Assault

[SBRed48]

Football League chief executive Shaun Harvey told the BBC: “As an off-the-field matter the tunnel is still in the domain of the referee but we will work closely with everybody to ensure it’s not a case of who deals with the matter but actually the matter is dealt with properly.

.

As I mentioned earlier in the thread is this the first sign of the FA ducking their responsibilities by hiding behind the old "It wasn't in the Referee's Report" excuse ?

So the referees report will include some “Observations “
or
“I saw nowt” more likely.. Thus avoiding his involvement in any way in any interviews etc.
If the referee has charge right up to the dressing room doors then why do they not wait on the field until after the Barnsley players have done their “Clapping of fans” every week to ensure there’s no nasty work goes on in the tunnel.
Refs are escorted off by stewards (and they were on Saturday, at half time anyway). Do they disappear in their rooms straight away?
Be interesting to see if the ref is interviewed by the Bill.

It's all gone quiet ..Is this going to get swept under the table or what.. ? Allegedly there is a video of Joey head butting your manager then putting the boot into him...hmmm wonder if it will ever see the light of day..

The Police side of things will take some time Alf, however Sky are reporting that Barnsley have registered an Official complaint to the EFL and FA today.

Can’t believe he’s not been suspended pending the investigation being completed

You would in any other workplace

Thats good then.. Looks like the truth will come out now .. Joey might well be facing another stint in jail if there is proof of the alleged assault..

South Yorkshire Police being very thorough here.... They are known for it.....Don’t you know,
