Considering the FA righty did Vieira because the Ref did'nt see it, should the same not apply here. Same with the Mascherano challange on Zab where he raked his studs down the back of his leg. Or does this only apply to certain teams.

They discussed it on the Football Weekly podcast the other week. They aren't earrings. They're rubber plugs where earrings should be.

Due to many queries we have recently received from referees and the public concerning Ricardo Fuller of Stoke City FC, we are issuing the following statement concerning the wearing of jewellery in this individual case.

Ricardo Fuller of Stoke City does NOT play with earrings in. He takes them out in front of the referee and covers the two holes with 'plastic caps' covered with tape to stop dirt getting into the holes and causing a possible infection.
As a reminder, the rules regarding players' equipment are as follows:-

The Referee’s role is to inspect footwear and jewellery before each and every match.

Match Officials are reminded that Law 4 states: "A player must not use equipment or wear anything which is dangerous to himself or another player, including any kind of jewellery."

All jewellery, including plain wedding rings, must be removed. The Referee’s decision is final and players in contravention of this Law must not be allowed to enter the field of play.

Match Officials are also to incorporate a footwear inspection into the pre-match safety check of players’ equipment. This will take place before entry to the field of play immediately prior to the game.

Lets just concern ourselves with the matter of Manchester City and forget the other nineteen teams in the league. Yes I think Mascherano should have been sent off but seeing the refs angle I can understand how he missed it. I don't think he didn't send him off to upset Man City or us. Vieira was rightly given a ban for kicking Glen Whelan in the balls, his case was duly heard - not fast tracked - as was Rio Ferdinand's. The Scum then cheated where the system allows them to by making what was deemed a frivolous appeal so he could play against us.
Take care of Man City and ignore all the other teams except when we play them, then give them hell for ninety minutes.
