Yes but added tribunal means the fix terms are not wholly appropriate.
Dodson E and Knowles D are both set for tribunals.

What is contrary to the penalties is, Johnstone wasn’t hurt and carried on as if nothing happened, Knowles has effectively ended a players career.
Work that out?!

Wonder if Johnstone will speak up In defence of Dudson???

Anyway people looking for anything nefarious, are discounting just how dumb he probably is. See here, sinbinned for hitting out, after 15 seconds in the first hit up of the first game of the season https://youtu.be/R7memXXt4xY

If it was Westwood or Henare or Cullen or Les Boyd doing this nobody on here would have batted an eyelid.

Dudson unfortunately is seen more in the Ryan Bailey category, he doesn't have the street cred to be a violent Wire hero.

Well,i had to rewind the prog to see the punch which seemed to be delivered with powder puff force but ,by definition of "a closed fist", was a punch. All very strange with seemingly no provocation.

Re the Flower incident ,wasn't Hohaia having a go at Flower a few minutes previously ?

Brain fart.

Doesn’t do the fella any favours really as it was a dumb brain fart to say the least.

The punch itself was powder puff which might be his saving grace when up before the beak.

And when does he go up before the beak

Not sure but we tend to find out around 8pm

always surprises me how late these get looked at in the day

They have a meal & a few beers first.

Only after egging Eamonn McManus's windows.

May be later this one, will be ages before Wellens stops crying.

I'm not biting.

One difference I would say is that Dudson is a distinctly average player when not punching and getting sent off. When Boyd transgressed he at least left a mark. Ask Brohman.

Different era different rules SC. Apparently sending malnourished kids up chimneys is now frowned upon.

Damn I better get them down, how much do the log burners cost.

5 games for Gil. Probably lucky.

Well tariff 4-6 so he is lucky, most people in the beginning expecting double figures.

Heard that Johnstone offered evidence in Dudson's support (presumably via tinternet). Guess that must have gone in his favour.

Perhaps Johnstone had backed up a practical demonstration Dudson was giving him ,carrying on from a discussion in a previous tackle.

Not sure that line would convince a judge.

Thats what I mean and that's why I used the Ryan Bailey comparison. Average players who engage in poophousery are seen as a bit pathetic. With great players it is part of the legend.

It happens in football too. Look at the beauty and art in Cantona kung fu kicking a fan or Zidane headbutting the Italian guy in the World Cup final.

Now imagine that was Joey Barton. Does it have the same [ije ne sais quoi?[/i

Dudson ban - no complaints from me.

Once Bullock & Harrison are back, Dudson will become what he always looked liked being - a bit part player, a liability we can do without and an irrelavence.

With a silly beard to boot.

When them 2 are back well Harrison as the number 8 shirt so bench for me would be Bullock, Kasiano, Philbin and Walker/ Clark at best Dudson is injury cover.
