If they are guilty of excessive misconduct whilst on the pitch and it is the referee who has drawn attention to it then I don't understand: 1 - Why he didn't take any action at the time. 2 - Why they have waited over a month to take the further action. The teams meeting again this week doesn't really wash. So what? They will meet again another twice before the season ends too. If anything that's more reason to deal with it before the game. These sort of things are difficult at the best of times. If it's verbal abuse then the cameras are unlikely to have caught it unless it was right at the touchline nearest the filming. That means it depends on witness statements and puts team mates in the equation as the only "neutral" is the referee, unless it was also in earshot of one of the other officials.

NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I am surprised FFC hasn't issued a statement on the coin throwing tbh. It's poor behaviour from our support, could easily take somebody's eye out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyline Drifter Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Photos don't look great for O'Hara but without knowing what he actually said, it still doesn't prove anything (though it's possibly decent corroborative evidence to what McLean said he heard). Still can't see any explanation for the referee not taking action at the time if he felt it was excessive though. Maybe he thought about it later when writing his report. Or maybe he actually didn't think it was excessive but has quoted what he heard and someone higher up thought it was excessive when they read it.

We'll probably never get a real answer on the delay in citing, or the not taking action at the time, but I think O'Hara is in for a lengthy ban. Not sure of the evidence against McKee other than he said/she said, but O'Hara is fucked based on the photos I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why on earth wouldn't they be dealt with at the same hearing. O'Hara's case to be heard tomorrow but McKee next week. Is he unavailable this week or something? Presumably that means if case proven O'Hara will start his suspension this weekend against Inverness but McKee will be free to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there's been a lot worse in games this season and in previous seasons and yet we seem to be getting singled out once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairney The Dinosaur Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 The best thing about this whole Shiels thing is that mad coyb Facebook. There’s a lot of folk desperate to make excuses for the O’Hara photo. “He’s pointing at his head cause they put there heads together, crazy gesture, he pointed at his eye to show he’d seen the challenge.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
