Confirmation that the ref got it badly wrong, but they felt the need to tell LB to watch his future conduct.
Spineless,how about telling the ref about his shortcomings.11 -
Confirmation that the referee was a useless twat !11

Disgraceful that the FA is not throwing the book at Bowyer.
The intent and maliciousness Lee threw that ball with should’ve resulted in him being arrested by plod or Keohane there and then.
It’s also the example Lee has set. My son who was at the game saw what Lee did and has since been chucking balls at all and sundry, including his boss at work, the landlord at his local pub and his grandmother.12 -
Even if he did throw the ball aggressively (which he didn't)
In my opinion, it's still not a straight red.
It's a football....a football that hits the players all the time and adrenaline is within the spiral. It's the sport. Get used to it.
If he threw it hard at a fan or official, then that's completely different.2 -
The FA have got this so wrong. Pussyfooting around such behaviour is likely to lead to supporters throwing balls that have gone out back onto the pitch in an aggressive way.
Thin edge and all that. It will be pigs next.3 -
Good job this didn't happen before the protests previously as Bowyer would be seen by the FA as inciting fans and Roland would have a rant about Bowyer getting violent with a football and would put him in the same category as vinegar pissers.Redrobo said:The FA have got this so wrong.

Harris and Bowyer are 1-1 for the season on the red card front.
Odds on either receiving more than the other?

Spineless,how about telling the ref about his shortcomings.If I worked for Charlton I'd be challenging The FA to see what sanctions are being taken against the referee for such a vital mistake.
The FA would do fuck all though as they're as spineless as the referee himself.

wasn't there .. it's possible that the ref red carded Bowyer to prevent any more flare ups between the two side line staffs .. we know how Lee can go off on one once his dander is up .. could be a rare clever decision from an official ((:>)Brendan_O_Connell said:cblock said:Confirmation that the ref got it badly wrong, but they felt the need to tell LB to watch his future conduct.

The ref has been given the Reading v Blackburn game this weekend, so clearly they don't think he did too much wrong otherwise they wouldn't have given him a game so soon.

The clue to that is the bit about Bowyer being warned about his future conduct. That is the ref protector bit kicking in.Brendan_O_Connell said:cblock said:Confirmation that the ref got it badly wrong, but they felt the need to tell LB to watch his future conduct.

If they threw a book at Bowyer presumably they's get a red card as well, depending on whether they threw it with excessive force or notMacronate said:Disgraceful that the FA is not throwing the book at Bowyer.1 -
Yes, the ref on Saturday could send Bowyer off before kick off to avoid a future clash. The issue was clearly that it was a ridiculous sending off that couldn't stand up to scrutiny. It is annoying they warned Bowyer as their own decision confirms he did nothing wrong. Had he done something wrong the sending off would have been upheld!Lincsaddick said:
