So Giggs going through the back of a player isn't a yellow card then?

Much as I hate Utd, something satisficing about seeing a bunch of overpaid mercenaries getting stuffed. What now Samir? Also most pleasing to see their new found "supporters" sitting there sick as a parrott.

The cup was ruined by TV long ago, how can we talk about the magic of the FA cup anymore when Stevenage are allowed to turn a home draw into an away draw for revenue, Cardiff 2 seasons ago with a couple of mis to go at home play for a draw against us instead of going for a win.

Mid-table PL teams playing reserve sides home or away in the cup,FA cup weekends that start on Friday night and end on Monday night(WTF!!!!).

The cup is finished for all but most of us fans. I only know the Cardiff finals , missed out on the wembley finals and would love to get there in May and pick up the cup but the champs league and TV(in short, money) have made it just a trinket for the clubs going for the top 4,trying to avoid relegation and trying to get promoted to the PL.

For just the FA cup, bring back 3 pm kick offs for at least the 3rd round and give the winner a place in champs league qualifying. If the winner's already in the top 3, then the loser does a play-off with the 4th placed team for a champs league qualifying round. If the loser is 4th then play-off with the 5th best team.

The coportaes get extra TV money, the TV bosses get more crucial games in late May and the cup will take on more credence for all teams.

Think it might be 4 coz he'll get an extra game coz he's already been red carded this season

But def 3 for straight red for dangerous play

If the initial red card was for violent conduct and he had a three match ban then it carries an extra game with it should he go once more for violent conduct. If the initial red was two bookings then there will not be an additional game.

an appeal wont change anything. ref saw it as a two legged tackle with studs showing so the fa will follow that.
