Why hasn't there been any announcement about retrospective action against Shelvey yet? His tackle on Pogba was filthier than a trash heap.
Jonjo Shelvey | Pogba tackle

Is this true?
There have been numerous cases of retrospective action, anyway.
Why can't the ref come out and say that although he saw the tackle, he could not see the severity on the pitch and watching it again it should have been red card?
What a fecking awful system we have.
The Geordie fans all lapped it up too and booed Pogba from then on. I guess they are a bit starved of action up there these days.
If Lurch was my talisman every week, I guess it would be time to look for a new sport to follow.

Both him and Lascelles with thuggish tackles and behaviour all game.
The system isn't there to rectify mistakes of the ref, except in mistaken identity I believe. It's there to pick up on incidents that the ref has not seen, and therefore not dealt with. So as the ref has seen it, and therefore dealt with it, it won't be reviewed. Otherwise, think how many decisions will be reviewed each week, it would be a nightmare. I'm just saying it's perfect.
when I first seen the tackle I gotta be honest I didn't realise until I seen slowmo how bad and dirty it was.
I think the least surprising "news" of this event isn't that Jonjo is a scumbag. It's that the FA is a self-serving, hypocritical and spineless organisation, as usual.

I may have heard wrong, but didn't one of the pundits on MOTD blame rustiness for the challenge
Not surprised that the FA is towing the "Ref saw it" line. They are spineless while being a bunch of hypocrites.
Jenas claimed momentum made the challenge look worse than it was.
Yep, doesn't make sense to me neither.
Twattenburg reckons Marriner was exhausted because of Xmas fatigue (a.k.a marriner was wasted)
That's the way I'd always assumed it worked but there's been several examples where the FA were perfectly happy to retrospectively undermine a referee's decision to send a player off, when that player lodges an appeal (including a match refereed by Marriner).

So if they're willing to correct a refereeing error when a player gets sent off, why can't they correct an error where he should have sent someone off but didn't?!
For what it’s worth, I think Lascelle’s “tackle” on Hererra was even more dangerous and worthy of a red. Certainly no less dangerous than Bailly’s last week.
The FA are pathetic, as expected.
I wouldn't mind if Morph got into a scrap with Dele Alli and they both end up KO'ing each other.

That is an absolute joke 
Shelvey could have ruined Pogba's career with that tackle. Either Shelvey needs banning or the ref does for thinking it's acceptable.

I didn't think it was so bad. Looked like Pogba just stepped across him as Shelvey reached for the ball. Bad challenge, but didn't look deliberate to me. Borderline between yellow and red for me.
They are just a small little club from the north
When you go in with your foot mid air, studs forward and then do a lunging forward action... you bet it's deliberate.
It's not like this guy is whiter than white either. He's got a history of poor tackles and "losing his temper".
I can't believe the FA have let him get away with that.
Obviously ludicrous. The ref has seen a bit of it but clearly didn't have a proper view.
Weirdly enough he is though, actually looking at the fella. He's like the personifcation of a whiter shade of pale.
What an absolute fecking disgrace of a decision. Remember this when they want us to do some promotional work for the PL.
Pogba didn't even get defended as much when Marriner sent him off against Bellarin in one of the most bizarre and unfortunate red card incidents I've seen.
The press really can hypocritical when they feel like it.
I' m just going to say that Bailly's red (a bad tackle offcourse) was NOWHERE NEAR THAT. So something is obviusly wrong with the principles of refs...
Try doing this to Zlatan. Hope Newcastle go down.
For anyone who needs reminding of how utterly clueless and shit Marriner is, we ended up with more yellows than Newcastle did (2-1).
OK yeah he looks like he's a walking Ku Klux clan member. Odd guy.Have a word with yourself.
Yeah,
Charlton,Wilkins,Robson,Scholes,Lampard,Carrick et al- what thugs!
Leon Britton. Thug life.
That twat ref knew by blowing for the free kick and not carding uncle Fester, it wouldn't be retrospectively reviewed.
At least he didn't swear in another language to offend foreign lip-readers.
cnut.
I always feel like you could do with keeping a man on the bench for these kind of situations. Bring him on in injury time once the game is sealed to do a job on a cnut like this.

Disgusting. Was glad when Pogba got him back, although it wasnt half as bad as his tackle.
It really does get worse every time you see it. How pogba not get an injury from that is beyond me.
Didn't look deliberate to me. I'm not sure what a photo of meant to show - it's meaningless.
Do you think this a spot-the-ball photo, where the ball has been photoshopped out?
If you see the video from the site, it's even worse. It shows how he leaps into it.
Lindelof was booked for being pushed and accidentally handballing whilst nothing was given for the above. Absolutely scandalous.
You’re correct on all counts, especially the dr evil one
Yeah Upton did, more or less both him and jenas said he didn't look like he meant to do Pogba but should of pulled out, both pundits a joke, Shelvey was trying to hurt Pogba. Then Jenas just laughed off that cb fouling Rashford.
