Fulham are concerned Aleksandar Mitrovic will not receive a fair trial amid the outrage at his actions in Sunday’s FA Cup meltdown against Manchester United.
There is concern inside the London club that after seeing their striker charged by the FA for shoving referee Chris Kavanagh at Old Trafford, the panel overseeing Mitrovic’s case will be swayed by calls for a significant ban, including one from Paul Field, the president of the Referees’ Association.
Sources at Fulham say they feel the reaction has been unfair, pointing out that other players have gone unpunished for similar behaviour, including Bruno Fernandes for pushing assistant Adam Nunn in United’s 7-0 loss at Liverpool.
Mitrovic was red-carded by Kavanagh but the FA have said the standard three-game suspension is ‘clearly insufficient’.
Fulham have until 5pm on Wednesday to file their written defence against the FA’s allegations, though they can request an extension.

Man united has alot of fan all over the world..so, if they punish Buruno the FA knows do not control the pressure that could come from unitd supporter....if players from Fulham make such the same mistake as Buruno Fernandez did it is easy to impose punishment on Fulham player b.c no worldwide pressure.

Bruno was parting the referee not shoving the referee with a quarrel
no actually Bruno's incident was looked into the referee put hands on him first so he had and was well within his right to pat the ref on the back

if Mitrovic ban 8 games why not Bruno for pushing linesmen. Is Manchester united bigger than the FA??
You need to learn kid! Use your brain well. The referee said it wasn’t part of his match day report. So why should we visit it. Besides e linesman didn’t do anything to Bruno. Bruno didn’t push him dummy

the question here is y will the linesman touch Bruno first knowing fully well Bruno want to hurry the ball into play. the linesman touch Bruno first which is an offense too. Bruno did not walk up to him and touch him first or complain to him but rather the referee did.

Bruno and Mitrovic actions are different..Aguero went unpunished when he held female referee's neck

Bruno Fernandez is another whining player. Always putting a petulant attitude but his shove is nothing compared to Mitrovic’s shove and ranting . He went a brigde too far

Bruno deliberately pushed a linesman and got away with not even a yellow card and Mitrovic pulled a ref from his upper arm to speak to him gets a red card may be banned for 8 matches. Reason, the FA is afraid of ManU dominance in the media and their huge fan support, while Fulham is relatively a small club that can be spanked any day by the FA.

Fernandez should have got a yellow, it was never a red card. But seeing how you justified Mitrovic (“pulled a ref from his upper arm”) shows your thought process. Cry more 🤣🤣🤣
