The FA has defended its decision to appeal against the ban handed to Wayne Rooney<\/a> following his sending off in England<\/a>‘s Euro 2012 qualifier against Montenegro<\/a> in October.<\/span><\/p>\n

Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish had accused the FA of double standards, as by their rules, Rooney would have faced an automatic three-game ban for his kick on defender Miodrag Dzudovic.<\/p>\n

Rooney will now only face a two match suspension after his punishment was reduced by one game, with the FA’s appeal in Nyon on Thursday proving successful.<\/p>\n

An FA statement read: “To promote speed and consistency, stakeholders in England agreed a standard formula encompassing a fixed penalty sanction should be applied across the game by The FA.<\/p>\n

“The system has been in operation for many years and meets the demands of the domestic game.<\/p>\n

“The FA’s system allows clubs to make a claim of wrongful dismissal – to reduce a sanction to zero – or appeal the severity of a sanction, both of these processes are dealt with prior to the player’s next fixture.<\/p>\n

“UEFA chooses to operate a different process for European matches, based on a sliding scale, under which each sanction is determined individually by a disciplinary panel.<\/p>\n

“In any event a minimum one-game ban will always be applied by UEFA.<\/p>\n

“This process meets the demands of UEFA football where the period between fixtures is greater than that in the domestic game.”<\/p>\n
