Because of "high powered" Scottish executives within the company, they twisted Eduardos punishment until they got the absolute maximum. Proof of this can be seen the following week during Celtics league game (I forget who they were playing). One of their best players Aiden McGeady is caught diving and is given a second yellow card, sending him off. Now, surely even though he was sent off he should still be liable to more punishment. But no, the rest of us get on with the game, because we're not all as big as twats as Celtic fans.
I don't really agree about Manchester being punished for being too powerful. If you look at their team they aren't really full of names that jump out as cheaters, or scum if you will (Especially now Ronaldo's gone). They are just a very good team with players who want to and can play good football.
They've already replaced Ronaldo with Valencia. People will try to deny it but it's true. Ryan Giggs is not a winger anymore and Park plays on the opposite side.
Yeah ano, they just have a habit of being bias towards...well...'those teams' like Man U an Celtic.
An yeah well if they have Valencia then they'll be a problem but he's no diver like Ronaldo so they'll have to find new ways to go corrupt. Which puts them at better risk of gettin into trouble with FIFA. But with it being Man U it doesn't really matter what they do I guess, same for Celtic :p
Like in the UEFA Cup (now Europa), when approaching the finals...Rangers never got any breaks or games in hand for the finals, they had to play them all out, whilst that Russian team, can't remember the name, got the breaks. Now if that was Celtic I bet they woulda got some breaks.
Edit: I remembered the team's name Rangers lost to in the UEFA Cup final, because they never had any breaks, whilst the other did and Celtic probably would have had it of been them in the finals. It was Zenit St. Petersburg!
