The club have been charged with failing to control their players after they furiously harangued referee Robert Madley.

So ... the referee was WRONG to send off Colo ... yet the players were WRONG for telling him so!

Unbelievable. The sport is run by absolute IDIOTS!

An FA statement read: "Fabricio Coloccini will not serve a one-match suspension after his wrongful dismissal claim was successful.

"An Independent Regulatory Commission found that the match referee had made an obvious error in dismissing the Newcastle United defender for denying an obvious goalscoring opportunity during the game against Sunderland on Sunday 25 October 2015.

"Newcastle United have been charged for failing to control their players in relation to their reaction to the match referee's decision.

"The club have until 6pm on 30 October 2015 to respond to the charge."

Newcastle's successful appeal means Coloccini will now be available for Saturday's home Premier League fixture against Stoke.
