No consistancy. Dzeko, did exactly the same thing to Skrtel last night, and as Skrtel didn't feign being butted, the ref didn't give a free kick or book anybody.

I don't know why we bothered, the FA are spineless muppets and were never going to do anything!

The FA really are pathetic. I used to manage a youth team and got hauled before the county FA. As witnesses to the incident, I had three school teachers, one being a head teacher. The FA wouldn't even hear the evidence and took the side of the ref, who happened to be the opposing team's manager. We copped a big fine, which was reduced on appeal. The bloody appeal cost us more than the reduction.

I have absolutely no faith in the FA so I'm not surprised by this.

I appealed a red card to the county FA, who as usual backed the ref who blatantly lied through his teeth. I was so hacked off, I paid my £200 deposit and appealed their decision to the English FA and had my day in Lancaster gate and won.

Well done mate. You'll understand just how incompetent the FA is.
