Hm. Don't think this is fair, considering Heskey only got a yellow for pushing, shouting and following a ref across the pitch.
 
Our players were being absolute ***** to Mason vs Liverpool. Thought he had a good game myself. Shame on Baird.

Rooney got a 2 game ban for swearing at a camera.
He's been charged with swearing at the referee on camera.. If he doesn't get a two game ban it will bring up the whole "FA is inconsistent" palava..
 
Isn't retrospective action meant to be used if the referee didn't see something? Which he clearly did here...

I imagine the yellow card was for the tackle. Mason probably didn't mention the gesture in his report.

Baird has been banned for two games.
