LMA AND PFA HAVE TO BE BALANCED

The PFA and LMA are always quick to defend their members but they cannot shout foul one way all the while.I admire Gordon Taylor and Richard Bevan,chief executives respectively of those organisations.But where was Gordon's voice when Kolo Toure was charged with failing a durgs test and I heard Richard almost defending Sir Alex's latest verbal attack on a referee when Richard was a guest on Talksport this week.Toure is clearly ignorant of banned substances,if the charge is proved,while Sir Alex cannot berate the media for wanting the book thrown at Wayne Rooney for a bad elbow which only brought a yellow and then throw his verbals at the referee for not red-carding a Chelsea player.He was wrong on the first instance but although his call was right on the decision at Stamford Bridge he was wrong in the manner he complained. In fairness there is often method in Sir Alex's rage.The problem is there is no deterrent at times.The FA seem to have one law for some and another for others.Their weakness is the problem.How many times do football people stop and think?Heat of the moment and passion are no excuse.People in the public eye have to show discipline. Sure we are all human and that includes referees.Where would the game be without them? Too often they get the abuse instead of the highly paid players who are often to be blamed for a team's defeat.
