Callum McManaman escapes FA action over Haidara challenge

Wigan forward Callum McManaman has escaped retrospective action from the Football Association over his challenge on Newcastle defender Massadio Haidara.

Haidara was taken off on a stretcher in the Latics' 2-1 win but the FA cannot take "retrospective action" as an official saw the incident take place.

The governing body says it does not wish to "re-referee" matches.
But Newcastle managing director Derek Llambias claims the FA's disciplinary process is " not fit for purpose".

Whoops! there goes another one http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21849416

Is that right Stan that you haven't beaten them for 34 years ?

Be like winning the league if you ever do :-)

Absolutely not sir! Only played them in 8 seasons in that time.. a fabrication of the truth milord -):

14th April 1979 ...... must be etched on every Burnley fans mind :-)

Your derby looks to be as "lively" as ours with the gypo's.

I don't mind a bit of local rivalry but like all these things it does bring out some idiots unfortunately, at the end of it all 3 points is 3 points so not really concerned where they come from.

Good job with regards Blackburn :-)

LMA boss Richard Bevan 'embarrassed' by recent sackings

The League Managers' Association has described the number of sackings in football this season as "embarrassing".
LMA chief executive Richard Bevan said the number of departures is at a five-year high, following Michael Appleton's dismissal by Blackburn on Tuesday.
In total, 103 managers and coaches have lost their jobs in 2012-13.

that bad, that one was even dumped in favour of Rafa

Rafa out

We're doomed saved! Greg Dyke to replace David Bernstein as FA chairman

Former BBC director general Greg Dyke is set to be named chairman of the Football Association.

Dyke, who must stand down as Brentford chairman to take on the role, will take over from David Bernstein in July, subject to approval by the FA council.

Strachan needs 20 new players , this has to be the worst Scottish team ever.

Never have I seen Wales so comletely dominate a team away from home in a competitive match in my life time.

And that's a long, long time! :-)

Aye too bleedin long :-)

Hull v Watford tonight then Watford v Cardiff Saturday .... nearly there if Watford lose both.

Another point closer.

I'm a bit gutted that my prediction of promotion at Burnley looks like coming true as was hoping to see it at home v Forest Saturday (now not possible) or Charlton home next Tuesday (still a possibility).

Never mind but what a prediction 6 months ago hey Stan :-)

1-pt at home to the mighty Barnsley as you sputter to the end of the season.

Just a quick look at your remanning games I can only see one 3 pointer and that's against Charlton Pathetic.. mind you they seemed to have bucked up a bit lately.

Cardiff v Nottm Forest. You might get 1-pt.
Cardiff v Charlton. Lets be generous and say 3.
Burnley v Cardiff. If you get over the half way line at the Fortress more then 6 times you will have done well.. No pts.
Cardiff v Bolton. Nerves really kicking in now as Bolton are on a VG run., Maybe 1 pt.
Hull v Cardiff. No pts.

So thats 5 points and if Hull and Watford had been just a bit better you lot would be in the play-offs.. yet again.

"Never mind but what a prediction 6 months ago hey Stan :-)" Don't count those chickens sunshine -):

1 point
3 points
3 points (banker) ... promoted
1 point
1 point and title


Read it and weep :-)

Ok I'll level with u Stan ... 17th April I'm 21 (uck off Martini) and having the party on the 20th after we play your lot.

Was hoping to see us promoted before not after my 21st but whenever I'll take it.

Got my ticket for the promotion party Tuesday which is now all sold out.

50 bloody years we've waited and now it's just two days away.

Ooooooooooooooo we be Premier League this time tomorrow :-)

.... and for £10 insurance against someone peeing on my parade got a double on Charlton and Watford at 12.75/1 with Paddypower.
