The Saintee Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 Oopsie, Brian. How highly is Graham thought of at Saints? He had an outrageous run in a shite Rovers team of something like 33 goals in 30 games, before his move to Dundee United. Just didn't seem to work out for him there but he's as big a confidence player as you'll see. He's no Gudmunder Torfason that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTJohnboy Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 So the result of Saturday's game should be declared null and void and a replay ordered to take place. Either that, or the 3 points gained by St Johnstone should be taken from them and awarded to Inverness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly for us our 3-0 loss to Septic earlier in the season also has to stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tadénator Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 St Johnstone should be ordered to play a few games behind closed doors. For being one of the dullest clubs in Scottish football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamonds are Forever Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Why is it a 2 game ban for something which is only a yellow card in the game? Players shouldn't be punished because of the referee's incompetance during the game. And why is it only certain 'higher profile' dives that lead to punishment? It's all a bit half arsed and inconsistent. It's like a procedure designed by Talksport listeners, not a professional governing body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all a bit half arsed and inconsistent. It's like a procedure designed by Talksport listeners, not a professional governing body. It is madness, isn't it? Look what happened to Legia Warsaw - kicked out of the Champions League for fielding an ineligible player (a sub who came off the bench with 6 minutes to go) in their tie with Celtic and who contributed next to nothing to the game. What was worse? Fielding an ineligible player for 6 minutes, when your team was already 6-1 up, or fielding a blatant cheat right from the start who's contribution to the game was very significant - to say the least. The more I think about this and the upsetting and unsettling effect it could have on our players for the remainder of the season I say the league title should be awarded to ICT now and St Johnstone get relegated to the junior leagues.

The farcical situation is completed by him being banned for a game he can't play in anyway, a fact even the dimwits at the SFA should have known.

Unless the SPFL rules specifically deny playing against parent clubs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radford Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Unless the SPFL rules specifically deny playing against parent clubs? Someone suggested to me yesterday that it is in the SPFL rules. Hopefully Saints have it right and I'm sure they will. Away from the fact he did dive, Saints have made the only sensible decision here if indeed he only has to technically serve a one-game ban.

Bit odd from the spfl though if it's in their rules though. Almost carte blanche to take a red in the game before. I'm not sure about suspended vs unavailable in other situations say when players are cup-tied etc. Wheres HJ when you need him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
