I heard on the radio that Graham Barrett was sent off playing in his Brighton loan debut today for apparently punching an opponent in an off the ball incident. The linesman caught him doing it and it was a straight red. This stuff is following us around.

And now the FA have compounded their mistake by charging Vieira with misconduct: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/ma...era.xml&sSheet=/sport/2002/09/04/ixsport.html I think Paddy was facing a one-match ban because of the two yellows. Does a misconduct charge lead to a longer suspension?

Wasnt Henry charged with misconduct last year against Newcastle? He got a 3 game ban though the incident was more "serious". I believe Paddy would be looking at an additional game or two.
