Please can the BBC Berks sports team stop alarming people by saying that Sonko's got a 3 game ban - it's only 1 game, thanks.

I thought it was an automatic 3 but we can appeal

3 is violent conduct isn't it, 1 is a professional foul or are the FA really so dumb as to say a professional foul (many of which are highly dubious) equates to someone getting hit by a two footed lunge or forearm smassh or general punch up.

What're the rolly eyes for?

I didn't see any violent conduct, spitting or serious foul play. Did you?

A 1 game ban it is.

It's only a one match ban - I nagged Joel about it on your behalf and as he's just confirmed on air, he got it wrong. Silly boy.
