Ipoua: Clarification Of FA Rules

Bulls News has stated that Guy Ipoua is likely to be available for Monday's match against Forest Green Rovers.

Providing a case for wrongful dismissal has been submitted, that will be the case. The FA rules are as follows:

(i) Should a Club have two FTCMs (First Team Competitive Matches) with no, or insufficient, working days in between for the claim for wrongful dismissal to be notified, lodged and heard by a Disciplinary Commission, the following will apply:

I. Where there are no working days between two matches and a Club wishes to make a claim for wrongful dismissal, the Club shall notify The Association by fax and e-mail (using the contact details as set out in (d) hereabove) within 24 hours of the dismissal. If, and only if, this notification is appropriately submitted, the Player will be eligible to play in the second match. Submission of evidence and the fee will still be required by 12 noon on the second working day as set out in (d) hereabove.

II. Where there are insufficient working days between two matches for a Disciplinary Commission to decide on a claim for wrongful dismissal, the timetable for notification and submission as set out in (d) hereabove will still apply. However, a Player will be eligible to play in matches prior to the decision of the Disciplinary Commission, provided the claim for wrongful dismissal has been appropriately notified.
