Overview
- Partly redacted written reasons released Monday describe the conduct as "highly violating and intentional foul play."
- The offences occurred in the 57th and 94th minutes of Swindon’s August 12 Carabao Cup defeat at Cardiff City.
- Referee Elliot Bell recorded that a Cardiff player was visibly upset and very emotional when reporting an incident after the match.
- The sanction began on December 19 and includes a £2,750 fine, with Clarke having three matches remaining on his suspension.
- Swindon disputes the decision as based on the balance of probabilities and continues to back its captain, while the public report does not detail the specific acts.
