Whilst it won't help town if I was in charge at the club I'd contact all the other clubs in the league to ask about the antics of the keeper and then report it to the fa

Think you'll find the enquiry has to look at our club and it's action - I get your point but no one will stand up and be counted the FA or other club.

Anyone 'inciting hatred and/or making malicious communications to the detriment of the club' will receive a three-year ban.

Does this include calling Carson a 'See you next tuesday?'

You are having a bit of a joke, but it is a valid point. What exactly is malicious communication and who is the judge and jury when it comes to deciding whether or not the communication is an accurate description of the individual it is directed towards?

"The club will fully co-operate with Derbyshire Police and the FA investigation which is now under way.
The implications for the club are very serious and an appeal is made to supporters to not engage in matters of pitch encroachment at any time. There have also been a number of serious allegations relating to racial abuse and physical contact involving opposition players.
The club intends to deal with these matters strongly and as and when individuals are identified, banning orders will be issued."

3 of those bans have now been handed out.

When will people ever learn? It's not like everyone hasn't been told time after time not to go onto the pitch. It's happened before at the ground and unless a big example is made of someone it will happen again. Town have done the right thing in handing out bans but it looks likely there will be further sanctions including, probably, a points deduction which will make Saturday's exciting comeback worth nothing. It might well have been better to have lost the game.

I don't hold with all this "race card" rubbish, either. I have heard racists on the Kop before, and I've also heard people deny having been aware of it because they didn't want to get involved even though they had spent the entire game tutting at the behaviour of the moron in question. Just because many folk didn't hear a racist that doesn't mean that the goalkeeper never did. Besides, in what way is "You Fat bounder"* acceptable? Maybe Ashmore heard "Fat" and thought he heard "Black" or perhaps it was a lone racist voice he identified but either way it's horrible behaviour. And it comes as no surprise to anyone who spends any amount of Saturdays or Tuesdays in that part of the stadium.

Or any other stadium up and down the country to put your comment into perspective....and an Ebbsfleet fan on Saturday allegedly

God they got the banning orders but the biggest threat to the history of the Club still gets allowed to sit in the posh seats!

[Tha Knows...]

The goalkeeper seems to make a habit of doing this...winding up home fans and then hiding behind the race card. Why isn't Aaron Chapman getting into these situations?

I thought exactly the same the first few times I watched it.

another lie from the keeper making out he'd been punched, surely not lol. The blokes a complete idiot.

It really would be good if someone had a close up video - help!!

The club need to explain what they mean by malicious communication to the detriment of the club.

Sounds like telling the truth is on the list then.

I think a good solicitor could make a fortune out of defending our club at the enquiry.

if subs enter the field of play when they are not replacing someone is that also classed as encroachment? i know i have seen managers warned for stepping out of technical areas before, a manager can quite easily without meaning to step over the line but a whole subs bench running at full pelt onto the pitch was no accident. Before anyone says it, i am not saying that makes what our fans did ok, it wasn't they were out of order but surely the FA have to look at this also, i thought a couple of our players MAF in particular did a really good job in trying to calm things down.

I recall a certain Armand Gnanduillet being booked as a sub for going on the pitch when JOS scored at Burton to seal promotion. And this was by a metre or so and for a joyous celebration, not running half the length of the pitch to join a melee like the one which ensued on Saturday!

[metallilad]

If he did get racial abuse why didn't he dive into the crowd this time?

Worth reminding the FA at the hearing then.

In the absence of any examples from the club's most senior administrators, who I am sure will get more of a kick from keeping us guessing, I would say we are looking at things like the production and distribution of Blue5's charge sheet. Now, whether the distribution of that is detrimental to the club, or merely to the club's most senior administrators, is the question!

Think there's a fair bit of interest in Blue5's identity on here recently!?

Indeed there has, and that'll be why. Of course, Blue5 has added nothing to his list that is not already a matter of public record, so no-one is publishing anything that hasn't already damaged the club. What might be considered more damaging is the making of malicious communications to supporters by text or telephone when you've been in the pub all night and are absolutely sh*tfaced. Let's see who gets banned for that!

Probably someone from Scunthorpe.
