Leroy's headbutt

[zac naloen]

The FA has no balls, They need to be fining El Kakhouri for bringing the game into disrepute twice by going down and feigning non-existant injuries like he had been shot.

[Turns8]

Of course it has something to do with Poll...

He reviewed the video and also the FA should question his other decisions during the game...ie letting Song be subbed and not booking El Kakhouri for several dubious challenges during the game.

Don't think that Leroy can start complaining about people diving...

Who said anything about Leroy complaining?

[TFF]

Solves a selection headache for SSC with Shane promoted to the bench.

If Kitson and Doyle hit some form Lita may struggle to get back in. That'll learn 'im.

[TWRoyal]

From the official site:

Leroy Lita has been cleared of violent conduct.

'The FA sought clarification from match referee Graham Poll, who has confirmed that he did not see the incident but, having reviewed video footage, expressed his view that the incident warranted a warning that any future fouls may put him in the frame for getting a red card unless his manager heeded a sign from the referee that the player was about to get sent off unless he was substituted.'

Confused?

The offical site says Lita has been charged by the FA for violent Conduct and faces a hearing on 13th April.

He's obviously being sarcastic.

I wasn't even fishing.

Leroy - what a t*osser though, really. El Kark might have made a meal of the incident but there's no denying Leroy got involved where he shouldn't have. All that time Sir Steve has spent making his players into model professionals and Leroy undoes it with one foul swoop.

And I had just grown to admire his talents as well

[1960]

This really makes my blood boil. Yes, Lita shouldn't have done it but he didn't make contact, yet he will have a 3-match ban. Meanwhile Song walks free after actually kicking Sidwell up in the air. And Karkouri walks free after rolling about on the floor twice after minimal contact. And Poll has a cosy cuddle with Pardew to make sure no Charlton players get a red.

It's no wonder people like Warnock and Jewell get themselves into trouble for talking about referees. Supposing we we were in relegation trouble and all this happened? Supposing (like Sheff Utd and Hulse) we didn't have any other decent strikers?

[southbank1871]

IMO they should actually ban both players for 3 games. Leroy for being a twat and even making a headbutting motion, and El Karkouri for being an absolute cnut and going down like he'd been tazered.

Until the FA actually start cracking down on this kind of play acting it will continue.

[Stranded]

Oh well, shit happens.

Leroy won't be the first player to get caught this way and he won't be the last.

Simple fact is he shouldn't have done it. El Karkouri's reaction, though distasteful, is by the by really.

And he walks free after blatently pushing Shane Long in the box.

Typical barsteward Poll. Lets Song get away with murder, denies us a clear cut penalty, makes half-time arrangements to benefit Parjudas and then decides that Leroy deserves a red card for what the Sky tv pundits described as a nothing incident.

Given the idiot can't even count to two and sees so little in a game, his view of the post match video should count for bugger all.

Failing that, he should be asked to review the video for the rest of the game and explain his other bizarre decisions.

Whilst Poll made mistakes, I'm sorry, but if any ref had seen Lita do that he would have been off - no question.

Leroy screwed up, he'll get a ban - that's life.

National papers have already found him guilty and handed out a 3 match ban.
Good job we're not trying for Europe as we will probably only be able to rotate 3 strikers now.

Huh, source?

Which?
The papers or not trying for Europe?
The papers-look for yourself.
Not trying for Europe-Coppell.

Burden of proof lies with you, I'm not going out buying random papers until I find one specific story.

I'm not sure that burden of proof is necessary on a message board.
Was the official site announcement good enough?
Why not just try believing that what some of us write is what is actually happening?
What next?
Proof of I.D. and Money Laundering clearance before anybody posts anything?

The article on the official site was not saying that he's guilty, just that he's been charged by the FA.
