Had that been the case then Sam could have made a complaint or referred to that in his defence as mitigation. He didn't. I like Sam as a fiery competitor but to me he's always got this in him be it verbal or physical.
Take it away from him and he's less effective I guess so the club has to take the rough with the smooth.
Could do with getting the season completed now because if we don't that's a large chunk of early next season he's missing.
Maybe offering Conneely fresh terms would be a good move now.

Seeing as we have no budget plans for next season I think that isn't an option at the minute when June 30th comes round all out of contract players will be in a kind of limbo if the inadequate EFL doesn't get its act together, as for Finley my thoughts on him have been touched on this forum before his temperament and at times reckless immature behaviour don ,t warrant is talent or lack off to be a first choice IMHO.

His previous record at Fylde didn't help either.

Or losing his footing at Charlton last year as a number on here and within the club unsuccessfully floated ( not you before you spring into type).
Accept the point re bite to his game, but there are basic human standards for all.

Maybe social distancing and a face mask 😷 will add to his game going forward.

exactly. if he,d have kept his mouth shut, then really did him in a bad tackle putting him out for the season he,d have been sent off and only got a three match ban. i know lots will disagree with me but it seems that name calling is actually worse than a violent action. much rather someone saying something to me than breaking my leg.
 
Hardly just name calling though is it mate ?
Had he said you've got a backside wider than the channel tunnel then everyone laughs it off.
He didn't.
 
He,s actually banned for 10 games 2 for collecting 10 yellow cards that is virtually a quarter of a season liability.
 
Just had a little look at soccer base. In fairness to Sam his record has improved since Fylde, his first season there suggests 7 appearances in which he collected 3 reds and 4 yellows in the others.
His second season was another 3 reds and 12 yellows. One of the Reds seems to be when celebrating the teams 6th and his 2nd goal v Aldershot in a 7-1 victory!

On a more serious note, not a great look to be lying to a referee in the company of the manager.
Having read the transcript I note he attended the FA to discuss shortly after in early January which is what I heard at the time. I seem to recall him then missing a few games with an “injury” and assumed an accommodation with the FA had been reached, clearly not.

I don't recall anyone calling him a liability when he scored the 95th minute winner against Lincoln, yes he made a mistake but let's hope he's learned from it & not start turning on our own players
 
No one’s turning on him just stating facts.
Hes needed on the pitch not sat in the stands and being brutally honest he’s let the fans down.
For Simpson’s sake we’ll smooth over Charlton !
 
Interesting story on the Beeb, a Leicester Tigers player was banned for 10 weeks, but due to Coronavirus and the lockdown, he won't miss a match! As the season still has 9 games to go, I wonder if Sam will only miss one match next season?

Unfortunately not, different rules for Rugby & Football although I don't see why
