Yes they keep repeating this ‘alledged’ business on radio five sport which is a bit of a joke when it’s plain to see that it’s not just one but two kicks

The lack of transparency at the FA is worrying. There may not actually be any corruption, but ..................................

To be honest, although it seems a strange decision, I don't particularly care. I'm more annoyed that the incompetent buffoons officiating the match missed it and cost us a point. These things even out over the season said Murray after the ridiculous failure by the officials against Stoke. Well, if that is the case, we're now owed three points. We'll have those tomorrow please, disallow a Palace goal and give us a match winning penalty and we'll call it quits.
Fate, Karma and all that. I agree.

Well, at least we now know that it's OK to give a full back a jolly good kicking off the ball. Er

The worst thing about it is that the decision isn’t surprising at all. Big club bias is a thing.

Have they given their reasoning?

What a load of bollocks. Three supposed PL refs decide there was nothing wrong. Just seen the replay on Sky it was blatant assault. Big team syndrome strikes again

I am still miffed at the way he intimidated the ref to give them a corner that never should have been ( despite what Shearer said) . That resulted in the winning goal.
Big club home pressure. .gamesmanship. .cheating

Plus Pogba holding back Dunk, who would have got to the ball earlier, and probably no own goal

I'm not gonna call you a conspiracy theorist, but you certainly sound like a fellow cynic. I find myself increasingly wondering about why stories come out, or why certain decisions – which appear baffling to many – are made and here's another example. We'll never know the truth, but with a bit of digging, I'm sure people would be able to join the dots...
To be fair, I read that the three were not unanimous in their decision (not sure where I saw that, one of the online papers I think). Which means it was a 2-1 split, but don't know which way. To be even fairer, the test they have to apply was 'would they have given a red card / was it a red card offence'. Even yesterday, a few posters, and another ref said it was a free kick and a booking. That is - not even all of NSC think it was a red card offence.
I agree about the consistency though - comparing Hemed and Lukaku's actions, it's pretty bad that different decisions have been reached.
More annoying is that the goal wouldn't have happened if it had been spotted at the time.
VIOLENT CONDUCT
Violent conduct is when a player uses or attempts to use excessive force or brutality against an opponent when not challenging for the ball, or against a team-mate, team official, match official, spectator or any other person, regardless of whether contact is made.
What part of this law of the game have these w&ankers not understood? How they can have reached their decision is scandalous.

Not if you are outside the top six, had Murray done the same to Young he would have got a three game ban FACT

I see that Gary Lineker tweeted that MotD didn't talk about it because they didn't see it after having to watch five games before making the Saturday night show. Oh that explains everything Gary. It's not as if you had a second chance on Sunday night's MotD2 and still failed to reference it at all. The goal was re-shown, including obvious footage of the foul that should have ruled it out. Not a squeak from anyone on the programme.
