Let's give the benefit of the doubt to the FA and assume that they have a valid reason for backing Mike Dean's ridiculous decision (valid based on the laws of the game and not a self-serving desire to limit the controversy). In that case, why not make the referee's report public and provide an explanation of the thinking behind the appeal result? This could only increase everyone's understanding of how the laws are to be interpreted. The lack of transparency in this whole process shows utter contempt for all supporters.
Or perhaps they just interpret the laws to suit their agenda at the time. I wonder.
