SCHOLES COULD BE HAULED IN FRONT OF THE FA

Last updated : 13 February 2004 By Editor
The Times reports that Paul Scholes could end up in front of the
FA’s Video advisory panel after the altercation on the pitch
with Doriva on Wednesday. It all depends on whether Paul
Durkin saw the incident, if not the FA will get involved.

“We are awaiting Paul Durkin’s report and we will have to ascertain
what sort of view the referee had of the incident,” an FA
spokesman said. “If the referee is happy with his
interpretation of it, that will be the end of the matter. If
he writes that he did not see the original incident, then we
could look into it.”

Seeing as Durkin had his back turned at the time of the incident,
it looks as if Scholes may be in trouble. It’s a pity he
doesn’t play for Arsenal, their players seem to get away
with things like this every week.
