MY CALL IS FOR THE FA TO LOOK AT IT AGAIN - MP
WHY NOT GIVE THE WORLD THIS CHRISTMAS?
BARNSLEY MP Eric Illsley has tabled a motion in Parliament calling for the FA to review their decision not to punish Chris Morgan for his elbow on Iain Hume, which left the Reds striker with a fractured skull and internal bleeding.
Mr Illsley told BBC Radio Five Live: "My view is that this does amount to deliberate violent conduct. I'm aware of the FA statement and I disagree with it. There are two aspects here, which are the FA's Respect agenda and whether or not the actions of Chris Morgan were deliberate.
"The referee on the day booked Chris Morgan so he must have realised that the challenge was outside the rules and deliberate. When you look at the challenge, it is difficult to see how it couldn't be classed as violent conduct and I fail to see how the FA cannot consider that as violent conduct.
"When you consider that Iain Hume, according to the club, had been asking for protection from similar incidents all through the game then you have to consider that there was obviously an intention on the part of Chris Morgan to either intimidate Iain Hume or stop him playing his game.
"The club are making further representations and what legal avenues are open to them but my call is for the FA to look at it again."
