I've not seen anywhere that it broke? Ask Mellor, he himself Said it wasn't a penalty let alone a ban.
Edit, seen he did break his nose. Still doesn't mean its a ban its pretty easily done with minimal contact like occurred.

Or the fact Mellor has stated it wasn`t even a penalty similar to the refs view on the day? Never a penalty no intent no knocking back of the head move on. But the idiots on the panel thought Martin should be banned and to make it even more cringeworthy they increased the ban due to Leeds pointing out their error. Pompous, arrogant or completely clueless I`m not really sure.
Essentially, any high shot is a Grade A minimum even if minor and accidental and despite Martin clearly just attempting to wrap the ball up. It was not a swinging arm with a closed fist.
Don't argue the ban or provide footage of similar incidents as it will be ignored, albeit they may show their own footage which they will consider.

Sam Kasiano struck it lucky then. Perhaps the panel used their wisdom and determined that the thing attached to the top of Brad Dwyer's neck is not his head.
"Brian McDermott, with a wry smile, nods when asked if he remembers a specific incident which made him realise he was a prick. 'I do', he murmurs."
According to Wilkin and Tomkins of all people on sky sports news it deserved a ban and was a frivolous appeal. If by some miracle we win on Friday I would be doing thr bare contractual minimum with sky they can stick the rest.
