Good to see the FA haven't been swayed by Mourinho's diversionary tactics. Maybe there was intent, maybe Matic came on his blindside after he'd played a pass, it's hard to tell from a video. When it happened none of the Chelsea players complained until Matic leapt up and got himself sent off.
Given that we've got City coming up it seems a bit self-defeating for Mourinho to try and get Barnes suspended.

I assume that the FA will be looking at Costa kicking Shackell whilst the ball is nowhere near. Admittedly Shackell hasn't got the idea of hurling himself to the ground at the lightest touch yet (about 8 seconds in https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxXQi0mSqNvaT2VmNG11dEd3TzBjbzBNcHJST0RKNDZPcEVr/view )
