Robins' McAllister avoids suspension

Players who mount up five bookings are usually required to serve a one-match suspension, but Football Association rules this season state that only applies up until December 31, after which time players receive a warning as to their future conduct.That means McAllister will be available for the Robins' home clash against Preston on Saturday.Meanwhile, the club's FA Cup third-round replay against Cardiff will be played on Tuesday January 19, meaning the Severnside rivals will go head-to-head three times in the space of two weeks with their Championship encounter scheduled for January 26.
