The Daily Hilario: Teflon Don Martinez escapes FA punishment

I'm putting this here because a) I'm a little late to it, b) it's slightly off-topic and c) if I were to do a proper article on this, I fear it may end up slightly more unprofessional than my standard fare.  Inconceivable, I know, but check it out.

So after the 3-3 and the offside goal in the 98th minute, Mr. Nice Guy And Wholesome Teflon Don Martinez lost his [shoe] and went off on a tirade.  A selection of words he used to describe either the referee or the "level of refereeing" included horrific, diabolical, shocking, hurtful, incredible.  "All you want is the referee to do his job," clearly insinuating that he didn't.

Martinez's punishment for these comments, which are clearly attacking the referee:  nothing.

That's right, nothing.

Not a thing.

Nothing.

...the FA has decided there is no case to answer because Martinez did not question referee Mike Jones' integrity and was not personal in his criticism. Managers are allowed to express their opinion on decisions and performances by officials.

LOOOOOOLLOLOLLLOOOOOLLLLLL

(It's not the first time the Teflon Don escapes punishment of course.  Having just finished 2.5 seasons under Mourinho, I find all this absolutely flabbergasting.)
