pete 2,499 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 He cannot get further punishment as the ref saw it and "deemed" it a yellow card offence, neither can Tavernier appeal his yellow. That rule should be changed that you can appeal a yellow. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,499 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Surely the Ref can see Stokes going for the throat. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,245 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 For all the things not given, the Compliance Offficer should be all over this. It is his job ... though I think he's still on holiday. Saw the Stokes vs Tav incident, didn't notice it at the game ... and why he wasn't sent off for that alone is beyond me. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

der Berliner 3,245 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Maybe PC is a naughty boy and teaches his players to go down once touched by Stokes and Co. "writhing in pain"? Had Tav stayed on the floor, questions would have been asked of Stokes alone. Has Scotland come to that though? Doing it the Mediterranean style? Man, within a couple of days, Hibs have raced passed Aberdeen in terms of being the second most despicable side in the SPFL. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearman 9 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 This is the best view. Haven't seen that angle before...clearly shows Jack 'sticking the heid' on him, ref had no option but to show a red. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waltersgotstyle 297 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 (edited) Haven't seen that angle before...clearly shows Jack 'sticking the heid' on him, ref had no option but to show a red. In that case they both should have been sent off. As Stokes has him by the throat and thrusts his head too.

trublusince1982 243 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Where does it show Jack sticking the head on him? All I see is stokes grabbing him by the throat and Jack keeping his hands down which is extremely hard when someone has you by the throat. He then steps forward where stokes then leans in with his head. It's amazing how much we are meant to take before even the very slightest of reaction to extreme provocation brings out the apologists in our support. Would love to see their reaction when grabbed by the throat during a hostile game. Everything after the throat grabbing is just a human response. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 13,609 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Stokes should've been sent off twice. It's incredible he stayed on the pitch. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
