Uefa right

Sir: Far be it for me to defend Dennis Wise, whose appalling disciplinary record speaks for itself, but Uefa have surely made the proper decision by dismissing the "biting" charge against him.

It was quite clear from the television that the Real Mallorca defender was "raking" his fingers on Wise's neck and equally obvious that the Chelsea captain bit nothing but fresh air.

The incident was yet another example of a player being tried and found guilty by television and the lower forms of the press.
