Charlton Athletic VS TLO Doncaster

[eastender]

2 yellows are only a 1 game ban , so he'll only miss the Leeds cup tie......I think. 

The ban starts 7 days later, he misses the Bournemouth game

Why?  are you sure..??

I've just taken this randomly from the F A suspensions list and it appears to to start on the day of the offence.

 Sheffield Wednesday FC   Jermaine Johnson From 06/08/2013 until 24/08/2013
 Suspended from all first team football until the Club have completed 3 first team matches for a  Sending Off in a match played on 06/08/2013.

That will be because it was a straight red, two yellows = red, the suspension kicks in after 7 days and is only a 1 match ban

Can of worms this one Mr F. 

Arsenal FC   Laurent Koscielny from17/08/2013 until 4/08/2013
Suspended from all first team football until the Club have completed 1 first team match for a Sending Off in a match played on 17/08/2013.


This was for 2 yellows same as Keegan.

I think this rule changed a couple of seasons ago.  All bans are effective immediately. Not checked it though.

I am fairly certain the suspension is effective immediately.  I may be wrong, but didn't a (Yeovil?) player get sent off on a saturday not too long ago at easter, and missed the easter monday fixture through suspension because there was no time to appeal over the bank holiday?

[IDM]

Keegan will be suspended immediately.  The FA details on suspensions are at:

http://www.thefa.com/football-rules-governance/suspensions

Basically the suspension commences from the next first team game, following disciplinary action  in a first team game.  "Red cards in first team competitive matches result in immediate suspension from forthcoming first team competitive matches. "

Keegan's name isn't on the list here yet as I expect the Ref's report has not yet been received/processed.
