Sunderland player banned for 3 games but will miss 4 games

[Jimmy the Gent]

We think the rules up here are unjust at times.

Max Power (great name) was sent off in the league, misses 3 games but is suspended for their cup game tonight too, which makes it a 4 game absence for a 3 game ban

Bet he got his name from a hair dryer.

It's nuts they can't play tonight but I'm in favour of suspensions only applying to the tournament in which the offence(s) were committed

 

[Sam English]

Should change his name to Min Power for the next few weeks.

 

[Arminius]

It is a mental ruling.

How can you be suspended from playing a match, but that suspension doesn't count towards your suspension

 

[PunkScott]

How odd. The FAs response should be interesting.

 

[Numans_Left_Peg]

He's the man with the name you want to touch, but you mustn't touch.

 

[Bluenose1979]

Missing something here... why? I genuinely don't understand what the rule/reason is...

 

[Dalai Lammers]

Power Off

I crumpled when I read that. Well done my man, well done.

 

[StaunchGer54]

Power cut

 

[im_a_good_bluenose]

No power at all

 

[dapper dado]

the right way, the wrong way and the max power way.

thats the wrong way...but you get there faster.

Was down at the game on Saturday ..... not a very good challenge at all

Likewise

The referee performance after the sending off wouldn't have looked out place up here

Having seen his “performance” on Saturday as well as seeing Championship and EPL refs and then the 2 refs vs Ufa my conclusion is that all referees are attention seeking f**kwits not just the inadequate pile of horsesh1t we have officiating up here . Rant over

That is very true

 

[imvaison]

Outa Power

 

[Superrangers]

Power shortage.

Some clarification on the ruling below but frankly this is bollocks

Under FA rules a straight red card, which is deemed as a serious offence, carries a three-match ban from 'club football'.

The EFL Trophy is a first-team competition that has separate disciplinary rules, so if a player is suspended in a league game, the tournament's matches do not count against his tally of banned games.

So should an EFL Trophy game fall within the period where the player is banned, he will still be under suspension for the Trophy game as he is deemed not to have completed his ban.
