Villas-Boas: FA's Torres ruling 'a disgrace'

FA decision not to ban Fernando Torres for scratching Jan Vertonghen 'disgrace', says Tottenham's Andre Villas-Boas

Andre Villas-Boas on Wednesday night launched a withering attack on the Football Association over its “disgraceful” and “farcical” decision not to ban Fernando Torres for scratching Jan Vertonghen’s face.

The Tottenham manager Villas-Boas lashed out on the same day a frustrated FA insisted that it was not to blame for Torres avoiding becoming the first player to be tried by its new three-man panel of former referees.

Villas-Boas branded its decision over the Chelsea striker “a joke” after the Spaniard was caught on television raking the face of Spurs defender Vertonghen, leaving visible marks.

“It’s extremely difficult to know where to start,” the Portuguese said. “Obviously, it is almost a farcical decision. It doesn’t matter to me which player or club is involved.

“Neither do I want to with my words put into question Fernando’s integrity, neither their manager’s, in trying to defend what is our position.
“I think the FA has made a decision almost a joke. It looks incredible. How can you see the images, pretty clear, and come out without punishment, on something [which] overtakes all professional behaviour?
