FA to reconsider Andy Carroll red card

The Football Association will reconsider its decision to uphold a three-match ban for West Ham striker Andy Carroll on Friday.

The club had threatened legal action against the FA after their initial attempt to overturn the ban was rejected by an appeals panel.

But the Premier League strugglers say they will now abide by any decision made by the FA Arbitral Tribunal.

There’s a perfectly easy and logical way to solve this, which is to rescind the red card Carroll got as it was never a red card in a million years and you’d have to be an idiot to think it was.

Chico Flores is the one who should have been sent off and awarded a much deserved golden raspberry for his pathetic acting, as he decided after being slightly caught on the top of his head to go down holding his face as if his eyes had been gouged out.

It’s so stupid as there are cameras everywhere and everyone can see it, apart from the ref who was three yards away, and yet no-one seems to be looking at that side of it, why are players who throw themselves to the ground like five years olds allowed to walk away scot-free? 

Punish them instead not the players they conned the referee into sending off.
