The Swansea manager was speaking after the FAW refused to overturn Alan Tate’s Boxing Day red card and upheld his three match ban.<\/p>\n
Rodgers pointed towards his only previous dealing with the FAW when they addressed a letter to Paulo Sousa despite him leaving the club four months previous.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve only had two dealings with the Welsh FA. This is my second<\/p>\n
\u201cMy first dealing with the Football Association of Wales was when they sent an invite to the manager of Swansea to their awards dinner in October.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey make the invitation to the Swansea City manager and when it\u2019s opened up, it says to Paulo Sousa, I rest my case.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey send the invite to Paulo Sousa and I have been here four months.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen they kill our player when the other player gets nothing and they think they are being kind by only giving him three games (suspension).<\/p>\n
\u201cI only assume there is other things in their mind when they make the decision, but I will wait to hear their reasons as to why he (Hill) gets nothing and Alan Tate gets three games.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlan Tate gets a three-game ban by the Welsh FA. Clint Hill, in the same incident, gets nothing from the English FA.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy is that? How does that work?<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the same incident you get two players, one gets a three-game ban and the other player doesn\u2019t. Alan Tate gets sent off for violent conduct. He goes head-to-head with Jamie Mackie, so if it\u2019s violent conduct why does Mackie not get sent off and Alan Tate does?<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd why does Clint Hill get sent off when he sprinted 60 metres to join the group?<\/p>\n
\u201cHe gets off and our guy gets three games.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m interested to hear from the Welsh FA as to why he gets the three games.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
