Why is Jenas in trouble?
It disgusts me that the F.A. have written to Jermaine Jenas when in fact they should have sent a first class stamped letter to their employee, Mr. Webb, asking him to explain himself.
They have asked Jenas to explain the remarks he made after the loss over the weekend; remarks to the tune of "it was like he (Webb) didn't think" and "it was like he'd already made his mind up when he came out for the second half that he was going to give something".
Will the Football Association never learn? Sure enough, they've tried to put the spotlight on Jenas, making sure that no one talks about their golden boy Howard. But did Jermaine actually say anything wrong? For those that were at the game, as well as those watching it on TV, Jenas' comments were spot on.
Instead of the F.A. making a statement in relation to the disastrous error made by Webb, they've gone and found a scapegoat and in effect done sweet F.A. in relation to how they're going to sort out their refereeing issues.

As for Webb, its a simple case to answer, did our so called best referee make a sequence of howlers , not just the pen loads of other stuff as well, or was it something more? Basically either he is an idiot and should be suspended for incompetence or he took a bung at half time. Personally I dont think he is an idiot.
Why is it that bungs and match officials are never spoken of in the same sentence?
It has happened in all the top leagues, yet the media in this country have dared not state that our referees could ever be paid off; "oh no, no, no! That sort of thing only happens in Italy".
I do wish that an independent source would seriously look into the goings on between refs and clubs.
If someone diggs deep enough, the fans and clubs alike may not like what is discovered.
the idea that an opinion should not be mentioned sounds like a fascism..
FA should stop bullying jenas and sort the referee situation etc
If we can get enough people to compain maybe they will catch on that things can't continue. Its up to us to do somthing and not just complain amongst ourselves. They been getting away with cheating in an effort to hand UTD the title year after yeart and unless everyone states their opinion it will continue
Remember the Mendez goal that was dissalowed against UTD?? That can only happen for a team like UTD. Maybe this site can start a ball rolling and getting the message out, iw ill gladly be part of anything done
This is where i was told i could email Keith Hackett by the FA
