Graham Poll Cranks Up The Pressure on Plattenberg

On SSN right now - just making sure Mark Clattenberg understands that his demotion from the elite panel will be re-enacted if he fails to please the FA City witchhunter mafia in his Ade report.

Re: You do know he will get about 8 game ban.....

How long did Cantona get for drop kicking that fan a few years ago?

9 months....

Exactly and that wasnt pre meditated was it. He was insulted from the crowd and in the "spur of the moment" reacted.

Re: Graham Poll Cranks Up The Pressure on Plattenberg

He's a twat, saw it earlier. Who is he to say what should happen? This is the same old prat which gave three yellow cards to one player, rewriting the rules of the game by himself.

Re: You do know he will get about 8 game ban.....

I've been reading the FA disciplinary guidelines and can't see how it would be possible to take any further action in the case of the goal celebration

When is The FA prevented from taking action?
FIFA guidelines aimed at avoiding the “re-refereeing” of matches generally
prevent The FA from taking disciplinary action on incidents which are seen and
dealt with at the time by the match officials (this includes taking no action). As a
general rule, if the match officials see an incident and have jurisdiction to take
action, The FA cannot act retrospectively.
For instance, these guidelines prevent The FA from upgrading/downgrading
yellow and red cards based on retrospective advice provided by the match
referee.

This is pretty clear.

Also in the case of the stamp (and it was a stamp) then he would only receive the same sanction as he would have had the referee seen the incident, and there are set penalties offered.

Incidents not seen by the match officials but caught on video
How it works
Applies to the more serious sending-off offences (violent conduct, serious foul
play, spitting, offensive/insulting/abusive language or behaviour) where the
match officials did not see the incident. The purpose is to put the player in the
same position as if the incident had been seen by the match officials.
The Compliance Department is guided by the referee’s view of whether the
incident merited a dismissal.
The processes mirror the timings and sanctions that would apply had any of the
match officials seen the incident and the referee then sent the player off.
A charge must be issued within two working days of the incident, with a response
due from the club within one day of receipt of the charge.
When a charge is issued, a set penalty is offered (eg. three matches for violent
conduct).

Finally, he can't appeal against the decision, only against the sanction and can only appeal sanctions which are longer than a 3 match ban.

Appeals
When are they allowed?
For incidents not seen by the match officials, appeals are against sanction only,
not the decision of guilt. In addition, appeals are only permitted for suspensions
over 3 matches, and only against the part of the suspension over 3 matches (eg
the fourth match of a four-match ban). There is no right to personal
representation for either the participant or The FA – the appeal is on submitted
evidence only.

With all of that, I reckon Ade's looking at a three match ban for the stamp. It would show that they had taken decisive action over an incident which rightly or wrongly is very much in the public eye, and city would be unable to appeal.

That said, they a still a bunch of useless twatters
