Wanderers v Geordies

[Montreal Wanderer]

Looks like the FA are going to look into the Williamson's head butt on Elmander. Shouldn't take much reviewing to hand out another suspension to the club. Not looking so good heading (no pun intended) into Chelsea. Elmanders performance is just getting bigger and bigger. 2 goals and possibly 2 red cards for the opposition.

Just as long as they look into it a bit harder than they looked at the Huddleston stamping incident!

As I understand it the ref saw the Huddleston stamp and didn't penalize it so the FA could do nothing. The ref did not see the Williamson incident so the FA is free to act.

Did any of the highlight shows have footage of it?

It wasn't on MotD.

I thought the FA reviewed the Huddlestone incident but decided it wasn't worthy of a ban (or chickened out). I don't think the ref saw it, otherwise they couldn't have reviewed it at all!

Montreal is right. He saw it, and deemed it unworthy of action, if you can believe that.

Our understanding of the first is different then.

No, EL and I were correct - the FA took no action because the ref said he saw the incident. See Sky report.

Apologies....

. Chelsea 14 9 1 4 28 9 28
. Man Utd 14 7 7 0 28 15 28
. Arsenal 14 8 2 4 28 15 26
. Man City 14 7 4 3 19 11 25
. Bolton 14 5 7 2 26 20 22

Just highlighting the fact we are 2nd top goalscorers in the League.

Ok it might be behind 3 teams in joint 1st place but still mighty impressive.

[thebish]

and we have scored SEVEN more goals than Shitteh!

And wasn't Ginger Bollocks on a few weeks ago banging on about how we scored more under his tutelage? The wanker!

[Prufrock]

I like the optimistic slant, but by any standard of maths ever we are 4th top scorers. Still ace like.

He has now been charged with violent conduct - so the system seems to work.

He has now been charged with violent conduct - so the system seems to work.

The main grievance with the system seems to be that yellow cards can't be upgraded to red, because the referee's word is seen as final. If, however, the ref completely missed something and allows video evidence to be used, retrospective action can be taken. Note though that the ref still has the right of refusal, as happened with Tom Huddlestone.

I think we're going to get promoted this season.

It appeared briefly on MOTD when Shearer was discussing how Elmander was being targeted. The video (Starting at 9min 30 secs) is not particularly clear but you can definitely see the head butt. Even one eyed gypsy Lineker said OUCH!
