West Ham could create monster - Lambert

If this card gets overturned, then they should have overturned half of Joey Bartons red cards. West Ham are looking crazy and if I was FA I would extends the ban for complaining, which they have the power to do. This is just about one of the only times I can remember saying this but, the fa have got it right. If FA do overturn this, then it will be very weak indeed.... When the clubs become more powerful than the governing body it is time for a new reform.

Shoud have been a yellow for both men, a talking to and that's that.

West Ham feel hard done I'm sure, but ridiculous to make such a big deal about it. Sometimes crap happens, deal with it. With all the stick that Suarez has taken, can't see how anyone else would have a reason to moan.

I disagree, his arm was high and he swung it around. How is it any different from David Beckhams sending off when he flung his leg out in WC 1998. It's about time players were dealt with. 100% Carrol's fault and I am guessing his chances of playing for England just nose dived.

Carroll was already on the outs for England...they don't need him, his form is poor and he's been injured. Who really cares about that part of it.

As far as the arm swinging around....you, incidental...if he'd wanted to hit him he could have done a lot better job of it.

You must type with a bowl next to you 'cos you've posted far more perverse offerings than that.

Indeed and if anyone takes a smack obviously they will want to reduce movement and attempt to smother the pain.
Rolling about like a F***ing gymnast having a fit is unconvincing to say the least.

Shock FA do not change their mind.

 Andy Carroll: West Ham striker's three-match ban upheld by tribunal

An independent tribunal  has upheld the Football Association's decision to reject West Ham's appeal against Andy Carroll's three-match ban.

The Premier League side threatened legal action against the FA after their initial attempt to overturn the ban was turned down.

Carroll will now miss the Hammers' matches against Aston Villa, Norwich and Southampton.

He was sent off during his side's 2-0 win against Swansea last Saturday.

Before Friday's hearing, West Ham had promised to abide by the decision.

The Hammers, who lie 18th in the table, also suggested the FA-appointed panel "did not apply the correct test" under its rules when making the original decision.

The move to reconsider the upholding of the initial suspension with a further hearing is a highly unusual one, and is the last stage a dispute can reach under FA rules.

It is thought to be the first time in Premier League history that a rejected red-card appeal has then been referred to an independent arbitrator.

Carroll, 25, was dismissed after clashing with Swans defender Chico Flores at Upton Park.

According to the FA, West Ham failed to prove that referee Howard Webb had made "an obvious error" in dismissing the forward, whose arm hit Flores on the top of his head as he tried to untangle himself following an aerial challenge.

Flores went to ground clutching his face but West Ham felt he had overacted. Replays also suggested that the contact was unintentional.

the stupid bas**rds fell hook line and sinker for that one.

There are fish that are harder to catch when they recognise the snaring paraphernalia, the line, the shot, the hook and even the appearance of the bait will alert them. They will arrogantly shunt the lead so your float sinks and you strike, these fish are 'wised up' and are rarely fooled.
The FA are the one's with the shredded mouth who even F***ing idiots catch day after day, lads out for a bit of sport avoid them like the plague on account of them fouling your F***ing day up.
