MR is saying they won't look at it because the ref saw it and gave a free kick, therefore the ref has dealt with it.

Yes, he just ran awayThe reaction of their player was telling. If you’ve ‘accidentally’ caught someone in the face, hard enough to break it, you’d check on the player you hit. This prick knew exactly what he was doing.
Is UK law suspended on a football pitch?It leaves a real feeling of anger and injustice. It's a shame the police can't get involved. Basically it's assault.

he is also already undernourished, 6 weeks of not eating properly could turn him into an oompa lompaIt’s put at risk his livelihood… he will miss out on opportunities during this period…. And that could have longer term implications!!
I suspect the reality is the video evidence is not strong enough for that to be successful, which is why the EFL have taken no action. Whilst it looks to me that it was intentional the camera is not focused closely enough on the incident.No
Allen should be encouraged to take out a civil acrion
That isn't true. They have not taken action as the have stated the ref saw it and mentioned it is report so they deem it was dealt at the time.I suspect the reality is the video evidence is not strong enough for that to be successful, which is why the EFL have taken no action.

The SW forum has several mentions of a 'shoulder barge' (charge). The FA laws state that a shoulder charge must be shoulder-to-shoulder. Allen's shoulder does not include his face.
Remember when the ref saw a foul on Godden in the penalty area a couple of seasons ago against Fulham, and gave a penalty. Then Godden received a retrospective ban for diving after Silva complained to the EFL. It’s a complete nonsense, the EFL make the rules up as they go.MR is saying they won't look at it because the ref saw it and gave a free kick, therefore the ref has dealt with it.
Oh you can guarantee if it had been Vardy, they'd have been Sun/Mail articles on 'Metal plate for Vardy after apparent assault by SW player' and the EFL would have taken a slightly different stance...Remember when the ref saw a foul on Godden in the penalty area a couple of seasons ago against Fulham, and gave a penalty.

Might be other evidence from camera phones or others on the pitch or expert medical opinionI suspect the reality is the video evidence is not strong enough for that to be successful, which is why the EFL have taken no action.

I can still remember Gary Megson crippling Dean Emerson, one of the worst "tackles" I've witnessed.Poor bloke, another reason to hate Sheff Weds
There's other cameras that record the game for CCFC analysis purposes.behind us on the main stand there was only one small camera doing the match so i guess it shielded from that
Godden got banned for simulation diving when the ref saw it. The Allen one is baffling

That was when we played Wednesday a week before our quarter-final there. I sat in H block of the main stand with a row of Wednesday players directly behind being rested for the next week, near the end a crowd of Cov came in and waded into them and I mean waded in by the time the cops got there some were a bit battered and bruised.I can still remember Gary Megson crippling Dean Emerson, one of the worst "tackles" I've witnessed.

The Godden situation was open to debate. He went down but, IIRC, didn’t claim the penalty himself. The ref awarded it, and arguably fooled himself.The whole point of the Godden ban was he fooled the ref. That’s what the ban was for.
The stupid rules are stupid: if it’s a red card or pen because you fooled the ref it gets overturned and you get banned. If its anything else and the ref misses it you can get retrospective action. But if its not a red card or pen and the ref sees it and gets it wrong they refuse to do anything.
Im not saying it was right but that’s the ruleThe Godden situation was open to debate. He went down but, IIRC, didn’t claim the penalty himself. The ref awarded it, and arguably fooled himself.
It 100% isn'tIm not sure it’s allowed off the ball anyway is it?
