I heard that Adebayor is to still face a 3 match ban for his reaction to being sent off on Sunday. Eboue is to now join him in a 3 match ban. If this is true please can someone tell me how this is fair because Adebayor did no more then any of the other 13 men throwing their handbags about

If Eboue has been identified as the 'Bridge Basher' then surely Adebayor should have his red card taken away????
Quite right he should have it taken away, but because he reacted badly to being wrongfully sent off he gets a 3 match ban. Another prime example of Arsenal bashing makes me fu**ing sick
Ade wouldn't have reacted like that having not been wrongly sent off. I know it's a lot to expect some common sense from the F.A but surely they can see that the referees fucked up and caused the reaction.
Does anybody know how to go about officially forcing the FA to publicly explain its actions. It appears that there is one rule for Arsenal and a different one for everybody else. If the ref takes action then the FA say that they do not need to as it has been dealt with at the time, however, this does not appear to be the case for Arsenal. I remember when DB10 elbowed somebody and got sent off and was then further punished by the FA. Now it is happening again. This needs to be brought into the public arena for debate.
Lets not accept this laying down. Adebayors actions cannot be condoned but imagine the frustration of being wrongly accused and it becomes understandable.
Agree with you all. I was close to Adebayor and he did over-react...but who wouldn't to being WRONGLY sent off in a Cup Final. No mention either of Arsenal bringing the game into REPUTE as the first person to signal Terry's injury was Almunia and according to all the papers Gary Lewin 'saved Terry's life'. Do we get any credit for that? Sweet FA! Again!
