But on the other hand, if the referee does not report what happened with James McArthur in his match report, the FA can not take any action what so ever.
Isn't it the other way around? If it is in the referees match report, they can't take any retrospective action?
It's an utter disgrace anyway, as it advocates others doing similar. You can bet your dollar that the next player red carded for putting his hands round another players neck, will appeal based on what is effectively now case law.
