FFS, great news.Town skipper Sam Morsy will miss Friday’s home game against QPR having been handed a one-game ban for a breach of FA Rule E3.1 following the 2-0 win away against his old club Middlesbrough earlier this month.
An FA statement reads: “Sam Morsy has been suspended for one match and fined £5,000 for a breach of FA Rule E3.1 following Ipswich Town’s EFL Championship fixture against Middlesbrough on Saturday 9th December.
“The Ipswich Town midfielder admitted that he acted in an improper manner and/or used abusive words and/or behaviour towards a match official in or around the changing rooms, following the completion of the fixture. An independent Regulatory Commission imposed his sanctions following a hearing.”
A Town statement reads: “Sam accepts the charge, and both the club and the midfielder will make no further comment.”
The Blues captain remains on nine bookings with a 10th leading to a two-match ban.

Disappointing and it won't be long before the two match ban I'm afraid.

Re: Morsy handed Ban
Well, will he actually have his yellow cards wiped clean by the next time he plays ( Stoke away New Year’s Day) CB? Mike snd I were talking about this and all yellows get wiped clean in the new year don’t they. So he’s got a one match ban v QPR …. Then we’re in the new year!Cabanas Blue wrote: ↑Wed Dec 27, 2023 7:50 pmDisappointing and it won't be long before the two match ban I'm afraid.

Re: Morsy handed Ban
He has to get to 32 games Liz so no chance of avoiding a ban.

Re: Morsy handed Ban
On a positive note Morsy has told Egypt this morning that he is not available for the ACON tournament.

Re: Morsy handed Ban
Don’t know specific but wonder if he commented re the booking he got in that game right at the end for kicking ball away … think it was that game.

Re: Morsy handed Ban
Apparently words exchanged in the changing room area, post match. Linked to the booking for (apparently!) deliberately kicking the ball away etc.
Presumably, however, he’ll still serve a two game ban if he gets booked post QPR ban. Have to wonder if Sam’s reputation goes before him so far as some refs are concerned. Personally I wouldn’t want him any other way. He’s a natural born leader. Grateful he’s binned the AAFCON jamboree!

Re: Morsy handed Ban
Now Morsy picked up his latest yellow and is band for 2 games - is the FA cup game included? I'd hope so but guess not!
