Alan Pardew has called for more consistent punishments after Crystal Palace captain Mile Jedinak was retrospectively banned for four matches . Video footage showed the 30-year-old to have elbowed West Ham striker Diafra Sakho towards the end of the Eagles ' 3-1 win at Upton Park on Saturday . Jedinak was charged with violent conduct by the Football Association - a decision which irked manager Pardew , although the Australia international accepted it . Alan Pardew is n't happy with the FA after their decision to ban Mile Jedinak for his elbow on Diafra Sakho . The midfielder missed the Eagles ' late 1-0 defeat at Southampton as a result and will also sit out the upcoming Premier League matches against QPR , Stoke and Manchester City . 'Well , you kind of know as a manager that ( given ) the way it was sort of damned on TV that something was going to happen and that 's where we are , ' Pardew said . 'We have n't appealed so we will take the decision , but we want some consistency in it . The Palace captain ( 15 ) caught Sakho with his elbow during their win over West Ham at Upton Park . Although the officials did n't see the incident , the TV cameras did and Jedinak was condemned by the pundits . ' I could name three or four incidents this year where Crystal Palace should have had a player sent off against them retrospectively . 'But it was n't highlighted by the media and therefore it went under the radar , so to speak . This one did n't . ' Asked another question on the subject , Pardew retorted : ' I do n't want to go any further . I 've said my point on that . ' Pardew 's side lost 1-0 to Southampton at St Mary 's following Sadio Mane 's late strike .
