Looking at the highlights, I don't think that that tackle was much. Will the club be appealing against it? Gibbs White made a similar tackle this afternoon but didn’t even make contact with the ball. Got a yellow card.

Not after the sending off, the players were then afraid to make a challenge and just backed off and covered running players, which they did quite well for most of the game, while we only won only a handful of free kicks. True, but I was thinking about before the sending off. A bit of game management. First 10 or 20 odd minutes away is usualy a case of soaking up pressure and keeping a steady footing. Thats certainly not going to change for us. I thought generally our defence looked pretty solid and we had started to push forward a bit ourselves, then the game was ultimately ended with the sending off. 3 games in 7 days and having to play with 10 men? getting three points would have taken something unbelievable, and even a point would have been a very good return. Now to Monday with very tired legs and Smith out.

Harry Smith has been charged following the match. I wonder what the potential penalties are for this?

If Harry has been charged.I believe he could receive a possible fine and or extra match bans. I tried to Google this.Maybe someone could add to this?

The possible answers seem to be in these two documents which you can search for: "The FA's Policy on the Regulation of Discrimination in Football". Somewhat oddly, however, there's no mention of discrimination in the FA's tweet I posted. There's a link in that document to another one "Standard Sanctions and Guidelines for Aggravated Breaches" indicating an immediate suspension of between 6 and 12 matches.
