One word: Aliadiere.
Keith Lamb, Boro's chief executive, said (last week): "There is one rule for the big boys and another for the rest of us."

Right decision for the wrong reasons.
As red cards go, it was pathetic. However, as you're not supposed to have red cards rescinded for this reason (only 'mistaken identity'), this decision to reverse it should not been allowed to happen. Having said that, common sense has prevailed.
Now all we want to see is some consistency in the application of this (non-) rule, and not just for the highest-paid (as opposed to 'best') players.

Aliadiere raised his hands to Mascheranos face
Lampard didn't
THATS why theres 2 different rulings !!

The difference between Lampard's and Aliadiere's offences sure as hell ain't a FOUR-MATCH SUSPENSION.

From the lines man view it probably looked like a clear red, from the camera front facing it was a yellow.

Totally agree with Wozza. Frank's probably wasn't a red and Aliadiere's probably wasn't either, in comparison to what Mascherano did in the first place. No way is there a significant difference between the two incidents.
Correct. added to which he raised his hands and pushed him in the face - so there is no case for letting him of.
Is the FA also looking at the stamp by Makelele which was as bad as the Taylor one the week before.

Was bollocks then and bollocks now. Have you noticed how Southgate has said nothing? Aliadiere has said nothing? It was a clear red card, and it was obvious what would happen on appeal. They are morons. As hilarious as it would have been if Lampard got an extra ban, it has nothing to do with Aliadiere, it wasn't the same.

the problem with this and all other cards that are recinded, is a refs mistake may have altered the outcome of the game . In this case it didnt, but there have been cases where tight games have been ruined by a stupid decision which is subsequently recinded...the damage has been done

It bloody did, I lost points for Lampard getting sent off and not being on the pitch scoring goals which he does so well !!!

Sensible decision, well done to the F.A.
Lampard is a teriffic player and certainly not a malicious one, I am glad common sense has prevailed.

For gawd sake, it wan't Barwick that was sent off
It may or may not have been a sending off, but I wish there was some consistency at the FA

Certainly not a sending off so right decision to overturn the red card.
Aliadiere did raise his hands and as we all know that is a red card offence. What the FA should have done in that instance was uphold Aliadiere's 3 match ban and dish out the same to Mascherano who started it.
