red till i die!! wrote:see that baloteli got charged for stamping on parker in yesterdays match and faces a 4 match ban.
this is despite the referee waving it away at the time as an accident and no card was issued to baloteli for the challenge.
is the fa guilty of double standards here and if i remember rightly rooneys elbow on mc carthy last year was waved away because the referee didnt deem it as a deliberate elbow rather an accidental collision and because no card was issued the fa couldnt act on video evidence?.
it was something along those lines but still rooney was never charged when it was clearly deliberate and it seems now you can be.

i dont think the ref saw the balloteli stamp. FA have right to act as ref didnt see it. The rooney case was that the ref did see it and deemed it non-deiberate

Yeah that's right. The ref deemed that Rooney had fouled him, although he didn't see the incident, so he gave Wigan a free-kick. By doing that, Rooney got away with assault and punishment for it.

as i said, by the laws of the game the incident was 'delt with'...i'm not saying that's right, but it's the reason the FA didn't act.

To me it looks like he is trying to keep on his feet, to keep his balance and pushed his right leg back to do so. But when his leg went back, it hit Parker and he went over. I really do think that was an accident.
