This is coming from my experience as a manager/player rather than a referee. We've recently had a misconduct form submitted against a player in our club which is partially incorrect. The misconduct form basically stated that a spectator ran onto the pitch, attacking a player. The spectator was removed and the game continued. The actual incident was the player which was attacked, was pinning another player on the floor by their throat. Multiple spectators ran onto the pitch and around 8-10 players/spectators were fighting. 3 red cards and 6 yellows handed out. Although his part is correct, huge chunks of story (including cards) haven't been submitted so this has been appealed to the FA, including statements from people on the sideline.
This isn't something I've been involved in previously so what normally happens from here? Is this likely to end up in a misconduct hearing etc?
