want to run the world, i cannot see that happening but i do hope they can sort the FA out because they are without doubt an embarresment.
