it seems odd that their keeper's red card appeal was successful yet Taylor's stands .. yet we are not charged .. I suspect the abuse dished out to Taylor as he left the field played a big part in this decision

Sykes and Finley were kicking our player and then a few of them wanted to get at the linesman, our players were quite restrained.

thanks .. I wasn't there so only going on the brief pictorial/TV evidence

Not odd at all. Why would we be charged ? It was only Taylor and he has already been punished. I suspect it was most of their players threatening behaviour towards Taylor, our players generally and the linesman.
I doubt you were there as it's a long old trip to The Valley. So you may not have seen their aggression towards the linesman and the "trouble" they started in the tunnel.

We'll forget about the alleged earth tremor that shook the tunnel 😉.
I cannot believe what their manager has said.... Stanley boss John Coleman said Finley had apologised for his actions but said the midfielder did not stamp on Charlton's Taylor.
"What you see doesn't lie, he has got involved like other players have got involved," said Coleman of the incident.
"He has been foolish. I know Sam and there is not a great deal of malice in him.
"He hasn't actually caught the lad but he has put his foot in there where he could endanger someone.
"He knows it is wrong. He has apologised to the club, we had already dealt with it ourselves internally, and any further action we will have to live with it.
If he really doesn't think it was a stamping then what an utter moron he is. Just keep your mouth shut and say that it will be handled internally.
Any respect I had for Accrington has gone straight out of the window.
Plenty of bias comments on the Accrington forum but a couple that were made over the weekend by two different posters that they might prefer to erase given the charges made against them:
"Unfortunately, however, I suspect the club will be in for a big fine for the way almost all the Stanley players ‘remonstrated’ with the linesman after the alleged penalty decision. Never seen such behaviour, outside of South America in the 70s, towards a match official."
and
"Finley rather disgracefully stamped on the head of one of their players, and Jimmy Bell is, in my opinion, very wrong with his post match interview. Would be nice if the players and management could approach things in the same way as chairman and fans....although I understand that tensions will rise higher for them."
No doubt in my mind, Accrington have been charged because of their players' conduct towards the officials - particularly the incident with the linesman.
Nothing to do with the Taylor incident. They've dealt with that already.
FA will see that they need to show that they protect officials.

It wasn't a stamp. He raked him, which is wholly unacceptable, but not the same.

It was a stamp and a rake but doesn't matter what it was.

Shame the ref didn’t protect his colleague at the time.

Will the EFL do that? Will they bo..........
What? Oh....
Correct decision.
It helps to have an undoubted favouritism shown towards you by all of those Millwall fans in the FA.
You can make sure that you don't actually do anything that warrants that scenario coming to fruition.
For the record, we've been avoiding that infamy for far more years than 60. The first baby we eat was, reportedly, in 1889

I think it's got legs.

Of course he's caught him though as you see his foot move as it connects with his head
