[DonnyBazR0ver]

Crikey, that seems excessive. Obvs extended due to the words exchanged with the fourth official.

[Dagenham Rover]

It's a different charge but yes obviously something to do with th 4th officials amazing eyesight

[keyser_soze]

3 more games! Ouch. I could see from the other side of the pitch that he properly went for him though and had to be held back.

Whats the longest we've seen a player banned for? I remember David Roche getting red cards in successive games cos the ban didn't kick in straight away. Sure it was like an 8 match ban or something. Seemed like he was gone for months!

[Alan Southstand]

Ridiculous!

What about the officials getting 6 game bans for crimes against officiating?

If only Alan.  As has been said many times before, the assessors reports look after their own kind.

[Reg of the Rovers]

You can bite someone or say something racist and get a 8 match ban, Tom goes forehead to forehead with their soft clown defender and gets 6! Seems excessive, although he did give the fourth a piece of his mind!!

[PDX_Rover]

Tom should know better.

[Bessie Red]

Tom should know better.

His behaviour after the red was very unproffessional & you're right he should know better.

[roversdude]

Hopefully Olowu is fit and can make the shirt his
Nothing against Tom he is back to being a very good player again

[Usher wide.]

C’mon, another 3 match ban it’s way over the top. Did he man handle an official? No. He vented his spleen wow, that must really have given the 4th official post traumatic syndrome.

Those officials that day ‘lost the plot’. I would love to see the assessors report but that’s not going to happen because I’m just a supporter.

[NickDRFC]

Tom should know better.

Absolutely, there’s a line and he crossed it. He’s at fault here, not the officials, and he’s been punished accordingly.

[MachoMadness]

Yes Anderson lost his head but 6 games for essentially the same incident seems ridiculously excessive. It's only 2 games less than the Preston player who bit somebody.

no he got 3 for that and another 3 for his words afterwards

[In the box]

Did I miss the news on Anderson’s appeal?

6 match plus £3k fine

Didn’t Tony Coleman get something like a three month ban for punching referee Mr Pickles.

[Padge_DRFC]

Who will pay the fine? The club or Anderson?

Who do you think should pay?

Not strictly true 3 matches for the red and a further  charge of disrepute resulting in a further   3 and 3k fine for having a pop at the 4th official and his  amazing eyesight

[GazLaz]

He’s essentially been sent off twice. Once for a headbutt and once for abusing match officials. Could be seen as fair.

[drfchound]

Gaz, you are a man who can usually come up with answers.
Is there any evidence that shows clearly whether Tom did headbutt the Chesterfield player apart from the fourth official allegedly seeing him do it.
All I have seen is the pair of them running out of the box with them both in a “foreheads together” position.

[DRFC_AjA]

Yes Anderson lost his head but 6 games for essentially the same incident seems ridiculously excessive. It's only 2 games less than the Preston player who bit somebody.

It's not comparing like for like. If the Preston player appealed, like a prat, he'd too get a longer ban.

[monkeytennis]

If we the fans could see what a whopper that ref was then the players could surely see it and you’d think they would behave in a way that would give him no excuse or reason to get a card out. Tom (and Mols) should have done better.

Anderson didn’t get any extra ban for appealing though

The additional 3-match ban has nothing to do with the appeal.

Why do you say that Pancho? Not being funny, just asking?

I thought it was an automatic 3 game ban. We appealed and it got an extra 3 games and a 3k fine as per GM interview?

Personally I'm really surprised we appealed. I sit in the west stand hear the tunnel and how Tom went off at the 4th official was shocking and IMO can't argue with the extended ban and the fine.

Senior player like that should be ashamed in himself and taking himself out of the team.

[Chris Black come back]

He got a three match ban for a straight red card for violent conduct.

He then got an additional three match ban for foul and abusive language to the fourth official when he left the field.

As he didn't get a red card for the second incident given he had already been sent off, there was a separate process.

[rich1471]

Anderson looked liked he would have got hold of the forth Official if he had not been held back his head had totally gone at that point

[roversdude]

The extra 3 games are not for the appeal they are as stated above for an additional offence of abusing the 4th official
