Jonjo Shelvey given a 5 match ban by FA for racial abuse to Romain Saiss

Blimey. That is a pretty serious suspension so there must have been something pretty bad in there.

Jonjo Shelvey given a 5 match ban by FA for racial abuse to Romain Saiss

There is a 7 day appeal process meaning Shelvey can train and play up till and including Boxing day.

My thoughts exactly. My only concern is that it has taken so long for the punishment to be announced.

I'm guessing on a matter like this it isn't a simple case of review video evidence and job done. Serious accusation that needs proper investigation and then give the player a chance to defend himself and then deal with it.

As I expected, Jamie Vardy has lost his appeal against his red card at Stoke.

As I expected, Jamie Vardy has lost his appeal against his red card at Stoke.

..and it clearly should have been overturned

 

[Tony Towner]

Wasn't ever going to be overturned as it was a matter of opinion, therefore the ref was always going to be supported

 

[Freddeno]

He was pushed, dragged his feet in to avoid dangerous play.. Clearly tried to avoid contact.. Verdict FA is corrupted and clearly tries to take pressure off the ref who got rojos tackle wrong.. Barkley should have been sent off against Liverpool btw

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Barkleys tackle was disgraceful, and he should have been sent off, but that had no bearing on the Vardy appeal. Personally I think Vardy was a little unlucky to be sent off, but there was little chance of it being overturned.

it has been many overturned red cards this season, many worse than this and I think FA is trying to protect the ref in this case

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Nah. Never going to get overturned Fred.
