Missing GRACE so much, that final ball is non existent, we need to change and what is the point of buying Kaikai and playing him totally out of position??
It's a "Punch" of sorts, but not enough force to take a grown man to the floor. But as much as we loved O Nien we all knew he was at best someone who "made the most" of contact.
Mehmeti needs to wise up a bit though. Could easily have been a red, guaranteed a defeat, potentially heavier than this, and seen 3 games on the sidelines.

Sunderland fans claiming Scowen punched O'Nien. Which I'm inclined to completely disregard, but can anyone actually confirm?
He went down like he'd been punched but think he brushed past him at worse, TV might show different. All a bit odd today after promising 10 mins. Right side doesn't work at all and Vokes is expected to knock down balls from all angles to himself.
I'd expect Mehmeti or Horgan to depart for Bayo before long, might weaken midfield but we aren't getting any joy anyway.
As for them wedging us into a block by the roof it shouldn't be allowed tbh

I think it will be a lot longer than three. A punch is a punch; let's take our blue-tinted specs off.
O'Nien has now been gone long enough to be completely annoying. I realize JJ is the only Wycombe player on the pitch he played with, aside from perhaps a couple of games from Curtis.
Not entirely sure why we're all getting so stressed about a trolling Sunderland fan on here. So Scowen didn't play well for them? He was moved on from QPR too, and their loss is our gain. He clearly fits a more working midfield than how Lee Johnson would like to play. How many times have we moved a player on who has performed elsewhere? I recall Junior Morias showed nothing when he played a few times for us, then went on to play well at Peterborough.

We're not talking Paul Davis smashing Cockerill's jaw into pieces years back and getting a proper long term ban.
I can't see that more than a 3 match ban.

Can he be banned even though the officials missed it on the field of play?
I could certainly see GA dropping him for a game for ill-discipline...
Yes as it's violent conduct (at best).
Violent conduct has a 3 match ban.
Unless it's something particularly out of order, like a Suarez bite, or Ben Thatcher elbow.
A powder puff Mehmeti semi punch wouldn't make any headlines.
Being league 1 we will probably get away with it anyway.

I had it in my head that Barton had got a much longer ban for a punch - but then he's kind of a special case... Probably only three, yeah.

Just don't draw too much attention to it in all your reports you splash around the internet
Barton got a long ban, but then he had a few punches, butts and general nobbery against City that time.
And is obviously Barton, a guy with a crime sheet longer than time itself.

I’ll defend the indefensible. O9 grabbed his neck just before he lashed out. A neck pinch may have made his feel like swinging an arm.

O Nien definitely inflamed it, nothing more frustrating for a flair player than some hack grappling them off the ball.
But it wouldn't be any real justification for a red card and 3 match ban stewing.

Is that Scowen? Definite punch, though O'Nien threw his head forward.

Mehmeti, surely?
@Shev Yeah, it's Mehmeti.

No excuse for that. It's annoying that one of players has played into the dirty Wycombe stereotype that profoundly.
GMac not GRACE!
That's going to be a seriously long ban as well
GMac does play with absolute Grace!
Young Anis was lucky to get away with that one
This has all the makings of Sunderland crowing at us till we get them back at Our House, full strength.
He went down like he'd been punched but think he brushed past him at worse, TV might show different. All a bit odd today after promising 10 mins. Right side doesn't work at all and Vokes is expected to knock down balls from all angles to himself.

Nature abhors a vacuum. And it’s unlikely, but hardly ludicrous.

Thanks Tom - wasn't sure what could or couldn't be ruled on if the match officials miss it
That said, just had a look at previous bans for punches and found a couple (Dele Alli and a certain J. Barton) which were both three-gamers.

Intent the only thing that matters, but does he actually make contact with any part of his body? Let alone his face.

No justification whatsoever. He's young, and he'll learn, but it's really, really bad.
we really need to get a plan B in place ...
Twitter have already got the footage taken down. Imagine if they took such a serious stance on the real problems.
