Wasps1 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 The officer is only going by the rule book .if players dont break the rules then nothing to worry about After all he has to been seen doing something for his £40k a year pay packet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hearts Daft Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 The seethe is strong. It's only taken 3 pages to find an actually valid argument from a St. Johnstone fan that hasn't been batted out of the park and it's a ban from a game shown on TV as well as the youtube channel. No-ones complaining about the ban. The bans handed down affect Hibs more than us because Walker doesn't get a game. The fact remains that no-one else in the league is trialled by Sportscene and Sky every week. The compliance officer should be watching footage of all championship games rather than having it submitted from some and not from others. Works fairly in the prem and should do so in the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 What if there is no footage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 FWIW I agree with HD here, we had Frazer Wright receive a ban because Sportscene spent longer highlighting him apparently elbowing a Celtic player than actually showing the game, while they completely ignored Wanyama grabbing him by the throat earlier in the season. The referee and linesman both saw the incident and let it go, Sportscene went into depth about it and tried to claim it was a clear elbow. A day or two later Wright was hit with a two match ban. The show clearly has a massive part in who gets bans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topcat(The most tip top) Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 What if there is no footage? Then providing the Ref and his assistants haven't got line of sight you can do whatever you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hearts Daft Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 Not sure what would be so hard for the SPFL to provide their highlights to Lunny directly. Maybe they already do and this is pointless but the lack of CO activity in the lower leagues suggests otherwise. Not arguing that Walker or Stevenson don't deserve bans because of it. Merely pointing out a flaw on how it's handed down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowden til i die Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 There isn't a highlights package at every SPFL game, that's why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Yeah, that's what I was leading to. Unless a kind bunch of Hearts fans film every game and send any contentious incidents to the complience officer then I'm afraid you'll need to dry your eyes and accept that televised games will get more attention.

Gaz FFC Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Stop it Gaz. You'll incur the wrath of the big clubs who have a right to ignore the rules because Scottish football needs them.You couldn't make it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
