    KD: "FA not setting a good standard appealing against Wayne Rooney's 3 match ban. Was hardly a 50/50 challenge."

      Since he kicked Dzudovic, Rooney has scored 3 goals in 831 mins - all against Otelul Galati. Time to prove he's worth all this fuss again.

        Could be out by then
        That must have been a HUGE petition by the Ukrainian government and fans to ensure his ban was reduced.
        One tit for another.

          Maybe so, but I would love a club to point these double standards out.

          The thing with the FA is that I don't think they're aware of the double standards and hypocrasy in most of the things they do.
          The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

            Nope - it comes naturally to them as it's been going on for 20 odd years.

              I think they're well aware of it. And I'm sure the club will/would point this out, as we can see in the Suarez thread the quotes made by Kenny from today's press conference. Don't believe it'll change one thing though. It's like being beaten by a police officer if you were involved in some demonstration ****, like they're going to respond to your letter of complaint?

                Rooneys was petulant but never dangerous. It was a red, 2 games seems 'fair' to me.

                Spearings is a product of the modern game, we've seen plenty of events with other teams and players where intent and potential danger are punished even if no contact is made at all. He had 2 feet off the ground and went in studs first, took the ball but then followed into the player. A great tackle about 10 yrs ago, but a common red these days. There is a point of consistency, but that interpretation i.e. potentially dangerous tackle despite getting the ball first is far from ground breaking. 3 game ban would be a bit unfair. 1 or 2 would seem 'fair' to me.

                        Didn't take him long

                        Kenny Dalglish has criticised the Football Association for appealing against Wayne Rooney's three-match Euro 2012 ban.

                        The Liverpool boss said the FA's decision was "a bit strange" given that the organisation was "supposed to be setting an example".

                        Rooney's ban, imposed after being sent off against Montenegro, has been reduced to two games by Uefa.

                        He is now free to play against the Ukraine on 19 June.

                        However, the 26-year-old Manchester United striker, who travelled to Nyon in Switzerland for Thursday's hearing, will still miss the Group D fixtures against France and Sweden.

                        Dalglish is also unhappy with the FA for its treatment of Liverpool striker Luis Suarez.

                        Continue reading the main story
                        The people at Liverpool and anyone who has any leaning to the club - be it staff, players, supporters - they will stand by him [Suarez] and they know what the truth is
                        Kenny Dalglish
                        Suarez is facing a racism charge dating from October and has also been charged with misconduct after allegedly making an obscene gesture to fans following the Reds' 1-0 defeat at Fulham on Monday.

                        Dalglish is unhappy that no date has been set for the Uruguayan international, 24, to answer the racism charge.

                        "The fact it has taken nine weeks to get a decision on one of the other charges is a bit of a joke as well," said the Scot.

                        "I don't think that has helped as well. The circus which is around about him has been caused mainly by that."

                        A screen was lowered at the Liverpool press conference on which the club played what they said was a series of unpunished infringements against Suarez during the Fulham game.

                        Dalglish has already indicated he thought referee Kevin Friend did not give his team the benefit of 50-50 decisions during Monday's match.

                        "If anyone wants to see the truth from the other night it is on the screen," said Dalglish, who said he fully supported Suarez.

                        "The people at Liverpool and anyone who has any leaning to the club - be it staff, players, supporters - they will stand by him and they know what the truth is."

                        Suarez faces the charge after allegedly using racist language during an on-field clash with Manchester United's Patrice Evra on 15 October.

                        Dalglish contrasted the situation with the FA's appeal to Uefa over Rooney's ban, imposed after a red card for kicking Miodrag Dzudovic during England's 2-2 draw in Montenegro in October.

                        "I don't think it's a good example to set," he concluded.

                        Responding to Dalglish's comments, FA director of communications Adrian Bevington tweeted that it was "important to clarify Uefa has completely different set of disciplinary regulations to the FA".

                            So that would be the same as that world-class racist Luis Suarez having a different cultural upbringing and mannerisms ???

                              You can if their grounds for appeal are inconsistent with their decisions on incidents under their own jurisdiction.
