Offside Ref

As far as I’m concerned the FA should throw the book, followed by the kitchen sink at Ben Thatcher.  There is absolutely no call for the foul he committed against Pedro Mendes.  He should have been sent off by the ref and that would of made the aftermath easier for the FA to deal with.

Currently as it stands the FA have to deem this to be an exceptional case before they can suspend him or take any other action, as it stands all they can do is fine him if they decide it was reckless challenge.  Now I don’t want to see players suspended but I think this really does call for it. To knock a player out cold and have them fit on the way to hospital is unacceptable and must be eradicated from the game.

Ben Thatcher is also being investigated by the police and it has to be said that if you did that in the street you’d expect the police to have at least a passing interest.
