Every case is handled differently, why he was given longer maybe they have their reasons maybe they don't? Maybe they just wanted to make a case of it because of the profile of him.

Rio was never found guilty of taking drugs, he just failed to give a sample to the drug testers!. So that's why he got a short ban than the others!.
Thanks. That was the answer to my first point. Profile. That's the reason we were harshly treated few times and you gave the answer yourself. Every case is dealt differently and REF said it wouldn't have sent him off. That was enough not to charge Rio.
The question you have to ask is why wouldn't he have sent him off? It is/should be a red card offence lol.
Ref disagrees with you.
I thought he will be banned for at least 3 games but looks like many disagrees with me too. It was ref's word going by what I read.
I remember some of the shocking challenges by Essien going unpunished without even getting yellow. And when some of the tackles like this gets yellow at best, I'm not really surprised that Rio went unpunished.

Essien looks somewhat pale on this gif.
I wouldn't say what Rio did is really ban worthy , i mean it was definitely red card and a completely stupid thing to do, why foul like this, no ball, no action, it can only hurt the team. I would expect 34 year old dude to use his brain a bit more.
But it wasn't really brutal, violent , knee-breaking thing. Heat of the moment brainfart, basically. Plus Torres falls like this at least 50 times per game so he's used to it.
Just didn't bother to write about Terry or post gifs of Essien. It was so obvious.
Remember how I said it may have something to do with the upcoming England qualifiers? Well Rio has been recalled.
So basically the same as they done with JT they wanted to keep him sweet? So disgusting though the way they operate don't you think.
It is quite underhanded. I don't think many United fans would have had too many complaints with a ban. As Sunil and I were alluding to, his lack of ban is not because he's Rio, although it doesn't make it any less wrong that he escapes.

And once again, we help you guys out to yet another title. You're very welcome (H)
Last season it was against Everton where we lost major ground losing 2 goals and 2 points in last few mins, looks like this season you pushed one step closer.
Btw, ManCity have taken just 4 points out of 24 against Everton. Moyes

Thanks.
Read that Schneiderlin is on last year of his contract. IMO he would be more than decent player for us effectively replacing Fletcher.
Not the greatest with ball at his feet but he is a good player and can provide good defensive cover. Only Lucas has better Tackles won per game, just 0.1 ahead and Schneiderlin has highest interceptions per game than any other player in the league.
