anyone know what kind of trouble jarrett's bench-ball boot has landed him in? the red card means he misses a game at least but is there a fine? an additional couple games suspension or has it been let off?
Should be extended to 3 match ban - was reckless and as Parky said it could have missed and hit a member of the crowd. The punishment system is crazy with Semedo getting 3 matches and him only getting 1!

So, by your rationale, the ball going into the crowd (something that happens at least five times a match) should be punishable by a longer ban than a tackle which, in the eyes of the referee concerned, was dangerous foul play, and could have broken a player's leg? Bear in mind here that I'm not suggesting the ref was right to send Semedo off, I don't think he was - but if the challenge merited a red card, then surely that's a bit more serious than someone kicking a ball into the crowd from about thirty yards away?
The bench overreacted - understandable in the heat of the moment - but the incident should just be left at that.
On the tv it looked like he chipped it rather than smacking it. That makes it more likely to be petulance than violent. I also struggled to see much of a foul on Reid from the tv - not saying there wasn't one.
Football is a pationate game. Sure he shouldn't have kicked the ball at Parky but if it had been the other way around we would be very much against a further suspension, wouldn't we?
To be honest, i thought the "second yellow" was a bit dubious to say the least. I might be wrong but it looks as though reid ran behind him and caught his leg. As for the kicking the ball at pp, as said before, it was just a chip, not a punt. Moving on..............
Kicking the ball away that was placed for a free kick is surely dissent and warranted a booking. The ref was so useless he didn't get another card out.
Not sure either about that second yellow but didn't realise what a laughable dive the defender put in to avoid having to try to stop Reid's disallowed goal.

It looked a lot different on TV than it did from the Covered End, that's true.
I was also interested in the question asked actually.
I would like to see the muppet get in as much trouble as possible.
