Retribution against the referee for making a mistake is pointless. Two things need addressing.
1) Fairness & Equity meaning that the yellow card is quashed & FF isn't punished again when clearly the victim in this case. He has already been punished by not getting a free kick, Hull City getting a free kick & getting sent off.
2) Re-training and coaching of the referee to ensure that he doesn't make mistakes like this again.
Both these issues should already have been addressed by the FA.

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
