Fresh news has emerged regarding the tunnel bust up at the New Den back in September.

It now appears that Paul Ritchie could still face charges after the FA have passed on the file to the Crown Prosecution Service.

According to the Times online Ritchie is alleged to have lunged at ref Phil Prosser following his sending off in the Saddlers 2-1 defeat.

Colin Lee was keen to play the incident down after the game, and seemed confident that it would not go any further. However, if the CPS choose to pursue the issue Ritchie could find himself on the end of an even longer ban.

This would be bad news for the Saddlers who have just lost Danny Hay and have only Matt Carbon and Bennett as back up in the defensive positions.
