No problem with the replays and retrospective bans as long as it is consistent. Young should receive a 5 match ban for his actions.
Well maybe you could name these shocking challenges?I agree with the OP, they definitely do it selectively. There's plenty of shocking challenges that don't get half the attention of others. Whether it's an agenda, a narrative or the profile of the player, I don't know. Probably all three depending on the player.
Unless I'm mistaken. Tadic had a little conversation with the ref whilst pointing at Young later in the game. Maybe an unrelated incidentVAR wouldn’t do anything in this case though. Unless Tadic complains to the ref.
This is the point that many people in the thread have spectacularly missed so far.That said, everything surely has to be equal? If yesterday's wasn't a televised live would there be any attention drawn to it?
Give over with the RAWK shite, I did not say the media were anti United, I said it was certain teams and players.That doesn't happen, and it's RAWK level to think it does.
If the media is against Utd, why does every other teams fanbase think the media is out to get their team too?
It's ridiculous. Suarez had it worse though. It's a sad day when you can't even go around biting opponents without having to worry about getting grassed up by the tv cameras afterwards.
Do you think the likes of MOTD and/or papers think there's equal interest in reporting a United incident vs lesser clubs?That doesn't happen, and it's RAWK level to think it does.

I haven't got the memory or inclination to go back and find them. Considering they were barely covered in the media a google search won't be much help.Well maybe you could name these shocking challenges?
Another good example being Adrian deliberately injuring Ibra after he scored. I’m convinced that injury was the beginning of the end for his cruciate ligaments. Didn’t even get a mention in the analysis.Give over with the RAWK shite, I did not say the media were anti United, I said it was certain teams and players.
Prime example De Gea kicked in the ribs and stomped on in the West Brom match, no further action taken. Every other teams fan base will also be able to point to multiple examples. But usually there's more scrutiny of big teams and high profile players. All games should receive the same coverage and all such incidents should result in bans, as that makes it fair.
Erm yes it did. All you need to google search that incident. You have Phil Neville and Dean Ashton both calling it deliberate.Another good example being Adrian deliberately injuring Ibra after he scored.

I guess bringing this shit up is RAWKish though. Am I doing this right?
Agree with Damo.TV companies are supposed to analyse the game and these incidents are part of the game. Only thing to blame for Young getting banned is Young.
Thank you, that's more what i'm aiming at with this thread.I agree with the OP, they definitely do it selectively. There's plenty of shocking challenges that don't get half the attention of others. Whether it's an agenda, a narrative or the profile of the player, I don't know. Probably all three depending on the player.
I don’t know what forum Phil Neville and Dean Ashton used but I don’t remember it being focussed on during the game coverage or on MOTD. How else do you explain the fact he wasn’t cited?Erm yes it did. All you need to google search that incident. You have Phil Neville and Dean Ashton both calling it deliberate.
I agree with this. Though I guess it's less of an issue of the TV broadcasters but rather FA being incompetent morons who don't really seem to be able to do their job without someone pointing it out to them.I agree with the OP, they definitely do it selectively.

All Premier league games are televised and all are shown live on tv (though not in the uk).This is the point that many people in the thread have spectacularly missed so far.
If OP is correct in saying nothing was in the match report, then Ashley Young gets away with it if:
a) it isn't televised (like 99% of games)
b) The TV station don't try and paint a "picture" or narrative to increase hype/push agendas/run with public opinion - if instead of Young, it was a player or team who "wouldn't do that sort of thing", the broadcaster can easily use his own opinion to say that looking at the incident more than once isn't worth the time. The incident then doesn't get flagged up.
Both of which aren't leading to a fair implementation of the rules.
Yes. Or even better, showing people in the fecking stands while the game is going on. Very little that annoys me more!I'm more pissed off they show immediate replays with no regard for the actual match taking place thereby missing large chunks of the game.
It wasn’t a premier league game. It was Carling Cup, so it wouldn’t be on MOTD.I don’t know what forum Phil Neville and Dean Ashton used but I don’t remember it being focussed on during the game coverage or on MOTD. How else do you explain the fact he wasn’t cited?
It's getting worse every match. Especially knowing we've missed something when you hear the crowd,That does my head in.. they can show multiple replays of a chance that wasn't even dangerous or a 20sec shot of some player doing nothing at all on the bench when the ball is back in play. You can still hear the crowd though so sometimes they scream their heads off so you know something has happened but the producer always decides to show that "chance" from a 4th angle just to make sure that us viewers could see that the shot really went 8m wide of the goal.
Aye. Only permissible if we get funny gifs like the Crystanbul gifYes. Or even better, showing people in the fecking stands while the game is going on. Very little that annoys me more!
This really ticks me off as well.I'm more pissed off they show immediate rep for the actual match taking place thereby missing large chunks of the game.
Any theories on why Adrian didn’t get any punishment at all and Ashley Young will likely miss 3 games for a far less dangerous incident?It wasn’t a premier league game. It was Carling Cup, so it wouldn’t be on MOTD.
Phil Neville was the pundit for the game and called it a disgusting challenge.
My favourite was our game the other day where the commentator said 'a contested drop ball! That's something you don't see very often!' and then we didn't see it because they played a replay of the incident instead..I'm more pissed off they show immediate replays with no regard for the actual match taking place thereby missing large chunks of the game.
This happens every game on park pitches with no cameras, the players know there there. Why do it, except the ban though 3 games is a bit much for I tickle in the tummy, hope the other player is ok, he wasn' t taken off on a stretcher with oxygen was he. Also Kyle Naughton for Swansea has had a 3 game ban as well for not much either these guys must have a good job on the panel..I know it is frustrating but you still cannot go elbowing people. Young should have been smart. Cannot defend that.
