juffery 0 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I think it's an automatic one game ban. If it's deemed violent conduct it can be increased. Stupid bloody tackle to make though. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,182 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 One game ban only as it wasn't violent conduct just dangerous play. Thomson was stupid to make the challenge but can consider himself harshly dealt with when other challenges are examined (including Lee McCulloch's to be objective)... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Thomson was stupid to make the challenge but can consider himself harshly dealt with when other challenges are examined (including Lee McCulloch's to be objective)... Aye, McCulloch could easily have been looking at the dressing room walls for the challenge on Balogh. Went in with his knee deliberately raised towards the keeper & that's the type of thing that could easily break ribs. McCulloch is always a candidate for bookings with his challenges though & it's often a major worry after he's been yellowed. He might have been playing some decent stuff for us, but he'll always be a bomb scare as well. Never was he worth what we paid for him. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tannochsidebear 2,320 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 If Smith thinks it was wrong to issue a red card to KT, then surely he must appeal it. Not only does it enforce a one game ban immediately, it brings a few disciplinary points for his tally this season already, and means he is on his way to a totting-up suspension as well. KT looks like he has not learned a thing since he moved to us in this regard, as yet again he has been carded for a badly timed, unrequired tackle in an area of the pitch that was not hurting us. He became double the player he was whilst out injured last season, but the reality is he has continually let us down by either picking up silly cards, and being suspended for big games. Walter, I'm sure, has already had a few words with him about this, and i'm sure a club fine and a real dressing down, in private, will sharpen Thomson's focus to stay on his feet in similar situations in the future. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
