I'd be talking to a lawyer about it if I was Mccarthy, outside the ground that'd be assault, that it was from beihnd and completely unprovoked is just cowardly, I hope someone kicks him up in the air for it next time they play.

This is just so typical, what lengths does a top 4 player have to go to to get a ban these days...shoot someone? 

Even then?

Sounds as though Ashley Cole has been in training.

So very sad how the people running the game see things when you can elbow someone like that and get off scot free and yet tweet about a referee and they are throw the book at you- sad crazy world.

Very good, Bren. I thought Fergie was brilliant yesterday with his claims of how the media would go out of their way to attack Rooney. Killed the story instantly. The fact is Rooney should have been banned but you just knew it was never going to happen. Different rules.

The offence was clearly intentional and although C'burg could not have seen it (see the MOTD replays) the FA should be demonstrating their equanimity - they have missed an opportunity to demonstrate that the game has standards and morals. A sad day, frankly.

He escaped a ban because Ferguson said 'It was nothing.'

He dictates the rules and everybody goes along with it, he's already made the BBC his bitch.

Yet he still does not speak to the BBC still and is allowed to get away with it

John Hartson wasn't sitting on the fence regarding the incident on MOTD 2 last night.  Fair play to him for speaking his mind.  Might not be a good career move by him though.

I can just imagine this scenario (names changed as not to provoke litigation)

 FA Official-'Mr Rednose this is the FA here- you may have seen one of your players on the TV commit unprovoked assault on a member of the opposing side- we may have to commence disciplinary action against Mr Shrek, your player'.

Mr Rednose- ' Up to you of course, however I would predict that Mr Shrek will be carrying a slight niggling injury around the time that the National team plays its remaining qualification games if you proceed with such action.

FA Official-' Completely understood Mr Rednose we will say that no further action can be taken, sorry to have troubled you.'

I've not seen this elbow, however I agree that he should be banned for no other reason than because I think he's a c***.

here it is, it gets worse every time i see it
