Kitching (6 Viewers)

[fernandopartridge]

well he's clearly not seen it properly and has got it wrong

unless being headbutted repeatedly counts as head to head contact

Kitching did lean in a bit at one point but wasn't the aggressor overall, I would be surprised if we win the appeal mind

Kitching didn’t touch him. But if he hadn’t been held back he would have killed him

Mind you he’s some unit that Bambi Diaby he is as wide as he is high.

the ref was Oliver Langford..................................I think we'd have been better off with Bonnie fucking Langford

Lucky the new enforcer KP was nowhere near the scene - it would have made Saudi's heavyweight day of reckoning look like amateur hour with Diaby ending up in the 10th row.

Think he's related to Reda Johnstone in some way, probably check his piss
?

On the EFL highlights, they specifically told viewers to watch the incident, the big lump Diaby headbutts Kitching as the whistle blows. Kitch is taken by surprise and doesn’t retaliate, then Diaby tries again, then all the players pile in including O’Hare from the bench!
Kitching is the innocent party and Diaby should get banned for more than 3 games.

Were there any verbals to spark it off though?
It wasn't a nasty game, ok the ref got some fouls for both sides wrong, but it wasn't a nasty game. Surprised a bit of pushing and shoving in the box by both escalated so quickly.

Took me by surprise, some of the players on both sides seemed a bit nonplussed by it all. I can't help but feel there is more to it than meets the eye?

The referee was attention seeking all match. Had very little to do but felt the need to be seen and was ultra fussy about where throw ins etc were taken. Absolutely no need to send either player off and should have used common sense especially as the match was over. We've seen much worse comings together in most matches this season.

I think we have had a few good refereees recently but not this one.

Fortunately we have a bit of depth at central defence. Although he has probably been our best player of late there are players who it would have been even worse to lose.

He couldn’t really ignore a head “ butt”

The first ? It was after the final whistle.

Wouldn’t matter if there had been some verbals, the Wednesday player committed the offence cited and Kitching didn’t appear to.

Bambo has a 3 game ban, nothing about Kitching tho?

Where??

 

[Astute]

An appeal has gone in and the ban is suspended?

 

[robbiethemole]

Hope so

Listed as an active suspension on the FA website. Doesn't mean it won't be appealed & overturned though. They'll need conclusive video evidence though.

What is

[SkyblueDad]

If appeal fails is it just still a three match ban ? Sometimes I think it can be extended one game if an appeal is lost.

Only in certain circumstances.

It's only usually extended if it's a frivolous appeal

 

[Great_Expectations]

I still haven’t seen a decent clip of the incident.

Has anyone got a link?

Fingers crossed then, I’m hopeful at looking at the evidence the FA see a possible doubt.

I seen a clip on Sky I think, it doesn’t show the very start but they did show a bit of the melee and I didn’t see Kitching near Diaby.

 

[StrettoBoy]

Kitching didn’t touch him. But if he hadn’t been held back he would have killed him

He'll probably get off the red card.

Then be done for attempted murder.

How quickly is it likely to be looked at, I know fixtures come fast this time of year but surely from a natural justice perspective it has to be before the next match?

You are wrong you can get a red card for verbals and things like spitting at an opponent, things that might not be clear on the videos I have seen?

At the moment it is all speculation and conjecture. So without the full facts non of us are in the position to say whether one or both players are guilty of offences or whether there are mitigating circumstances either way,?

I understand the referees report mentions head contact and nothing regarding verbals. If it can proved that no head contact was initiated by Kitching he should be cleared.

Correct. It's on the FA website too as head to head contact.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

The first ? It was after the final whistle.

I think @wingy means conceding the first goal.

 

[Covcraig@bury]

Have we appealed??????

 

[shmmeee]

Kitching places his head on another players head after being started on: red card

Sunderland thug takes Ben Sheaf out for 2-3 games with a flying headbutt: not even a yellow.

Whilst already on a yellow.

 

[SkyblueDad]

I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure Kitching did initiate head contact during one of the ‘clashes’. I think an appeal will be unsuccessful

For some reason players seem do that a lot. technically it’s classed as a head butt, might be on thin ice if he has.
I have seen the incident on sky but not very first part, he does nothing in the bit on tv.
