Middlesbrough chairman Steve Gibson has slammed the FA for overturning Frank Lampard´s red card for Chelsea, but adding an extra game suspension on to striker Jeremie Aliadiere´s red. Gibson accused the FA of double standards.
"I am trying hard to make sense of it all. It astonishes me. The whole system is flawed," Gibson told the Daily Star.
"It was the right decision by the FA to take away Lampard's dismissal as TV evidence showed there was nothing violent.
"But how can the FA say that was any different to that involving Aliadiere?"
The FA has defended its decision on Lampard, with a spokesman telling The Times: "The FA treats all cases on their merits.
"We would refute any suggestion that one club is being treated differently to another."
