From BBC Sport.
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho will not be punished by the Football Association after the club successfully contested a charge that he swore in Portuguese during a win over Newcastle.
The FA used a lip reader and his remarks were interpreted as offensive during the 3-2 victory on 6 October.
But BBC Sport understands United produced a strong defence in its appeal and feel vindicated by the outcome.
The FA is surprised by the outcome and has not ruled out an appeal.
An statement from English football's governing body read: "A charge against Jose Mourinho for allegedly using language which was abusive and/or insulting and/or improper has been found not proven following an independent regulatory commission hearing.
"Written reasons for the decision of the independent regulatory commission will be published in due course. This decision is subject to appeal."
A TV camera filmed the Portuguese appearing to say something, and make a gesture with his right hand, as he walked off the pitch following his side's win over the Magpies.

To me this was one of the FA's most ridiculous charges in the first place.
Jose Cleared.

Good one
..............
I was going to apologise for that because it was well below the belt, but then I saw you had put Vinston on the Cricket Thread as well so let it sit.
I admit I can be a pedantic though. Not quite at Winstons level though. Who can?

The one on Leach. Yes.
We won't win a series in Sri Lanka with seam bowlers.

Your argument was that I couldn't do maths despite you agreeing my maths was correct.
It was a more ridiculous argument than the one where you defended nibbles with your black bar man quote.

If I asked you 2+2*2=? And you said 2018-2013=5, you'd be wrong, despite getting your sum right. Maths isn't about being able to do sums, it's about knowing which sum you need to do and then doing it. Dumbass.

How is 2018-2013= 5 wrong.

Thickest thing I've ever seen on here.
VC is the stereotypical grumpy and stubborn old fool.
Stratospheric levels of stupidity.
