Charlie Austin should've taken his foot away, simple.
He's always been a bit of a clumsy lump.
I remember a few seasons back, when he came on for QPR v Albion at Loftus Rd.
His fat ass brutally pushed the ball into our net, twice, no punishment then!

Only a matter of time before someone mentions that it is kowtowing.
I always thought that it was cow tailng so even at 74 years old you can learn something thank you.
Not even sure that would work because the ref deemed it accidental at the time therefore it wouldn't be looked at right?

So do I agree on this. Tomer's 'stamp' (which I still believe was not intentional) went almost un-noticed until the pundits picked it up and started going on and on - and on and on - and on - about it until the FA thought they'd better be seen to be doing something. Tomer's suspension was, in my opinion, media driven, and that should not be the way players get suspended.
On the broader level, I do believe football has gone soft - I played (at a low level and very badly) in the 60s and early 70s and really used to enjoy sliding tackles (at school we were coached on how to do them!), and the general physicality of the game; by today's standards, most of the games I played in would have ended up as five-a-sides! But even back then, there were certain protocols. Anyone in Charlie Austin's situation when the keeper had clearly got the ball and there was nothing to 'go for', would have seriously tried their best to hurdle over the keeper without hitting him.

Disgusting 'challenge' but I wouldn't expect anything else from that dirty, chavvy CJTC.
Three games is not long enough.

It will be a meaningless ban then (assuming he's injured for longer than three games). It would be common sense if the ban started when he was fit again (though the club would probably declare him fit even if he wasn't - don't know how you can police that one), but common sense doesn't always apply. It's a bit like the penalties for seriously bad driving - six months gaol and a three months driving ban - well, he ain't going to be doing much driving in his six months in gaol, is he? (if they've now modified it so the ban starts when he comes out, I apologise, but I don't believe they have).

There is hope for The Middle East if BG and SS can get along.

Son came up with an idea which I think is quite good. Managers are always in the 4th officials ear so why cant he note the time of any o=incident mentioned and rthe 4 officials whichg those specific incidents after the game and make a decision on whether or not they have missed something that had they seen at the time taken action on.
