      The FA recently appealed a decision by an independent football disciplinary panel following their rejection of the charge against Mourinho after the Newcastle match where he was caught on camera saying something out loud. The appeal was rejected. The FA have also been criticised by the independent review panel.

      They said that to charge the United boss for his actions was deemed to represent “a material departure from previous practice for which no good justification has been provided,”.

      “There is no comparable example of a player or a manager having been disciplined for behaving in that way and there are several other examples of reasonably comparable and, arguably, more serious conduct where no action has been taken,” it added.

      “We think that this discretion has been unfairly exercised in the instant case.”

      That would, if the FA had any integrity, see someone’s head roll as they are clearly not treating everyone equally. The governing body must be impartial.

      Good on mourinho for standing up to the biased governing body.
