AVB In Bother: Should FA Look At Foy First?

So, the FA are ‘looking at’ comments made by Andre Villas-Boas about Chris Foy’s performance in our game againt QPR Sunday – well let them look!

Of course, we don’t want managers having a go at refs week-in-week-out in the post-match interviews, we’ve been there, done that and it gets a bit tedious after a while but then again we don’t want the sort of decisions we see week-in-week-out going unchecked either because the word tedious doesn’t even come close to describing how much these mistakes can grind you down when they’re seemingly repeated from game to game.

So AVB, like any manager completely pissed off at another ref’s performance – so below par it could almost have come from the Tom Henning Ovrebo school of decision-making – spoke out in the heat of the aftermath, suggesting Foy “lost it.. he was card happy towards the (Chelsea) team.” Anything wrong with that statement? It’s a statement of fact, so I can’t see why the FA should have an issue with it.

In fact, AVB’s admission that he was “very aggressive” with Foy after the game is probably the only thing the FA can realistically have him for and even then I wouldn’t imagine they could do a lot more than fine him since he hasn’t been around the Premier League long enough to get a track record with them.

And even then, if they go to the trouble to actually look at some of Foy’s decisions they might even take the stance that managers like AVB are only human – isn’t that what we’re always told to excuse officials’ mistakes anyway?
