    This is one of the WORST decisions I've ever seen in sports. Its 100% obvious from the video that Mills intentionally stomped on the defender with his boots. The defender's faces was gushing with blood. The English FA is a pathetic joke. The FA should be destroyed.

    Danny Mills: Career statistics
    Middlesbrough defender Danny Mills has been cleared of stamping on Charlton striker Paolo di Canio last Saturday.
    Mills appeared to stamp on Di Canio as the two tussled near the corner flag and the Italian left the pitch with blood streaming down his face.

    But the Football Association's video advisory panel adjudged Mills made accidental contact with Di Canio.

    And the FA has decided that there was no case for the on-loan Leeds defender to answer over the incident.

    Referee Howard Webb had waved play on after the incident and when play stopped 30 seconds later for a free-kick to Boro, Di Canio raced up to the official to show him the injury.

    After the game neither Boro boss Steve McClaren nor Charlton manager Alan Curbishley said they had a good view of the incident.

    Are you related to di Canio guy? Because your 4 posts are all the same thing, just in different forums. I agree that it did look to me as if it was intentional, but why post that in the Arsenal forum? To remind us of all the times Arsenal palyers have gotten screwed by the FA for even looking at an opponent wrong?

    If your intention was to sway public opinion against the FA for their questionable judgment on video reviews of possible violent conduct, the Arsenal forum doesn't need any help to reach that conclusion. You're preaching to the choir in here....
