Great, so we'll find out the day before the game if we'll lose a key player. That's the game plan to re-arrange then.
Nobody seems to know right information of rules by FA some say takes 2 week affect tykes tv etc others say instant ban surely somebody knows rules
If we lose the appeal he is banned If we win the appeal he isn't. The 2 week thing does not apply anymore as it also restricts frivolous appeals.
Yes would be done by tomorrow at latest. May have already been decided but the club may not say anything, we don't seem to rush out with news like this.
Yes, but we'll have been working on a game plan all week with the starting 11. This will include McGeeghan. No McGeeghan = change of starting 11 = change of game plan. On a Friday ....
Cause this is thriller Thriller night And no one’s gonna save you From the ban about to strike (sorry.... wrong thread, plus a bit too dramatic)
According to the FA Disciplinary manual the outcome should be known today:- Matters falling within this Fast Track 1 shall ordinarily proceed in accordance with timetable set out herein.

As a general guide, the following schedule will ordinarily apply: General Guide (where the incident takes place on Fri/Sat/Sun) Charge 6pm Tuesday Reply / Submissions 6pm Wednesday Regulatory Commission Thursday
I’ll admit, not having McGeehan would be a blow to us but I don’t think for a second that we haven’t prepared for the game without him.
Even worse when you see the limited grounds for appeal - definitely an assumption of 'guilty unless proved innocent', unfortunately. Worse still is that the hearing is taking place in Monkwearmouth and the panel is a Mr P Collingwood, a Mr S Cram and a Ms K Adie
Let’s be honest nowt really goes in our favour with stuff like this so I’m just going to assume he’s been banned until I’m told otherwise.
