Hemed got his retrospective three-match ban before that nasty VAR came in, when there were rules allowing retrospective bans. Since that nasty VAR that causes all the problems in the game has come in, there are no retrospective bans.
This applies to the PL, where we have that nasty VAR, but I'm not sure of the rules in other competitions -- although multiple posters have posted links indicating that there are no retrospective bans in this cup.

You certainly act like it, hence why you’ve been put on ignore by over a dozen members for your ‘contributions’ to this thread alone, let alone others, continuously.
I’m not a bully, Infact I feel sorry for you and the reactions you get for the attention you crave. You have my sympathies for whatever troubles you and the substance that is clearly missing from your life that drives your behaviour, so I will simply ignore your continuous, weak attempts to insult me. I will get no satisfaction out of lowering myself to your level little man.

I think we sent Andone packing because it was a wild challenge that got him sent off and Potter didnt want a liability like him in the squad.

What do you mean, what am I going to do about it? There’s nothing I can do about except express my anger and my opinion. And where’s a good place to do that? I know, how about a football forum, in a thread discussing that very topic? For heaven’s sake. That’s what we’re all here for surely? To express opinions and emotions.
What’s really bloody annoying though is to find the place infected by trolls from Palace and Crawley whose only purpose seems to be 1) inflame and agitate other people and then 2) pretend to be so bored and pissed off with people who feel agitated as a result.

Like I’ve said before, I couldn’t give a shit what you and your little clique think, you are irrelevant. I will voice my opinion when I feel like it. It seems your type want everything your way or the highway, no room for other opinions. If you don’t like it, ignore me like the rest of your little minions!

Every case is different and, as a very wise doctor/runner once said “Every athlete is an experiment of one.”
Expressing anger an opinion is fine, we are all frustrated, but the crusade against Williams and Crawley demanding some form of retribution is way OTT. It happens, its annoying, we need to move on.

People are just understandably angry. Not just at the (extremely dangerous and IMHO malicious) foul, but the general attitude from Crawley Town FC. The coach’s gloating comments, the non-apologies, the wink from the player, the fans gloating and defence of the player who has a shocking disciplinary record.
It will indeed pass, but for now being angry at this stuff is what being a passionate football fan is all about.

In all honesty, I think Andone's was worse. It happened right in front of where I was sitting.

Andone's wasn't as bad as Williams'
It depends how you classify worse.
Andone's could have been very nasty, but he wasn't deliberately throwing his entire body weight straight through another player.
It was an attempt to force himself between man and ball and win the ball. Badly executed for sure, and potentially very dangerous.
But it was the type of challenge that players make all the time.
Williams' knew exactly what he was doing, he hoped to get away with a Man and ball foul (which is effectively how the ref saw it) but because he's so shit, he just ploughed straight through O'Riley without getting any of the ball,

Are you sure about that?
As an aside, Williams picked up an impressive 16 yellows and one red card from 44 appearances last season. In 2022-24, his record at Banbury in National League North was an even more astonishing six yellows and two reds in 10 matches.

He has form, lots of it.

Think we have to agree to disagree on this. You definitely don't see players doing what Andone did, all the time.
This isn't to take away from how bad Williams' tackle was btw.

Yes, the red card he got last season was a second yellow for dissent to ref. No red card for violent conduct in what must be around 50 games for Crawley now. But what I said about flaws in his tackling technique stand

To be fair, Andone didn't go into that red card game in the best frame of mind, thanks to the fuckwit Bernardo. Hope Andone kicked the shit out of him after the game
