The Football Association is seeking to extend the three-match suspension given to Millwall goalkeeper Liam Roberts after a dangerous foul against Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta. Roberts' actions resulted in a serious injury to Mateta, warranting an FA appeal for a harsher penalty. Millwall plans to contest the FA's move, while Palace's chairman expressed outrage over the tackle. The situation raises questions about accountability in football, with past precedents influencing the outcome of such cases.
'The Football Association has deemed the standard three-game suspension for serious foul play as "clearly insufficient" and has submitted an appeal to a regulatory commission in hopes of increasing the ban.'
'Palace chairman Steve Parish did not hold back in his criticism of the tackle, describing it as "the most reckless I've ever seen" and asserting that Roberts "endangered a fellow professional and maybe his life."
