John Terry's had his red card overturned. He pulled Jo down after sliding in with studs up! How is that anything but a red card!??
Amazing what being a regular in the England side can swing you with the FA.

The ref didn't think Terry was last man, the ref sent him off for pulling down Jo - that's serious foul play.

He pulled Jo down after flying in with a crap tackle, it's a textbook red.

According to the ref it wasn't the last man rule it was serious foul play and three game ban cashy, but you can bet your bottom dollar that if a player from th Rovers Bolton Wigan or Hull had done the same they'd be serving a three game ban. The big clubs have it all, the power the money, the refs lean towards them and the powers that be are frightened of them, there is no longer a level playing field
