Bamford was too, but the simulation was not dealt with by the ref hence the retrospective ban. Hourihane was pretty aggressive during the whole thing and can perhaps consider himself lucky to only end up with a yellow.Agreed. It was full on red mist and he raised his hands which is usually a big no no. I think he can count himself lucky.

So we've been charged twice in a season with failing to control our players - guessing that will escalate the punishment a bit?
If Bamford does appeal, would that mean he's eligible to play the next 2 games whilst the appeal is heard?
