Can’t argue with the decision, it’s the rules

What does boil my piss is how they are so selective on when to apply the rules

Clearly a red for Walker and two yellows for Martinelli, but nah, we’ll not apply the letter of the law on these cases

Just be fucking consistent or ditch it, not some bullshit where it appears made up on the spot

Could be a blessing this.

Get JOB in the Center now and never go back.

I think their argument in the appeal was that it didn't warrant violent conduct, therefore not a three game ban

[Irishbornevertonian]

I mean, he was sent off for pulling the lad's hair. He did pull the lad's hair. I'm not sure what the club expected to happen by appealing.

Agree, was never going to get overturned

And who at RB, Patterson ?

You can see the lads head get yanked backwards when he goes to challenge for the ball.

It's a shithouse challenge and probably the only header he won all day. Disgusted at him personally, he's a goon and I can't wait til he's out the club personally.

Looks far worse in slow motion, in real time it was barely half a second and did not in the least affect tge players balance.

Was thinking Mark Travers myself like.

So Patterson then, some blessing in disguise that.

Load of bollox he never even said a word until the ref stopped the game…..that’s how “violent” it was…..no one in the ground including the ref and their players saw it….but reffing by camera is the norm now when it suits…..ask martinelli and saka….the pricks actually stated martinelli was not violent play……Keane shuda thrown the ball at him then pushed off the pitch…that’d been fine apparently……

[Toddacelli]

Yeah I’m not going to argue with the rules or defend what he did.

The three match ban for what happened is excessive.

It’s like with handball penalties. You can argue about intent or natural arm positions, but if it hits the hand, you understand why it was a penalty, even if you think it’s a harsh decision.

Aye, because of course, Jake at RB has been such a roaring success.

Just watch it.

If I go up for a header and someone rags my hair, we are fighting.

Well if you think that with such a paper thin squad we can easily afford to lose another first team player as an option then enjoy .

[Blueomar]

Under what rule though?

You can't give a one game ban for violent conduct, serious foul play etc.

If they were to reduce it to one game it'd need to match a specific rule that applies to only a single game ban.

Id say it was more unsportsmanlike conduct rather than violent conduct.
