Does a touchline ban equate to a ban from the ground and more specifically the dressing room?

Poll: If we were today re-instated to the play-off final, would you go on Saturday?

This is the question that everyone is thinking. Can he sit in the stand, as it would be a "touchline" ban? If so, he would then be able to be in the dressing room. So that woukd be fine wouldn't it. Or is it a ban from management for a few weeks, so he can't then train them?

Whatever it is, Tonda could still manage by video link, or they could sneak him into stadiums and Staplewood in disguise.

Poll: Will you get a season ticket next season?

Very true. He would have to literally dress as a squirrel to get in.

Here's what I found.

Matchday Restrictions No Dugout Access: The manager cannot stand on the touchline, enter the technical area, or participate in team warm-ups.
Seating Location: Under Football Association (FA) and Premier League rules, the manager must watch the game from the directors' box or an approved seat in the stands away from the bench.
Changing Room Access: Standard bans still allow the manager to give pre-match talks and enter the dressing room at half-time and full-time, though extended bans may restrict this.
Communication RulesIndirect Contact: Banned individuals can communicate tactical messages to coaching staff in the dugout using phone calls or a relay "runner" from the stands.
Strict Blackouts: During the match window or under more severe "extended" or stadium bans, direct or indirect communication with players and staff is completely outlawed.

Mmmm.

Range of options there.

I think I would settle for a ban of 2 or 3 games with no access at all to the team on the day.

Bearing in mind one of the games would be Colchester.

I wouldn’t accept any touchline ban. We’ve been punished enough already.

The FA can go and f*ck themselves.

If it's a personal sanction (FA can't sanction the club, only individuals) then surely it shouldn't affect the club in any way? Therefore all they can do is fine him. Touchline bans/kicking him out of the league at this late stage would again be a club punishment as well.

I’ve been checking on google to see what action the FA took with Leeds and Bielsa (who admitted on spying on every opponent), just to find out a presedence.

It appears they didn't do anything, so not sure why they should be looking at Eckert at all or give him any additional fine or suspension, as they as far as I’m aware, unlike the EFL, have not changed their rules on watching opponents training, and it is still acceptable in Premier League.

It seems that the authorities like to use us as a precedent….

Absolutely.

This is getting personal now, we've been punished enough.

Yes, but that was 73 hours before a game and not 72 and they used a polaroid camera and not an iPhone....

I wholly disapprove of what you say and will defend to the death your right to say it.

I remember Bielsa was quite proud of doing it before every game, as it showed his preparation was meticulous, and he was rewarded with the FIFA Fair Play Award at the end of that season. The FA didn't give him anything though.

A comment made to me today by a friend made me think this could be why we have not yet heard the outcome of the Tonda case:-

- The verdict has not been kind to us; a lengthy ban for Tonda
- We have appealed
- The FA are currently reviewing the appeal

I fear there may be more than a grain of truth in this.

The Club are not going to want to have to issue bad news earlier than they have to, and they will be pinning their faith in the (presumably very expensive) lawyers who Man. City are also using.

Hopefully this is nonsense, but it would not be a surprise to me at all if it were true.

The FA and EFL use the same agency to provide their disciplinary panel members: Sport Solutions. They are drawn from a small pool, who will all know each other as they frequently work together so it would be no surprise if the punishment meted out were another harsh one. Sport Solutions would not want them appearing to disagree over the same issue.

It will be interesting to find out the names of the panel members when the punishment is made public. They are mostly solicitors and barristers with connections to sport. They get paid handsomely by the hour and so would not want to upset Sport Solutions. The solicitor who played football for Middlesbrough could well feature again.

They will know all the details of the EFL case and the severity of the punishment and will, therefore, look for something of similar severity. Even if Gibbo and his mates haven't told them what they expect, the panel members will know. It's about money, power and influence more than fairness. The panel members will want to be consistent with their colleagues and keep their lucrative Sport Solutions work on disciplinary panels.

There is another solicitor who played for Middlesbrough who we want nowhere near that panel.

Stuart Ripley.
