DAVID MEYLER WILL be free to play in the FA Cup final for Hull City after an alleged stamp last night on Manchester United’s Adnan Januzaj.
The Football Association has decided not to take retrospective action against the Irish midfielder following the incident towards the end of last night’s 3-1 defeat at Old Trafford.
The Hull Daily Mail reports that referee Craig Pawson has told FA officials that he was looking directly at the incident.
Under the rules in relation to cases that are examined retrospectively, as the referee had a clear, unobstructed view it is not classed as the incident having not been seen by match officials.
The news will be a relief to Meyler who is now available for Steve Bruce’s side for their big date at Wembley on May 17th against Arsenal.
Very lucky boy
Lucky boy, absolute madness
He deserved to miss the cup final on stupidity alone
Senseless . 3.1 down. Last minute. Cup final coming up and he does that. Pure badness. Martin O Neill won’t like that . No doubt Roy approved though !
Januzaj’ leg moved to Meylers , not the other way around, right call from FA.
Absolutely disgraceful decision, they’re supposed to be trying to clean up soccer and they let a blatant stamp like this go unpunished. Great example for the kids watching.
You should have seen him hurling , he’d peel ya.
Eamonn i think you have been using the rewind button on the sky plus remote a bit too much.
