He's been charged by the FA now

IS anything going to be done about Morgan by the FA or are they just going to sweep it under the rug ?

Breaking new: The **** has been charged by the FA. Serves him right. F*cking thug

He had every right to go down especially as the awful refs in this country will rarely give a free-kick or pen nless the victim of the foul goes to ground. However, as for the 'punch', at worst it would make you double over, don't try and defend the un-defendable.

FA charges Blades defender Morgan

It was a punch, not a heavyweight one but a jab.

Go to your mummies or daddies and ask them to jab you in the ribs from behind when you're not expecting it then come back here and still say he went down too easily.

Ignoring the fact of course that by going down he's only trying to draw attention to it.

No player needs to get punched on the football field unprovoked.

It's riddiculous.

What Morgan did was wrong.

Van Persie did look at Morgan and a few moments later he went down to get Morgan sent off. Unlike RvP tbh i reckon a year ago Robin would have gave Morgan an Elbow back. Its a good change though i would prefer him to exaggerate then react.

You mean getting punched in the stomach when the ref is not looking is now an acceptable part of football ?

The only way Robin was 'punched' is if you're one of those types who thinks that Keown 'assaulted' Van Nistelrooy and Defoe 'mauled' Mascherano.

Van Persie regularly dives and feigns injury at the slightest contact, as he did against Sheffield. He deserves to get slated for it, but he's the golden boy around here at the moment so that won't happen.

I reckon you either did not see the PUNCH AWAY FROM THE BALL or you don't like RVP

There wasn't a punch IMO, a touch. and he's down like a sack of s**t.
I quite like RVP as player, but not when he behaves in a way where he tries to purposly get other players booked or sent off, its called cheating i believe.

Search for 'Van Persie Morgan' on Youtube. You will be able to review the whole incident. Then come back and call it cheating if you got guts.

It wasn't cheating. What Morgan did was wrong and he should have got sent off even though it wasn't a dangerous punch. If you can't raise your hand against a referee I fail to see how it is ok to punch a player.

Van Persie did go down easily though. I doubt it hurt that much but still....

Atleast he got a 3 match ban for it... there is justice in the world after all...
