The Football Association will tomorrow review television footage of Javier Mascherano's controversial red card at Old Trafford and also study the report of referee Steve Bennett before deciding whether to charge the Liverpool midfielder.

Argentina international Mascherano was sent-off for picking up two cautions during the Barclays Premier League game against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday - the second for dissent towards the match official.

Bennett's report is understood to make a point of mentioning the time it took an angry Mascherano to leave the pitch.

A decision from the FA is expected tomorrow afternoon, which is likely to result in a charge and could lead to an extended ban for the player.

What do you all make of this. Considering the new rules FIFA are going to impement regarding respect to referees its an interesting debate for football. However anyone who would have seen the red card would have tought it to be disgraceful and an over-reaction
