Harding Appeal Thrown Out - Misses Swindon, Scunny & Rovers

Last updated : 14 October 2008 By Shrimpers24

Bummer!

Start picking defensive formations for the next three games now!

Well, I was the other side of the pitch but Tilly was five yards away and thought it was a tough decision by Mr. Kettle. However, our most consistant defender will not be available for the next three matches which include top of the table Scunthorpe United.

Tilly cannot repeat the Barrett left back experiment al la Orient in the JPT which plainly didn't work, mainly because of Sankofa in the centre with Clarkey, if the former Charlton man has to play it will have to be at full back which was were he finished at the weekend.

At the sametime Yeovil manager Yeovil Town manager Russell Slade has been hit by a charge from the Football Association, following the last home match against the Blues. The F.A. have charged Slade with a breach of FA Rule E3, namely "improper conduct", which can mean anything, but is almost certainly to do with an altercation with the match referee.

The event follows referee Keith Hill's decision to red card winger Danny Schofield for serious foul play - a decision later over-turned by the FA. In the aftermath midfielder Gary Roberts was also given his marching orders when he disputed Hill's decision, and it appears that Slade has now received a summons to Soho Square to explain his own actions after the final whistle, when he charged on to the pitch to have words with the official.

The FA's website does not give specific detail to the charge though, but Slade was highly critical of the Hertfordshire official after the game.

There is currently no response from Yeovil as to whether Russell accepts or disputes the FA charge, nor whether he plans to ask for a personal hearing. Given the dispute stems from - by the FA's own admission - an erroneous decision made by Keith Hill, it would not be a surprise if the club opted for a the personal option.
