Haven't seen it anywhere else on here but before going down the tunnel at the end of the pre - match warm up Bailey was pointed in the direction of supporters in the East stand red block who he went over to ,to do some autographs.
It seemed a pretty good gesture by him at the time seeing how he was already getting a bit of abuse .
Don't suppose he will ever be asked again

Just saw the incident with Bailey on the Football League Show. Camera missed it, so can't really appeal.

The camera missed the vital moment but it did show the ref was also looking elsewhere at the crucial time. He obviously caught B**ley throwing himself to the ground but only consulted his assistant after JFC had been red carded. So he didn't see the actual ineffectual push but after the two second pause clocked the award winning crash to the ground close to death. Of course were we a Premiership club there would have been six cameras focussed on this disgusting event. As I saw it, Bailey's shove was equal to JFC's push but of course the club that "really ought to be playing at a higher level" gets the benefit.

That's exactly how I saw it at the time, the ref definitely wasn't looking as I was watching him to see how where he lined the free kick up and if was going to take any action for the foul. He definitely didn't consult the linesman before issuing the red card.... strange!

I think the because there was such an uproar from all corners of the ground, he was swayed into thinking something serious had happened and looked at the evidence: Fat a**ed lying ginger (balding) w***er lying on the ground writhing around in agony, and poor JFC standing next to him.

What the clip also shows is that JFC was at hand trying to get the ball and did not run, as stated by mole-faced to$$er Parkinson, 20 yards to whack ******. We should ask for an apology from them.

If Charlton play Col Ewe in the play-off's I actually want Col Ewe to win.
