Everton charged by FA after brawl

 

Everton have been charged by the Football Association with failing to control their players after an incident in a reserve match against Liverpool.

It relates to a melee involving players from both sides after Liverpool keeper Jerzy Dudek was sent off for his reaction to Victor Anichebe's tackle.

 

The FA issued the charge after reviewing a video of Everton's 2-1 win.

 

A statement on Everton's website said they expected Liverpool to receive a similar charge.

 

"We have been charged with a breach of FA rule E20, which is failure to control our players," said Everton club secretary David Harrison.

 

"We have until 1 November to reply and we also have the opportunity to request a personal hearing before the commission, should we wish to do so."

If this was QI, Ronnie, alarms would be going off and the words "Death Sentence" would be flashing behind your head.

The Club (us) have been charged and so has Jerzy.

I blame Everton for this. If we don't win the title this year i will blame then solely and start every sentence with ifithadn'tbeenfor

[allez les rouges]

at least jerzy got a few digs in.

I expect Jerzy to get one game additional ban, which means he will be suspended for four first team games (2xReading, Aston Villa + Carling Cup 4th Round or Arsenal)

Is there a video of this available anywhere? I would really like to see if it was a punch worth a four match ban!

there's talk of the fa imposing an additional 5-game ban

Not looking good for our appeal then...

[Coyler]

Did he punch him up the ass in front of his kids or something? 5 matches, ffs?

5 matches on top of the 3 game ban he has already? That seems unbelievably harsh. Thatcher only got ten games for his assault on Mendes.

[Andy @ Allerton]

Was bad from Everton, the initial challenge - the punch from Dudek - Hibbert punching Dudek (Which everyone seems to have missed) followed by the ruck was a bit naughty.

 

The length of the ban seems laughable.

No video of this? not even a mobile phone camera clip?
