Spurs fans have been left fuming after the FA decided that Liverpool's Mohamed Salah would face no action for an incident in Saturday's draw with Stoke City.

They’re not wrong. The lack of consistency and clear bias is really aggravating.

Given the current bromance with Salah and continual arse licking of Liverpool is it any surprise he hasn’t been banned...

It’s the right decision. I really couldn’t stomach a #justiceforsalah campaign right now.

And given the current bromance with Salah, wouldn't it be ironical if Liverpool ended up the season with nothing: losing the CL Cup Final and then not making the top four. If they lose to Chelsea this sunday, there is every chance they would not make the top 4.

Feel free to explain why Elgazy wasn't sent off and suspended for two separate incidents of violent conduct against Liverpool last week.

Oh my God, could you imagine. They'd have the whole stadium kitted out in t shirts. Its probably why the FA didn't bother in the end

All the more reason for Kane to hold back nothing for England and max out in his effort to win the Golden Boot again.

The uncomfortable truth is that Dele has made a reputation for himself and is now living with the consequences. He's done some petulent things before so Refs and opponents are looking for it. he's fallen over at the slightest whiff of contact and now gets very little given. There was though a bright ray of light v Watford where 2 of their players tried to stop him but he kept on his feet, beat the pair of them and was then hacked down. That's the Dele Alli I want to see.

Perhaps the title of the thread should read "No ban..............unless the offender is from Spurs".

I couldn’t care who the player is, if you’ve got video evidence of a punch being thrown then the fa really don’t have any excuse not to act.

Given we came out of that Chelsea game a couple of years ago with no red cards and only one long-term ban, I don't think we should be throwing stones. Literally half the team could have banned in the aftermath of that match, it was brilliant.

Not just current. The pro-Liverpool bias has been going on for years. Sickening. I truly believe our media would like Salah to outscore Kane in the World Cup.

Chelsea had been provoking and winding up our team for weeks before that game. Of course, the FA had no problem with that.

One minor difference. He was 40 yards from goal... not in the penalty area

Didn't see the incident so just looked it up and i have to say that I've no idea why he hasn't been punished as he clearly throws a punch.

While that's true, most footballers these days go down easily. It's just because Dele has a higher profile than most, that it gets overblown by the media.
