Conspiracy theory over the AC sending off

Ok I give in; Boycott is over, what do you mean you didn’t notice my boycott, bit futile then, bit like the fans being rallied on the internet yesterday to beg to the FA not to ban Andy Carroll over his Red Card against poor old Chico. I must admit that I saw the tussle between the 2 but then looked away to follow the ball, looked back again to see Chico rolling around holding his face. My 1st reaction was that AC must of kicked him or done him off the ball so didn’t complain much when the Red Card was shown, my friend who missed the game through illness was texting me and they thought it may looked harsh but to them intent was there and that was why he was off. Watching it back when I got home I must admit to being mystified as the Ref was not that far away from the incident so it was his decision alone to make and he obviously felt he saw something that warranted the sending off. The fact that we can appeal is at least 1 good thing and to be honest while making a frivolous appeal can add an extra game to the ban, even if we should lose the appeal it’s such a debateable incident that there’s no way we should cop the extra 1. Unless of course after yesterday’s encouragement to bombard the FA with begging text’s tweets and emails by some of the internet hammer sites it wouldn’t surprise me if the FA saw that for what it was, a shameful attempt to manipulate the due process or put unnecessary influence on the FA, funnily enough it would not surprise me in the slightest if the club were really behind yesterday’s shenanigans as it did seem strange that it wasn’t restricted to just the 1 site but was spread across the board with1 site having 2 threads at one point banging the drum, then again I am just a conspiracy theorist but you never know, law of averages dictates I have to get some of them right. If the decision goes against Carroll surely all is not lost as we have Carlton to come in, and considering the ties are probably 3 easier games then we should be ok, shouldn’t we? Unless of course the fact that the club used everything in their power either surreptitiously or not to get AC off shows that in fact they even realise that without him we are doomed, after all, it is in the next 3 games it is imperative that we gain at least 7 points and without AC perhaps they think/realise we won’t achieve that target. If we fail and then fail to collect 7 points in the next 3 and then if we are relegated by, say,,, 1 or 2 points, then the club have a ready excuse, it’s all Howard Webb’s fault and his stooges at the FA for sending our man off and not rescinding, totally ignoring the fact we didn’t have him for the opening 19 games of the season. Me and my conspiracies,,,, dear oh dear.
