Just seen that he has been charged by the FA with improper conduct towards the referee!

What does that mean in terms of any extra punishment?

About an hours salary in a fine probably

Sacha Gurianov, who has a soft spot from Brentford and TF, made an interesting comment on the latest Totally Football Show podcast. He said that as Thomas was moving between post game interviews after the Man Utd game he was heard to mutter that he hated football. Obviously not being serious but Sacha and another pundit wondered if things are getting on top of him after a tough run, given his press comments and behaviour after the last couple of games. Actually he was much less in control last Wednesday than when he got sent off on Saturday. His MOTD interview was calm and reflective.

No ban? Looks like he got the minimum fine
 

Thomas Frank

Didn't he just tell the referee to give him another yellow? Is that it? He's getting fined for that?

I know but I think by giving no more than the standard fine and no touch line ban it is fair to believe they almost feel there was an over reaction by the referee who got so much wrong on the day.

Doubt it. They probably thought "that's about the standard penalty". The fact that TF accepted the charge most probably means that it happened.

Nice easy slam dunk for the FA in 3 steps:

FA - this is the charge
TF - I accept that
FA - ta very much, standard penalty

It's what he said to get the first that is most relevant because he said something like I still think .............. so you might as well give me a second. And he did!

I am sure that that is an exact quote faithfully provided to the press by TF. And he did not tell the ref to go f*** himself with his f***ing cards and that he could also show him the red one as he thought the ref was a ****. I can guess which version is nearer the actualle.

The FA should start fining there refs for there increasingly common dreadful performances. We'll see if the tone changes.

Tested positive 'late last month'. Probably a 50/50 for Everton but should certainly make Man City.

With respect, who gives a toss about Everton, Manchester City or his suspension, this can be quite a nasty disease. First question should be, how is he?

Is the cup game counted as his suspended game or does it have to be a Premiership Game

Did he definitely get a suspension? I assumed he'd get one but don't remember any mention of one, just a fine. Jay Harris is currently seeking further clarity

Agreed - I tested positive 2 days after the Wolves game and I'm still feeling effects from it. Constant shortage of breath, no smell or taste still, feeling dehydrated all the time, frequent headaches. Fingers crossed he's asymptomatic

The statement clearly states he’s been in constant contact with the coaching team, is taking a press conference from home and will be there on Saturday if he tests negative so we can probably assume he’s OK

As opposed to the 1% of us who just imagine it's killed 5.7 million people so far? Oh well. As long as he's on the bench at Everton. That's the main thing. ;)

I started to feel unwell on the Tuesday night after Wolves. Took a test Wednesday afternoon. Positive. Felt progressively worse through until Saturday. Tiredness, headache, slight temperature, runny nose, persistent cough (so little sleep) and above all, the king of all sore throats. No problem with smell or taste. Feeling better now but not normal.

Hope you’re feeling better.

Suspect my post above might be ever so slightly off topic and even a bit self-obsessed! ?

Just out of interest, how long did it take to stop testing positive?

If it's a full 10 days, TF might miss Man City too. Wish him well (and you too)

I haven’t tested again so far as I imagine I’m still positive. Going to give it a go tomorrow. After that I’ll give another blow-by-blow account of my symptoms plus details of all other aches, pains and illnesses over the last five years. Anything for some sympathy.
