Allardyce off hook after ‘offside’ rant

West Ham manager Sam Allardyce will not face disciplinary action from the Football Association following comments made after his side’s 2-2 draw with Manchester United on Wednesday night.

Allardyce was upset assistant referee Harry Lennard failed to spot Robin van Persie was offside when he scored United’s second equaliser of the game and claimed it had cost the Hammers a “famous win”.

There was a suggestion the 58-year-old may have had to explain his comments to the FA but the governing body confirmed they will not be pursuing a disciplinary case.
