Isn't Serge looking at three game ban?
If so, the additional ban would be Swansea away in the league. The league cup is played just before the league game
And that's where I see the issue. You automatically think that this is a frivolous appeal when the reality is that he hasn't even faced the charge yet.
He isn't appealing, he's just not admitting the charge.
So is he looking at one game ban only no matter what the result? Or 1+1?
Don't you still get a three game ban for straight red? I'm confused help me out guys please
If found guilty he'll most likely get a three game ban.
If he appeals it then there's a chance he may get a further game for frivolous appeal however it seems the chances of that are minimal because the FA used to issue the further game ban as a result of players delaying the process through appeals so they can compete in the next fixture ( it was a measure introduced to dissuade players/clubs using that loophole ).
The procedure has been quickened up by the FA now so that any appeal will be dealt with before the next fixture so there hasn't been a need to issue an extra game ban for a few years now.
