So what happens now?
Is it just a straight 3 match ban?
Or does a panel decide the length of the ban based on the severity of the challenge and previous incidents involving the player?
Hope it’s the latter and they throw the book at the ****.

I can't believe Wilder. He's basically saying the game has gone soft. I just don't get it. Holgate isn't anywhere near the ball and he isn't even their player. Good leadership would be 'Holgate has apologised to us, it was a shocking tackle'. Didn't have much of an opinion either way about CW but what a total dickhead.
Why expect better he is and certainly come over as a huge prize runt

I interviewed him on the wireless when he briefly played for us in 1999, thought he was a decent bloke.
He's proved time and time again he isn't. He's odious at best.
I liked them and probably will again after Wilder/Holgate have gone. Their supporters online seem fair.

I’m going to be generous. CW is a proud Yorkshireman, an even prouder blade, and has inherited a mess beyond his powers to change. He’s clearly hurting deep inside therefore, yet has to do these stupid post match interviews which must feel humiliating after being thumped so regularly. He’s probably doing and saying what nearly all of us would also do in same circumstances. And yes, he’s lost the plot somewhat too but then I can also understand why.
Phew ….. Shearer and Osman condemn Holgate. Anything less would’ve been shambolic.
They must have a media officer. Who could advise against knee-jerk bitching post match and filling silences with endless minutes of cliches.

Holgate is a ****, deserves a slap for that and a season ending injury for good measure.

They undoubtedly do. But this is a man who thinks a flying, full force tackle to the femur is “a yellow at best”. I’m not sure he’s big on listening to others.

1: WTF is Holgate looking at/where is he looking? I can't figure out what he was thinking/intending.
2: Thank GOD, KM's leg wasn't planted, otherwise it could have easily been curtains for at least the rest of the season.

I think I can. I think he’s thought “I’m going to hurt him”.

Jamie Redknapp outraged by 'scandalous' Mason Holgate tackle
Curtis Davies and Jamie Redknapp discuss Mason Holgates challenge on Kauro Mitoma which saw the Sheffield United defender sent off.

How the actual f*** can anyone defend that.
'Nowhere near the ball' would be an understatement.
Yep and to our credit when Andone did something similar not only did we acknowledge how bad it was, he never played for us again.
This is what I have been wondering, is there a mechanism to increase the penalty? It's a different system for Aussie Rules there are no penalties for fouls during the game. All fouls are reported to a tribunal, plus the tribunal scrutinises tv footage for stuff the umpires missed, charges are then laid. Match bans are given depending on the severity of the foul. The use of TV footage to lay charges after the game really cleaned up the sport.
I'm sure Dyche called him at 5.00 and said "well done agent Holgate, another successful mission"
If you're going to borrow a player from a relegation rival you gotta be prepared!
