Farke Weighs Appeal After First Red Card as Leeds Confront Booing of Ramadan Pause

The club will wait for the referee's report before Sunderland to determine the manager's touchline status.

Overview

  • Daniel Farke was sent off after the final whistle against Manchester City and says the card was shown before he spoke to referee Peter Bankes.
  • Farke denies using abusive language, describes feeling publicly embarrassed, and says he will not jog onto the pitch again.
  • Leeds and Farke are awaiting the referee's written report to decide on an appeal, with reporting indicating he may accept a one‑match ban.
  • Sections of the crowd booed a league‑approved Ramadan pause, drawing condemnation from Kick It Out and Pep Guardiola, as Farke suggested many fans misunderstood the stoppage.
