Well we now know there will be no appeal. Can understand the reasoning it will only prolong the issue.
However, United have stated clearly they are far from happy with the ban , Evra is still adamant no punches were thrown by him .
What now will happen over the racist implication conveyed in Uniteds evidence? I suppose its over to the men in suits who will tie it up in legal detail. No further action.
Im Sickened by the whole thing..F*** th FA

Squiddy – you don’t address the fact that the FA have one rule for United and one rule for Chelsea, unsurprisingly. I’ll respond to your points regardless.

1. Laws that don’t exist? Wrapping your arm around somebody’s waist and pulling them to the ground is what any knowledgeable football fan would refer to as ‘a professional foul’, which you’ll note, carries a red card as a punishment.

2. You clearly didn’t watch the video of Rooney’s red card, otherwise you wouldn’t try and compare Rooney’s non-foul to Drogba lobbing a coin at a crowd containing women and kids.

3. Mutu tested positive for drugs. Rio returned to the training ground on the same day as he was due to be tested and they turned him away. He had an independent test the following day which came back clear. Again, you are trying to compare the incomparable.

You sound rather bitter. Trophyless seasons can do that to you I guess. VIVA JOHN TERRRRRYYYYY!

1. When Terry was red carded against Man City he received no punishment because the ref was (correctly) judged to have made up laws that didn’t exist and thereby had cheated against him. The red card stands on Terry’s record, even though he was seen to have committed no foul worthy of it. The ref was demoted.

2. 50 coins were collected from the pitch all aimed at Drogba, as he failed to react to constant racial abuse. He threw one coin back that actuallyhit him. He was banned for 3 games. His abusers received nothing. Rooney and Scholes had no provocation in their incidents.

3. Mutu had his contract cancelled and Chelsea were fined by the FA for enforcing action against him outside of the FA programme. Ferdinand was rewarded by playing for and captaining England (badly).

Evra and Phelan were found to have made accusations they couldn’t back up after they were asked (and refused) to vacate the penalty areas which they were trampling on a few days before a CL Semi was due to be played. They lied, pure and simple. So determined were they to ruin the penalty area they were happy to start fights to ensure the could continue to do so when the groundsmen were doing their job to begin work on repairing them immediately. Being called a ‘fucking idiot’ for doing so is the least they deserved.

It appears Phelan has got off scott free. He should be taking a ban and a fine like his boss is just serving for the repeated lies and abuse they give out when things don’t go their way.

Then again, keeping the incompetent Phelan on the bench may be considered punishment enough.

no the truth is it was our 4′s word against bethel and his groundsmen pals. it’s like a penalty, the fa are only gonna charge someone with racism if they are 100% sure, that means audio of bethnel saying what he did. I don’t think united will appeal the decision, but i wouldn’t be suprised if evra took the matter further with bethnal now that the fa procedure is out of the way.

Racism? If there was such a strong ‘racist’ element to the incident, how is it that Manchester United never mentioned it or condemned it? The truth is the ‘racist’ matter was only ever hearsay.

Euroblue, idiot…the racist abuse ‘could not be proven’ according to the FA not ‘Conclusion: there was no racist slur’…. (could not be proven means witness statements alone are not enough and they needed to see front-on cctv)…half-wit

Still pissed at this . Are Evra and Phelan + others liars ? Uniteds defence of Patrice is based on racist insults hurled at Evra ! If it did not happen why did we defend him ?
Point here is i believe completley it DID happen, as do those at United who are privvy to all the info on the incident .
To roll over and accept this is to admit we are wrong.
What happens now? The FA will shorten the ban as long as we do not rock the boat .
Its a farce, and we UNITED are letting it happen .

If all the English United players boycotted the National Team it would be fantastic. That would put the F.A right.
