Ashley Barnes: FA extends striker's ban to seven games

Brighton's Ashley Barnes will be banned for seven games after the Football Association gave him an additional three-match suspension for his sending off in Saturday's defeat at Bolton.
Barnes was sent off for violent conduct after he appeared to trip the referee.
The 23-year-old forward was found guilty of behaviour which "constituted an offence whereby the standard punishment...was clearly insufficient".
He was serving a four-game ban before the FA's additional punishment.
Barnes denied the FA charge, but a regulatory commission heard the case on Friday morning and found him guilty.
His original four-match ban had included an extra game for his second dismissal of the season.
The former Plymouth player missed the 2-1 defeat at Barnsley on Tuesday and will now only be available for Brighton's last three games of the Championship season.
Following injuries to Craig Mackail-Smith and Will Hoskins, Leonardo Ulloa is now Brighton's only recognised first-team striker.

What?
And they said they couldn't bring the Morgan/Hulme case as it had already been dealt with.
Once again double standards by the FA laughing in the face of justice and fair play again

 

Have you seen the "trip"?

Comical.
