He did plead guilty at court. Awaiting sentence.

A 5 year ban is pitiful IMO - should be a lifetime ban given the severity of the assault. I hope he justice system sentences the offender to a jail term given the inexcusable violence

I think you will find it will be a sine die suspension, that cant be reviewed for 5 years.
I believe that is the protocol.

Lets hope the courts deal with him appropriately.

Durham FA have confirmed this.

That's how it used to be done, but not now. Any suspensions resulting from a misconduct charge are for a set period of time.

Based on the information in the article, it's shameful of Durham FA to have only given a five year suspension, which is the minimum that could have been given for a case of this type. Equally shameful of the player's defence counsel to try and claim he is now a changed man, only two years after perpetrating it.

Durham FA response

in response to comments made regarding suspension the actual punishment is sine-die suspension with NO review within a period of 5 years. Durham County FA fully supports all Referees.

Hmm, reading the Disciplinary Regulations it does still make reference to a "review period", most likely a hangover from many years ago when this was the norm for cases like this and has never been corrected, given that the now-former Head of Judicial Services was always very adamant that any suspensions given should be for a set amount of time, and that disciplinary panels could not give sine die suspensions.

The player deserves all of his punishment from Durham FA and due legal process. Having read the article, it makes it more outrageous that he wasn't even the player who was sent off!
