Because Martin Atkinson was staring right at the play and blew it the FA won't do anything because they think it would make the ref look bad. As if it were possible. They aren't even saying that Barnes's tackle was acceptable (I've seen people argue it but I don't buy it) but are just refusing to admit their ref is a clown.
Edit: They're giving Atkinson the week off, so they're not even pretending that he did a good job, but they still won't actually fix the problem. Did they hire Colin Campbell when no one was looking?
