Re: Charlton Thread.
 

Maxted's red card has been rescinded but Sam has been charged with violent conduct

Re: Charlton Thread.
 

He’ll not got away with that.
3 match ban on its way.

Re: Charlton Thread.
 

Aye thats good but still deprived us of our penalty specialist.:(

Re: Charlton Thread.
 

They are after MORE than 3 matches it says on fishy,

Re: Charlton Thread.
 

Lyle Taylor's red card has been upheld - footage must've shown he was the instigator

Re: Charlton Thread.
 

Then to me the grinning shows he got what he wanted.

Re: Charlton Thread.
 

Still can’t believe, especially in this day and age of feigned injury, that a player who had has his head stamped on or raked with a studded boot would get up without rubbing his head, and walk away laughing. This is a guy playing football, not rugby.
Taylor’s behaviour suggests that Finlay, if he tried, didn’t connect, either that or Taylor’s head is made of wood, which I doubt.
So, if it was attempted violent conduct, would that carry a similar sanction to actual violent conduct?
And if attempted violent conduct is punishable, why isn’t Charlton’s No.4 being ‘cited’ for the ‘challenge’ on Billy Kee caught by Kippax’s camera?

Re: Charlton Thread.
 

Probably because its only Accrington Stanley?

Re: Charlton Thread.
 

Sam quite rightly charged. Hopefully he will see the error of his ways and behave better in future.
Hopefully Andy H makes his views on good conduct known to the players and management team as he alluded to on Twitter and that those of our fans who are still in denial reflect at some point that it’s ok to admit you are wrong now and again.

Only a matter of time before some of the legal minds exhibited on this thread are “called to the bar”, I’m just not sure whether it will be The Crown or the Hare and Hounds !

Re: Charlton Thread.
 

In answer to my own question, it appears that ”striking or attempting to strike an opponent” is one and the same offence.

Re: Charlton Thread.
 

That's a very patronising remark Lord D, I don't think any of us were 'in denial' - just waiting to see if there was some clear evidence of the alleged incident.

Re: Charlton Thread.
 

Doesn’t matter where Sam is concerned.
Retaliation is as bad as instigation.
He’s in bother.

Re: Charlton Thread.
 

From the Fishy site;
'It is alleged the standard punishment of three matches that would otherwise apply is clearly insufficient'
Bother indeed!
Only goes to show there is no hiding place for any player in today's game.
I'm sure the jury will scrutinise the video in forensic detail before any verdict.
Sam is a talented young player but, if this case is proven, a moment of petulance may result in a lengthy ban & will cost us dearly.
No doubt he will have plenty of time to reflect on how his actions have let the club down.
We've always prided ourselves on playing the game without malice.
When a national newspaper is running a video that infers the opposite, that reputation is destroyed.
Fingers crossed for a lenient judge. :o

Re: Charlton Thread.
 

Sad but if proved then hope he gets whats deserved. no argument from me if thats the case.
