Nasty tackle, but you if you react like that (especially in front of the ref) you can't really complain when you're sent off.

I wonder if the FA will take any retrospective action...

you're kidding right? he didn't punch him or anything, just a shove. a shove in the playground doesn't even get called a scruff. go to a metal gig and pushing is all the rage.
 
loving all the crying chelsea fans on BBC. mourinho's a genius, look at this whole campaign malarky he's started, the fact is the media don't care if martinez brought it up so we can't really say we should try that.

No I'm not. I agree about your sentiments and personally it shouldn't be, but a precedent has been set so that it constitutes violent conduct.

If you run over and push someone over at this level then you have to accept (or at least expect) a punishment. It's not rugby or a heavy metal gig.

Comparing them without considering the context of the offence, or the audience, doesn't work.

Suarez bit someone and got a mere football ban, yet if you did it in real life you'd be facing affray or ABH. Sports rules are sometimes funny things...
