The Falun player is switched off - in eight games

It was during one of the first games of the year in SSL that the incident happened.

After a finish towards goal, Patrik Rokka got a push that he answered by swinging his club against the Jönköpings goalkeeper and the sack Filip Åkerblom. Deb the latter was hit by the club on the neck and fell over, which gave Rokka a match penalty and a notification to the Legal Committee (JN) that shut him down while waiting for them.

A judgment that has now come and will be eight games long.

"In the opinion of the Board, the applicable penalty value can not be subject to any other sanction than a sensible suspension," writes the Jury in its decision.

In his statement of motivation, the legal committee writes that Rokka's action is deliberate and with direct intent to injure when he hits his opponent on the neck.

“JN can further state that the attack as such does not happen with violent force but that this obviously occurs with such significant force that the opponent should cause pain. JN further states that, in the opinion of the Board, the risk of causing the opponent serious injury is obvious and the use of the club as an offender should, in the assessment, be regarded as an aggravating circumstance. "

In the sentenced penalty, the match that Patrik Rokka has already missed, pending his suspension, is counted and the Falun player thus has seven remaining matches remaining on the penalty.
