THE DECISION by the FA to Charge Henri Camara following his tackle on Southampton's Jason Dodd shows a total example of "double standards".

Henri Camara is to be charged by the FA for the tackle on Dodd, despite Camara receiving a yellow card by referee Mark Halsey at the time and should Camara be found guilty, he will receive a three match ban.

Earlier in the season, Middlesbrough's Danny Mills goaded Lee Naylor following 'Boro's first goal, but the FA stated at the time that they could not take any further action as the referee had taken action out on the player in question

The Football Association told this website in November "As a result of the fact that the referee (and his assistants) saw the incident and took action to sanction the player involved, we do not have jurisdiction to intervene and take further action against the player".

This shows a total example of double standards. Henri Camara was cautioned at the time, as was Danny Mills on November 1st. The FA were unable to take action on Danny Mills at the time, but in almost identical circumstances, Henri Camara now faces a three-match ban.

To make matters worse for Wolves, the news of Camara's charges comes in a week in which the Referee's Association are expected to take action on Sheffield Based Uriah Rennie for his horror show at Molineux in which he denied Wolves several clear-cut penalties.
