I agree with you that banning players after the match is a good thing, although I am struggling to see what Hemed did as violent conduct.
What really annoys me is the ridiculous rule that if the referee saw the incident, no action can be taken. I find that a really odd rule. If you are acting...
Agreed. I find it very odd that the FA are jumping on this incident when so many others go by unpunished. I do sometimes feel that the smaller clubs in the league get punished when bigger ones don't. If Hemed played for Manchester United or Chelsea, I doubt he'd have been charged.
Of course it could. Hemed held the ball up really well on Saturday. A young forward would struggle to be as effective meaning more pressure on the midfield and defence
I really don't understand the 'nothing to lose' comments. If we lose 6-0 on Sunday, our goal difference will be a lot worst and confidence will take a hit. In terms of points, you are right but not overall
