JK Sending OFF!

[Guest]

Can someone clarify is he supposed to miss the Grays match or can he play, to me it looks like the punishment starts 13th Jan.

 

"A player who is dismissed from the Field of play for receiving a second caution in the same match will be suspended automatically from all domestic League, League Cup, FA Challenge Cup matches and Friendly matches commencing on the 14th day following the match in which he was sent off, until such time as his Club's recognised Senior Team has completed one (1) match in an approved Competition during the period covered by its opening match in The Football Conference and ending with the final match in which the Club is playing in a domestic Competition organised by The Football Association, The Football Conference or matches concerning a Club's nominated County Senior Cup Competition."

Looks like a 2 game suspension.

I think it`s 2 games because it was his 2nd red card of the season.

 

Duffy is out for 1 game after reaching 5 yellows.

That's one thing I did not get about the Grays game...

 

...JK was sent off for two bookable offences against Cambridge and under FA rules was suspended immediately for the Grays and Accrington games.

 

Why was this not the case for Duffy? I do not recall him being booked during the Grays game so his fifth booking would've come at the Cambridge game or before. I would've thought his suspension would've started immediately too, therefore missing the Grays game as well.

 

Are there different rules for number of bookings in comparison to straight sendings off?

[David Holden]

The suspensions for totting up do not start immediately, they begin (I believe) 7 days after the 5th Booking.

 

Suspensions for sendings-off begin immediately.
