The English FA showers itself in glory

The English FA once again shows that they have the three stooges running the shop...how can Middlesbrough's striker Aliadiere 3 game suspension be INCREASED to 4 games???? First of all the red card was silly, granted the Frenchman did strike that twit Mascherano but the Argentinian put his hands on Aliadiere first (the golden rule of the player who retaliates is always the one that gets caught). According the letter of the law the player needed to receive a red card. Fine, but extending his suspension? Are you kidding me? The FA needed to say, appeal denied, 3 games. This in parallel to only giving Taylor a 3 game suspension for a rash challenge that might end Eduardo's career. What message is the FA giving? If you get baited by a little twit and give him a love tap, you might get a 4 game suspension....so to all those little twits bait players to strike you, feign injury and get a player suspended. Oh, and if you are a lumbering center back feel free to go hard at players ankles and shins...if you cause horrific damage you will not pay more than a 3 game suspension. Nice message FA....good job.
