I said it was a difference association you prat. Being as there hasn’t been a transgression of the 72 hour rule since it was brought in, the FA will likely look for other rulings made by other associations. So, yes, it is a precedent of sorts.

A precedent is a previous ruling by the same governing body that guides future decisions by that governing body. The FA isn't bound by, nor does it automatically follow, decisions made by FIFA, UEFA, or the Canadian association. It is not a precedent.

If it is time based then the FA are not going to start a 6 month ban in June when the players are on holiday/on international duty and there are zero matches.

A charge of "bringing the game into disrepute" is pretty easy for them to stick on him so will just depend on the punishment.

They could simply make it an 8 month ban starting now.

What's the general feeling about Fellows on here? 38 games, 0 goals, 5 assists. For me it's a clear position that requires upgrading. He just doesn't affect games enough even with two strikers who he should thrive when feeding.

Said it on the Tom Fellows thread back in November I think:
Excellent pace, can’t fault his endless stepovers, but doing the same dummy, sprinting to the goal and crossing it to the keeper time and time again is not a benefit to the team.

I also said how underwhelming a signing he was when he did join and said I haven’t actually seen him do anything of note in his career so far.

Proving to be right on that front, just haven’t got the effort to bump my comment on the thread. 😂

When Canada women got done for spying in 2024 the team were given a six point penalty in the completion and their coach copped a 1 year ban from football activities. So there is precedent there, albeit different associations.

How many games did the ban cover?

A 5 match ban starting mid march if out of cups & opponents in cup action (postponed match) & international break is a lot longer than 5 matches mid December while still in league cup with FA cup 3rd round to come
