And his statement read like the sort of confession that gets beaten about of people. The suggestion that he clearly grabs the hair to gain an advantage is just nonsense and it's absolutely not the sort of incident that they are trying to clamp down on.
All our players should start the Bham game in waist length wigs. We should have them down to 8 players at the first corner. |  | | |  |

John Busby emailed them (The FA) three days after the game 'asking that the incident be reviewed'.
Jumped up little scrote.

How can anyone watch that and determine that Leif purposely pulled his hair? |  | | |

The fact it took that c**t three days to email says to me he was out for something after the McKenna comments and the crowd reaction to him.
How on earth did the lino not see it at the time? Would’ve been right in front of him ffs. | |

Or indeed that it was particularly forceful. It's hard to make it out from the available footage let alone to determine there was intent and that it was practically assault, which is what you'd think based on their statement. Complete joke. And Busby can go f**k himself, the incompetent, jumped up little scrote. | |

If players are going to start being penalised for touching someone's hair in a crowded penalty area then it should be mandatory that all players have a short back and sides haircut. | | | |

He shouldn't ref again. He’s clearly a petty and vindictive man, not mentally fit for football. | |

Just seems like such a non issue. I have watched that video multiple times and it is a whole load of nothing. I didn't even realise it happened until the ban happened. |  |

I don’t understand how supposedly multiple former referees reviewed to footage and all said you could clearly see it as a hair pull and even gauge precisely how aggressive it was. I can’t see it on the footage. You can see from the camera behind the goal that Leif doesn’t look at him.
But we admitted it, so it must have happened. I also don’t understand why we’re surprised with a 3 game ban for something that would have resulted in a red card and 3 game ban had it been seen at the time.
None of it makes any sense. |  |

That makes it worse! We were honest and admitted it (albeit that it was a complete accident) and that counts for absolutely nothing! It doesn't exactly encourage players to be forthcoming about these incidents does it!
The FA will always protect their own. Shocking! |  | | |

I personally can't see that it is in any way clear that LD pulled his hair!
What is blindingly obvious is that their player held Kippers round the neck and pretty much wrestled him to the floor. That is clear and obvious, and imho, far worse than any hair pull that LD may or may not have done. So why no action on the LCFC player? Please can someone shed light on this? |  |

So he emailed them after he had been shamed by his own bosses as being incompetent over the penalty.
I’m sure there was no link between the two and Busby didn’t at all stay awake for 72 hours looking for something to get us with… |  | | |

Certainly looks that way. To have then entertained it and made the findings which have been set out, UNLESS there is some footage none of us have seen, is corrupt. | |

Let's call it what it is, it's us being punished for daring to call out a completely incompetent referee. | |

This episode emphasises that we need to be promoted out of this crappy league asap. Second-rate refs with zero assistance have huge powers to influence matches and they know it. We're at the mercy if embittered incompetents.
"force used was aggressive enough to force [Okoli]’s head to jolt backward" - I feel like we TWTDers and the FA regulatory commission are in completely alternate realities. Is there some angle we've not seen? Neither of the two clips that have been circulating show any hair-pull at all, never mind one with aggressive force:
Are we missing something? | | | |

That's incredible, I joked on here that Busby had been looking for reasons to screw us over after we dared to challenge his awful non-penalty decision, but that's literally what has happened! | | | |

It is utterly dishonest unless there is some secret footage.
They are making claims which are simply not supported by the footage at all, as if they were not only supported but crystal clear. | |

How they've still allowed it after he's saying it wasn't seen is absurd. In the second video he is literally looking in that direction, as is the Lino. Pure incompetence. |  |

Speaking as a lawyer, and reading the report, I am not convinced our general counsel (who is mentioned in the report) fought the case as best she could.
Indeed, given the seriousness of the case we should have looked outside for specialist legal advice from a barrister with experience in this area.
Appointing in-house counsel often strikes me as a way of saving money but this case suggests to me that we would have been in a better position if we had never appointed such a person.
Indeed, the whole report strikes me as being as amateurish as the sort of report one might expect from a county FA in relation to grass roots football disciplinary panels.
In addition, I wonder if her background in sports mediation and the like made her more likely to seek some sort of compromise which is not what was wanted in such a case.
Of course, maybe I am being unfair to her, but "it's a fair cop" certainly isn't the greatest of defences.  [Post edited 23 Mar 15:14]
