I agree Biscuit. It's not really right. Zaha should have got three matches as it was a straight red offence.
Not all straight reds carry a three game ban.

Those involving Zaha do - if I have anything to do with it.
In that case, only three?
Then open that can of worms.
The rule at present is a farce.
1 Match.
It also appeared that the linesman was looking straight at the incident and saw nothing wrong with it either.This.
Apparently the FA were unable to take any action because the 4th Official saw it clearly and decided nothing was wrong so it had been seen and no action taken. So the main culprit is the 4th official. As you say the rules need changing so that action can be taken retrospectively if they consider it necessary and deserving. I think a ban for Zaha for this is wrong, although as it is Zaha probably not, but Sir Alex probably added his twopenneth to stop him playing.
Hopefully Holloway will let him sit on the bench for that match to help get him ready for next season
I bet the rest of the Palace players are pleased. They might actually get passed the ball in the attacking third.
Let's hope Bridge wasn't at the personal hearing FA front door to meet him. Yes, that's right, he wouldn't have got past him.
