Ivehoe was marched by referee John Francis with 12 minutes remaining in the match for a spear tackle on Jets hooker Luke Harding.
Last week Westside's Shane Konz was given a three-week suspension by the Group 11 judiciary for a spear tackle on CYMS prop Nick Wilson, and there has been uproar in some circles that the suspension wasn't long enough.
If Ivehoe elects to fight the charge at the judiciary, much will hinge on Francis' report as it's believed neither the Narromine club video or television footage from the match captured the incident, which happened after the ball had cleared the area.
Meanwhile, Cobar junior Bailey Prendergast was also sent off however the official Group 11 match statements made no reference to what he was sent off for.
Ivehoe's send-off marred Forbes' 54-32 win over Narromine, which moved them into sixth place on the Group 11 ladder.
The Magpies have found some form in recent weeks, with three wins and a 12-point loss to Wellington in their past four clashes.
Their charge may be too late to see them play finals football in 2014 but hopefully it gives them the impetus to put together a strong squad a perform well next season.
In the round's other first grade fixture Nyngan returned to the winner's list with a lucky 24-16 win over Cobar at Larkin Oval.
The Tigers were down 16-10 at half-time and were still trailing heading into the final few minutes before a pair of late tries got them over the line. Their win, combined with Parkes' loss to CYMS, resulted in Nyngan regaining fourth spot on the competition ladder heading into the final month of the regular season. They're guaranteed another two points next week courtesy of the bye while Macquarie, who sit two points clear of them in third place, face the task of trekking to face the in-form Forbes.
