Whitey - what punishment can he expect?

[POSTIGER]

Fantastic day on saturday, what a performance but the sending off of one of our best props could prove costly - how long is he likely to be banned for? You have to bare in mind that he is a Tigers player, so you can add on 2 weeks to the length of the ban he would have received if he played for anyone else in the GP.

Surely it's been dealt with already by the Ref unlike Sheridan who has pretty much got away with his punch.

think a red card still means a ban as well... but i hope the watch the vid and whilst i don't condone what he did he didn't throuw the first punch....

[mightymouse]

because he has a lot of previous I think he can expect the book thrown at him - he will be lucky to go on the lions tour!

It means a ban of between 2 weeks & 2 months, and as this is his 4th red card, I would think it would be nearer the top end.

There have been a few occasions where the red card has been deemed to be sufficient punishment and no ban has been imposed.

This is Tiger's don't forget if Corry got 6 weeks for unintentional eye contact???

Problem is, he doesn't exactly have a clean record to argue with. I would expect a ban.

I agree a red card is sufficient.
So White should be given no further punishment, and Sheridan should be cited and banned for 2/3 weeks.

I like your optimism... but I am not holding my breath

[Hull Fan]

Yeah, you'd like to think on reviewing the evidence that the red card was punishment enough.
Only problem is as mentioned before, it's leicester and JW so i think he may get 2 weeks at best.

According to The Times (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/ ... 041435.ece) White will be facing the disciplinary panel. True about him not having the cleanest of slates but the incident was provoked by a less than accurate punch from Sheridan.

And what was the deal with Sheridan coming over to the crowd when being subbed?.. Was half expecting a Trevor Brennan! ;)

Sheridan throwing a punch or 2 is a seperate issue, Whitey retaliated and unfortunately was guilty and was rightly sent off, its up to the club or the citing officer to deal with Sheridan

[Tiger_in_Birmingham]

I thought a red card always led to an inquiry. Becuase it was a punch, and because of previous, I expect it to be near the upper end of the scale but not the maximum due to the aggrivation by Sheridan.

Sheridan will likely get the lower end of the scale for his punch

Has Sheirdan been cited? Apologies if I've missed this one.
