What went on ?

[Barrow Lad New]

In my match report I wrote "The feisty end continued after the half-time whistle with a Barrow player being forcibly pushed, presumably in retaliation for an earlier incident as Fleetwood players then surrounded the referee". As no punishments were meted out at the time, I presume this is as a result of "trial by TV coverage".

Violent conduct off the ball. They’ve known this was coming and Ben admitted it. Disappointing

[Big_Bluebird]

Has Pete wild grassed him up? Wild did something similar when we played Carlisle if my memory is correct

At HT players were intimating an elbow had been used in the Fleetwood penalty area.

Some of the Pete Wild veneration here can be a little bit much at times but surely it’s nothing to do with him and anything he's said.

He did seem to put his marker on the deck at the edge of the penalty box. Thought it might have been a crafty blow below the belt or something which may have been caught on camera. The guy was enraged which l think led to the tunnel fracas.

Byron Harrison being contacted I’m hearing…

Seen enough, deduct 10 points off Fleetwood and fine them for fans fighting stewards and flares on the pitch, oh wait the EFL are spineless.....

[Big_Bluebird]

Just seen the video. Impossible to tell the from angle if he’s used his elbow or arse. The EFL must have access to a front view of the incident or they’re just guessing

So does the three match ban also include the EFL trophy game against Blackpool?

Yes I believe so

[McMark]

The incident involved James Bolton, looked soft at best. But trust us to get punished for using the dark arts that other teams get away with week in week out.

[Suffolk Blue]

Be honest. We look a bit of a shambles atm. Doesn’t look good at all.
