davieG Posted 5 December 2008 Posted 5 December 2008 MP tables motion over Hume affair Illsley has called for a more robust response from the Football Association Barnsley MP Eric Illsley wants the FA to reconsider punishing Sheffield United captain Chris Morgan for his elbow on Reds striker Iain Hume. Illsley has tabled an Early Day Motion in the House of Commons over the incident in the Yorkshire derby match. He told BBC Radio Sheffield: "The FA can't hide behind the respect agenda and at the same time let this kind conduct is going on. "My call is for the Football Association to take a stronger line." The FA decided not to take any further action against Morgan after reviewing video evidence sent to them by Barnsley. Illsley has demanded in the motion to the Commons that the FA change their mind or get rid of Respect campaign all together. "The Football Association need to review this decision and either to take action against what can only be described as violent conduct or abandon its Respect Agenda in view of the lack of protection given to Iain Hume and the complete failure to deal properly with this issue."
dandannieldanok Posted 5 December 2008 Posted 5 December 2008 I can't see the FA revisiting this unfortunately no matter what this MP or anyone else says unfortunately.

If the FA don't act, and act strongly court actions needs to be taken against the player and the FA told, as part of the eventual judgement, exactly where their responsibilities lie. If ever the FA were guilty of their own familiar charge of bringing the game into disrepute it is over this issue. As many of us suspected, they've been absolutely pathetic.
Molson Canadian Posted 9 December 2008 Author Posted 9 December 2008 Another Picture http://s3.amazonaws.com/my.thescore.com/Co...DlydV6cR%2fw%3d "Things are looking encouraging on Iain Hume's road to recovery from a fractured skull, with the Daily Mail reporting the Canadian striker is setting a goal to return to training in two months. Hume also hasn't ruled out the possibility of playing before the end of the season according the report. Considering this wasn't just a career threatening injury but a life threatening one, I think we're talking about a best-case scenario if Hume is in fact able to return to training by February".
davieG Posted 16 December 2008 Posted 16 December 2008 MPs join call to review Hume case Five MPs have joined the call for the Football Association to review Chris Morgan's challenge on Barnsley striker Iain Hume. Labour MP Eric Illsley tabled an early day motion demanding the FA look again at the incident at Oakwell last month, which left Hume with a fractured skull. Sheffield United defender Morgan escaped further punishment after getting a yellow card for the elbow. But now the FA is now facing increasing pressure to look at the case again. Livingstone MP Jim Devine and Barnsley West MP Michael Clapham are the latest to lend their support to the motion. Portsmouth South MP Mike Hancock, Broxtowe MP Nick Palmer and Keighley MP Ann Cryer had already added their signatures after it was tabled last Friday. Hume, 25, spent 24 hours in intensive care after undergoing emergency surgery on his injury. The FA investigated the incident but concluded they could not prove Morgan had intended to injure him. But the MPs disagree and Illsley has called for the FA to drop their Respect campaign until the case is reviewed.
C-man Posted 16 December 2008 Posted 16 December 2008 Morgan scored a late equaliser for the piggy bastards on Saturday. He shouldn't even have been playing, the F.A. have cost Swansea 2 points.
