Warnock not charged!!!!!

[papereyes]

The right outcome really. Warnock is a tool, but he wasn't the one who walked out of his techinical area and pushed over a memeber of the opposing team's staff!

Exactly.

I do like "reminded of his responsibilities" - that's shorthand for something ...

[Stranded]

Yep, no complaints here. As there is no proof that he told anyone to do anyone the only thing he is guilty of is misjudgement. The reminding of his responsibilities seems the correct course of action in this case.

[SpaceCruiser]

"Pushed over" is rather a bit strong. It was a mere shove that didn't send Warnock sprawling to the floor.

I still think that there is a cause and effect. If Warnock hadn't made that gesture about stamping, Downes might not have reacted like he did.

Still, the FA was correct to charge Downes, but to let Warnock off is a bit wrong. If he didn't do anything wrong, why was he sent to the stands?

[Vision]

Why did Warnock decide to bring up the Sidwell tackle immediately after Gillespie had been sent off?

Heat of the moment, you sent off my player, and Sidwell's was the worst tackle blah, blah.

I guessed he'd have no charges to face because I saw him mouth 'Sidwell's tackle' on the highlights.

I also saw him mouth the words "break his f*****g leg(s) " on Sky's Match choice later on in the evening. Of course whether he was talking about Sidwells tackle or issuing an instruction is open to conjecture.

The FA aren't saying he was completely blameless, that's why they have reminded him of of his responsibilities. I'd agree with the FA that his actions don't warrant a formal charge.

[alad]

Good to see common sense has prevailed and the thug Wally Downes is being rightfully punished for his hateful antics.

If a fan had misread the situation and shoved a steward he would have got a banning order.

We all know the truth and that is Downes doesn't like Warnock and was just looking for any old excuse to have a pop. In the process he has shamed the good name of Reading FC that Coppell has spent the last few seasons trying to create.

[Arch]

hateful antics.

And I laughed and laughed...

I'm still wiping away the tears.

As I said I saw 'Sidwell's tackle' quite clearly, the referee heard nothing to suggest 'improper'.

I didn't make my point clear. When he mouthed " break his f******g leg(s) he's not talking to Halsey. I'll lay money it's not anywhere in Halsey's report.

Maybe he didn't want to do anything about it that might cause problems he'd rather not deal with?

Here's some examples from your 1st or is it 2nd team???







There are loads more.

The stamping on Southgate
The vicious elbow on McAteer.

You see, when it comes to 'hateful antics' between your favourite team and Reading, there is only one answer...

Are you completely blinkered?

[Woodcote Royal]

Whilst we have much to thank Wally Downes for, he was provoked in to aggressive behaviour by the obnoxious Colin who, no doubt through lack of evidence, will get away with just a caution.........................always the most likely outcome in my book.

But, Gillespie deserves a long ban for his second assault on Hunt after he'd already seen red.....................get a transfer to wherever you fancy, Sunshine, you won't be playing again until spring is in the air

In which case Hunt is guilty of Gillespie elbowing him, because if he'd been meek and backed away rather than standing up to Gillespie when he charged at him then Gillespie would never have elbowed him.

Sorry, just re-read what I wrote. A shove is what I should have put.

One slice of humble pie please.
