Humf Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Eh? Had the ref spotted it he would have been given a red card for violent conduct and would have a 3 match ban for the exact same reason (2 matches for this red + 1 for it being his second red of the season).

Pull My Strings Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Ah, the implicitness of a classic witch hunt. A who's a what now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArabFC Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 And say what you like, but there really is no way that if that had been John McGinn for example that had done this that it would be being discussed at all. And the blindingly obvious point is, it wasn't McGinn - it was Goodwin, as it all too frequently is. If there is a witch hunt against him, which I don't believe there is, he only has himself to blame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibby82 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Goodwin, what a guy. Always picks on the wee guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 We can moan about the extra focus being on Goodwin all we want but if he wouldn't do such stupid things his actions wouldn't keep getting punished and he wouldn't keep getting banned. Pretty simple really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aylo vanal Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Both surprised and not at all surprised at this outcome. Ref or linesman spot it and Jim misses a game. Both miss it, and he misses 3. And say what you like, but there really is no way that if that had been John McGinn for example that had done this that it would be being discussed at all. Is it an elbow, yes, is it wild/dangerous/wreckless, is he out to injure an opponent, nope. This is REALLY going to hurt us. It isn't dangerous elbowing opposition players in the face? And if it wasn't jum Goodwin.... It was, again. He's done it 5/6 times now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sergie's no1 fan Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I would say it would be best if he retired but we don't have anyone else in our squad that is able to replace him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AberdeenBud Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 This is the season from hell. Should be some hilarious line ups over the next few weeks. In blaming the strip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggie_Murray7 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 He should have ran up and cracked him from behind then left him ina pool of blood. He'd only have gotten one game for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he keeps missing games through suspension you might aswell try and find a replacement for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AberdeenBud Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I think Osbourne was brought in with this in mind. But good player that he is, he's also a complete crock, and unsurprisingly is out at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I came on to this thread expecting him to be lambasted by St Mirren fans, perhaps even talk of him being shown the door. How silly of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby_F Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Eh? Had the ref spotted it he would have been given a red card for violent conduct and would have a 3 match ban for the exact same reason (2 matches for this red + 1 for it being his second red of the season). Pretty sure if the ref had seen it at the time he'd have given a second yellow leading to a one match ban. It's the repeated slow mo and Sportscene magnifying glass that have turned it in to violent conduct. Watch it in real time and it doesn't look anything like as bad. Don't get me wrong, I dearly wish he didn't put himself in to these situations - especially as he must by now know that any misdemeanour from him is going to - literally - come under the magnifying glass.

How silly of me. Then you have selective reading issues as there are plenty of us on the thread who are very unhappy at him. He has no-one to blame but himself and all the deflection and whataboutery in the world won't change that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colliedug Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 There is no defending an out and out thug I thought when he was given the coaching job things would have changed but how wrong was I but on the plus side it'll be a plus for the jags this weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd have got a 2 match ban if he'd been given a second yellow - the additional game for a previous red card would still have applied. However, the yellow card would quite clearly have been the wrong decision given that he deliberately elbowed the guy. How it looks in real time isn't really relevant - his intent was to elbow the player, and that constitutes violent conduct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergie's no1 fan Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Will it be a standard ban or can the SFA add a few games given his previous behaviour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
