Banned Moore ruled out for season

A violent conduct ban could cost Moore three matches

Derby defender Darren Moore has been banned for four games after being found guilty of violent conduct in Friday's 1-1 draw with Leicester.

The 32-year-old has no right of appeal, and barring an appearance in the play-offs, his season is now over.

Foxes utility-man Danny Tiatto had accepted a violent conduct charge against him following a separate incident in the same match.

The Australian was handed an automatic three-match ban.

Referee Howard Webb did not see the incidents but, after reviewing video evidence, stated that he would have shown both players red cards.

Davies added: "I think Darren has caught the player, he has tried to get away from him, but I certainly don't see that he has intentionally gone out to raise his elbow or arm into the player's head.

"It's a strange one because of what I've seen and because of the player we are talking about."
