Don't really see what else the FA could do, like they said FiFA won't let them upgrade to a red card and I don't see how you could prove it wasn't just a bad challenge with an arm at an unfortunate height.
Doesn't mean I agree with it, just that I can't see what else they could have done.
I wonder if they could have charged him with a 'separate bringing the game into disrepute offence'.
I don't see how the FA can be comfortable with people going around a football pitch recklessly causing serious head injuries to someone.
Obviously Barnsley & Hume could look at a civil action but it seems to me wrong that the FA can just cop out. The FA and FIFA have their values all wrong. They jump on managers who criticise refs for making perverse decisions but don't sort out matters like this.
