Can’t make this up! Absolutely disgraceful decision.

 

[annie1954]

So the referee and forth official will face no charges for their terrible performances . Feel for you Kevin anyone would get angry watching those two so called officials

...what they will face, or know, is the FA referee assessor's report.
That story might not have a happy ending.

Absolute disgrace.
I hope the club fully supports Kev in appealing this and anyone close to the incident speaks up/offers support. Frankly the @FA are bringing the game into disrepute.

 

[Tinks]

All it shows is what an *** the FA really is and how out of touch they truly are.
The emotion and passion is being taken out of the game
By all means discipline if he had been abusive or threatening but not for being passionate about his team.

 

[in the know]

if the facts are as kev has stated, I hope the club take it seriously and take appropriate legal action. Why should a NL club be walked on by the pathetic FA who I suspect only currently have her side of it, which was probably given to her by the strangely obsessed 4th official.
I'm sure there must be video sound and witness evidence to support the truth. The yeovil manager for starters

SOUTHEND United boss Kevin Maher has been charged with misconduct by the Football Association.


Maher was sent from the dug-outs at Roots Hall just before half-time of Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Yeovil Town.

And the FA have now confirmed the Shrimpers chief will face further punishment.

A statement from the FA confirmed: "Kevin Maher has been charged with misconduct following Southend United’s match against Yeovil Town in the National League on Saturday 9 November.

It’s alleged that the head coach’s behaviour around the 20th and 48th minutes was improper, which led to his dismissal, and he has until Monday 18 November to provide a response."

It is understood Maher was dismissed from the dug-out for raising his arms when appealing for a penalty.

 

[Hawkwell Blue]

If Maher was moaning primarily about the sending off that was of course rescinded then surely so should his red card. But that’s common sense so clearly isn’t going to happen.

 

[davewebbsbrain]

Red card for Jeacock rescinded, a ridiculous amount of decisions by the ref and 4th official.
Hopefully they will realise the red card Kev holding his arms in the air while asking for a penalty is a joke of a decision

From what’s been said on here Kev did nothing but raise his hands in the air. Maybe he was booked for **** dance moves.

 

[Billy Bests boot laces]

Has anyone charged by the F.A for what-ever, ever been found not guilty & walked away without a fine or ban?.

He is too busy sulking he couldn’t get free tickets or a free meal.

It is understood Maher was dismissed from the dug-out for raising his arms when appealing for a penalty.

The fact that the wording mentions the 20th and 48th minutes alludes to the fact that it was two yellow cards resulting in the red, rather than a straight red?

 

[Ricey]

Let’s leave the sexist posts out of this please. Any further ‘jokes’ relating to the ref’s gender will be removed and repeat offenders banned from this thread.

 

[thenobster]

flapping his arms is now a bookable offence?

 

[ColinMorrisWalksOnWater]

So if you're a player on the pitch a team mate goes down under dubious challenge in the opponents penalty area, you can raise you hands and appeal for a penalty.

If you are a manager you can't raise your hands.

That truly is B******s!

 

[Strykr]

This raise your hands thing.

Wtf is happening to the world

 

[Barry.C]

The FA are considering if you raise your arms to 3 inches above waist level its a yellow. Raised arms to chest level will receive the new ORANGE card they will be introducing, Anything above the hairline is a straight Red. Sighing is under review !
