Chelsea midfielder Lampard won his appeal on Tuesday against his sending-off in Saturday's match at West Ham, when he and Luis Boa Morte clashed. He will now not serve a three-match ban.And that has made Boro furious!
Their appeal against Jeremie Aliadiere's red card at Liverpool the previous weekend was dismissed as "frivolous", costing the striker an additional one-game ban.
SteveGibson (Boro boss): "I am trying hard to make sense of it all. It astonishes me. The whole system is flawed.
"It was the right decision by the FA to take way Lampard's dismissal as TV evidence showed there was nothing violent.
"But how can the FA say that was any different to that involving Aliadiere?"
An FA spokesman: "The FA treats all cases on their merits.
"We would refute any suggestion that one club is being treated differently to another."
And we know what a load of BOLLOCKS that is, don't we? It has been going on for years!
