Im sorry that is an absolute joke. Yes he has pushed him, but 3 games, for that.
Absolute joke. Leicester player swipes his leg so he gives him a shove. [Post edited 13 Mar 16:14]

I’m even more confused now.
Where’s the hair pull??
It’s just a push after he kicked out? |  |

Wow. If that is equivalent to a red card we ought to have ended up playing 8 or 9 men in most games this season. I hate conspiracy thinking but this looks very very strange indeed. |  |

Yep, not at all like it was described on the other thread. I didn't even hear anyone mention this after the game. If this is what we are doing retrospective action for this game is more gone than we thought. | |

After the week we've had with officials, this feels like the cherry on top from the EFL. |  |

That's an absolute joke.
As the old Japanese saying goes, "the nail that sticks out gets hammered down".
I don't want to get all tin-foil-hatted, but I do wonder if this would have been so much of an issue if the club hadn't been so outspoken about the quality of refereeing the last week. | |

Two wrongs don't make a right but Okoli clearly kicks out at him first which is a sending off and violent conduct ban in itself but that's been ignored for some reason.
Hard to see any hair pulling unless it's in the first bit when Davis has his arm out towards him but you can't really tell. Assume there must be another angle they've looked at. |  |

It's honestly absolutely ludicrous, it really is.
Clubs invest so much by way of time, effort and money. Football is already a game of small margins, but for the authorities to think they can oversee decisions like this is bonkers. It's people's livelihoods at stake.
It might sound OTT and like Liverpool levels of salty but I genuinely would be getting the legal team in engaged at this point. |  | | |

Did they think the first challenge was a hair pull? They’d have needed a better video that the TV coverage to have worked that out. If it was, fair enough. It’s not violent, but it would be embarrassing. If it was given for the push after their bloke kicked Leif, that’s another shocker of a decision. |  |

That's a yellow card for both players, surely? Guy has a nibble at Leif who then gives him a shove back. No way is that violent conduct and a three match ban. We've been on the receiving end of far worse with no punishment. I'm not one for conspiracies but it's getting a bit ridiculous now the treatment we've been receiving. |  |

...and swings his leg to catch Leif - and in hindsight Leif's better course of action was to go down himself as if shot - Simone-style.
I can only assume that when Leif shoves the weak as p*** Thomas out of the way to get to Okoli (who, BTW is absolutely enormous) he then uses his hands to reach out to grab the attacker's shirt and inadvertently gets his hair.
There is no point in us having a retrial here, but there is no way that is deliberate - LD is looking at the ball the whole time - it is a function of Okoli's fashion choice, and to my mind that is significant mitigation. | | | |

For the second time in a week, how on earth can the officials claim that they haven't seen this?
The alleged hair pull happens while Davis is heading the ball away, with both ref and linesman looking right at it. There's nowhere else to look!
There must be another angle of this which confirms the hair pull clearly, Shirley. |  | | |

I've seen more violent conduct at a 5 year old's birthday party. Modern football rally is pathetic. |  |

Absolutely mental, lol. Incompetency at the highest level. There's no way Leif gets banned for that and the other player should get away with nothing when he clearly swipes at him. |  |

Trouble is that’s the only angle apart from maybe the high camera in SBRU if it was there.
Unless the club were made to send in any footage they had recorded? But then they could say they didn’t have any surely. | |

They may have seen it but didn't mention it in the report as they didnt feel it was worth it.
But because it wasnt in the report its over to the fa to decide. |  |

This is it. Leif could have gone down like he was shot and rolled about but instead gave the guy the shove he deserved for kicking out at him. He hasn't chinned him, he hasn't pulled out a gun and shot him, he gave him a shove. 3 games ? Do me a favour. | |

I can't see the hair pull as the old eyes are going but if the EFL have a clear angle of it i'm afraid we'll have to suck it up. They crack down on that as harshly as if he'd straight up punched him.
We just have to use these setbacks to rally the club/squad/support in our favour. No other alternative. | | | |

Yep a yellow for both would’ve been sufficient and we wouldn’t have had all this.
F’cked over by Busby again. | |

But the ref then spoke to both players… so if he did that and didn’t caution at the time, how can it be subject to further charges afterwards? |  |

The reason Sorba Thomas was missing our game in the week is because he got sent off for a little kick out just like that.
It would be helpful to see the evidence in cases like this, otherwise it’s only going to fuel more anger against officials. | |

I was just on Town TV trying to find it, didn't realise Watson had posted it. I assumed it was that incident which I do remember live but I was trying to work out if I'd missed something blatantly violent.
This is madness. It absolutely can't be for the push after Okoli tries to kick Davis (any mention of this from the EFL yet?), which means it must be for a supposed hair pull just as the ball is coming down, but how on earth have they found enough evidence to confirm that and surely you have to account for that sort of thing with the amount of grappling that is now allowed, along with players having long hair.
Also, why did we accept the charge? In case the ban got increased?
What a week. [Post edited 13 Mar 19:14]

I can only assume that they had access to a different camera angle. Of course, Ashton would have had the access too and he is rather p*ssed off about the response. [Post edited 13 Mar 16:37]
