    It has emerged Farke, as part of his touchline ban, was not meant to be in contact with the bench during last nights game.The EFL are investigating the matter and as he was shown on walkie talkie during SKY broadcast. This could result in result being reversed and would be a cruel blow for Leeds

    FA guidance on touchline suspensions states: “The manager cannot position themselves in or behind the area of the dugout, or any barrier adjacent to the touchline or goal line.” This is done to prevent them from communicating directly with the players during the match. However, the manager can give a pre-match team talk, they can be in the dressing room at half-time, and they can pass on information for their assistants to relay during the game. The race from the top of the stadium to the changing room at half-time is a challenge in itself for managers, but they eventually make it work.

    According to this it’s not against the rules.

    Spoilsport, Eire had worked hard on finding a negative aspect of last night.

    FA need to be very careful on this one as does that attwell fella (match fixing)
    This is just one of the reasons why football is fast becoming a spoilsport

    I think they are waiting to nearer end of season before dreaming up a points deduction. No point deducting 10 now and finding at end of season we have finished 11 points clear of 3rd place.

    Lots of banned managers have used comms equipment in the past under the same rules.

    But why are you intending to pay them a visit. Sorry I may be being thick here, but I just don't understand why you are saying they need to be careful

    You obviously didn’t/don’t get my drift unless of course you are playing dumb in order to gently traffic

    I have absolutely no clue what you are referring to.

    We have a thread where Eire says he has read we may have a points deduction.

    Este quotes the FA rules which says that what Eire has read is untrue.

    You say the FA need to be careful

    I ask why

    You say because you will beat them up

    I ask why are you going to beat them up

    To which you reply that I obviously don't get your drift (correct hence my original question of why ??). Why would I want to "traffic" ( sorry I don't really understand that reference, but given the responses to my original question, I'm hesitant to ask for an explanation of that )

    So after a further 3 posts from both yourself and myself, I still no idea what you are getting at ( just presume I am thick, if it makes it easier. I call myself enough dumb **** titles on here that I am happy to go by another one :) )
