Perhaps because they all work for the same organisation, who have a history of defending ref's decisions, regardless of how farcical they are. Incidentally, have you ever thought about working for the FA in some official capacity?
Decision stands as yellow? He was booked for dissent earlier in the game he didn’t even get a yellow for that assault.

I thought they just looked at things that were complained about? - like Hemed's 'stamp' that numerous TV pundits howled about it being attempted murder or something.

I , and I am sure many others, are under the impression that the sole aim and purpose of the refs review committee/panel is to rectify any mistakes or omissions made in a game. This being the case as it was a much talked about incident I would think that it fell with their remit. We must then assume that they looked at it via TV footage etc as it is inconceivable that they just ignored it. It then follows that they as a committee decide that no further action should;d be taken therefore that would indicate that either they considered Atwell's actions and decision to be correct or they had no power to impose a further punishment therefore the matter is seen as not being a red card offence and the matter is deemed closed.

To be fair to Schelotto, he was at the reserve game on Monday and when asked by a couple of people he said he was fine and it was nothing. He didnt seem bothered by it at all. So perhaps like him its time for us to all move on, and enjoy him having a superb game at Goodison on Saturday.

Did anybody really expect any retrospective action, it was an Arsenal player, had it been the other way around it would have been a season long ban

Maybe not season-long but I am absolutely convinced if it had been one of our players there would be retrospective action. It's a total farce that Hemed should get banned for his 'stamp' yet that reckless assault on Sunday goes unpunished.
Saw him in Waitrose last night and asked him how his head was. He said fine, no big deal.

Maybe, but I didn't think it was even a foul, personally, but I'm guessing I'm in the minority

I don't think we should assume that.
That's not true, as I believe all 3 members of the panel need to agree, so 2 out of 3 may have felt it should have been red, and the other may have thought it should be yellow. All of them may have thought the player should have been sent off, but under the rules, that doesn't mean a retrospective ban. If they even looked at it.
It probably is closed, but we've not been debating that.

When I saw him play his first games I thought he looked a bit light weight however he's given a new dimension which you need at this level.

Have you seen all the sky footage? There you can see that before Kolasinac gets to the ball, he throws is shoulder into it. Doing that is going to cause trouble.
Even if you haven't seen that, you agree that Kolasinac didn't get the ball right? So he was late to the challenge, and wiped out Schelotto. Why do you think that's not a foul?

And Lukaku getting away with trying to kick Gaetan Bong twice in their penalty area at OT earlier in the season. And we know that WAS reviewed.

I was just talking about how I saw it from one look on the TV (with the cameras quite a way away) and my initial reaction was they were both looking at the ball and it was just a 50/50 accident. It's certainly true that having seen some of the replays since, he does get his shoulder down into Schelotto, but there's only one angle that - to me - looked at all deliberate. I still don't think he was trying to hurt, I think he was just quicker at protecting himself. I don't expect anyone to agree with me, maybe I'm being too generous, I don't really care as long as he's not still injured - he's been a revelation of late.
Did anybody WANT any ban?
Arsenal’s next FIVE PL matches are against the bottom half. Want everything going for them now our game is out of the way!
