Selles In

[Snowflake Royal]

League One sort of helps tbf.

A few of our players have found their level and can begin to thrive here.

Although tbf I like Azeez in the champ too.

L1 does help but Azeez looked lost at the start of the season. Now he's on fire since Selles scrapped 4-2-2-2

Yeah the whole bloody team looked lost under Selles arrogant useless system. Ronaldo would be lost.

I along with many nobbers was a fan of Azeez even in the champ. Selles merely scrapped his idiotic 'system' that was hampering everyone's progress and allowed people to continue where they left off, albeit in a much easier league to shine and develop in.

If we must, I guess we can credit Selles for finally seeing the light but as far as I'm concerned he's shining despite Selles not because of him.

I'm certainly not giving Selles any credit for fixing a problem he himself created, much later than most of us clowns on here would have done.

If you can't do something better than nobbers, you've got no business being in management.

How long was his ban? I’m fairly certain he served it against Wigan (assuming it relates to the red card at Lincoln). He was on the touch line for Peterborough and Cheltenham (IIRC) and don’t remember him picking up any cards in either game to get a new ban.

Would think it was just one game, but I assumed he got sent off in the previous game. No idea what's going on then.

Yeah, really confused by this. The standard ban is one game and he wasn't involved against Wigan. So unless there was some confusion and the ban only kicked in after a certain date? Admin error somewhere.

Our staff get a lot of yellow cards, maybe he got one recently, perhaps in the tunnel or post match, and hit a suspension limit?

Just seen that he wasn't banned v Wigan as the process hadn't concluded. Can only assume there has been a miscommunication somewhere. Be very surprised if Selles got involved if he knew he shouldn't.

I assume worst case is we could lose the points won, as happens if an ineligible player plays but would hope for a fine/longer ban.

We really couldn't run a piss up in a brewery.

Hopefully it's the latter, as the club believed the suspension had been served against Wigan.

[Snowflake Royal]

You'd obviously like to see the FL take a collaborative and understanding approach with a generous interpretation of the regs for auch a stupid and ultimately pointless error.

It's hard to see them doing that to a club that's been taking the piss out of them for 5 years and keeps getting let off easy (in their eyes), when a strict interpretation of the laws is pretty damning.

For clarity, this is an FA charge not an EFL one.

I am pretty sure we’ll lose the points, but hope I am wrong.

Selles has affected the game from the touch line, and I can’t see the EFL having any other choice.

Ahh right, I hadn’t realised that.

[Hound]

Not sure it’s the same as an ineligible player playing

He’ll prob just have to serve the ban another game

Looking at previous E12 violations they seem to have been punished by fines and/or bans.

[Millsy]

Probably saving it for a must-win game.

I thought bans were automatic and that he'd therefore be banned for the Wigan game as it was the next league game. However he (Monica) was asked about the ban by Tim and told him that managerial bans weren't automatic and he'd have to wait to be contacted by the FL/FA to determine the punishment. So it seems he was right about them not being automatic and there was presumably some breakdown in communication between all parties. Wonder if the club will blame the postal system over xmas or the redundancies "forced on them" or both.

Hope the club don't get fined the 3 points and that the FA/FL just increase the ban to 2 or 3 games.

I thought that if you accept the punishment then the ban is automatic, but if you want to contest it or have a personal hearing to present mitigation there's obviously a delay while this happens.

Possibly. All seems to have blown out of all proportion given all he did was "kick a ball down the touchline, hardly as if he hurled abuse at officials, decked someone or violently kicked the ball across the pitch.

He deliberately prevented an opposition player from being able to restart the game to gain an advantage for his team.
