Over on the Dundee forum they are whinging about only committing is fouls against the Dons. I would much rather see over zealous commitment in the tackle than not tackle at all. Well done Saints for your recent battling qualities. Think all this media hype about us being a dirty team contributed to Muzz getting booked for winning a 50\50 ball last night . Muzz spent the rest of the game frightened to put in s tackle ,which meant he was not as effective as usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOODLUM65 Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 I note that according to SFA website that McCann is facing a misconduct charge, while Zander is charged with "excessive" misconduct. When did this change, as I'm sure originally both were up for excessive misconduct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 Not a defender of Neil Lennon, but he got a five match ban for sarcastically applauding a ref. McCann slapped another player and confronted everyone in the tunnel and gets two. Seems off. croc and dunkeldneil 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOODLUM65 Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 McCann's was "proved", which suggests he was denying the charge. Zander admitted the offence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Templar Saint Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 Bans are not the same. Zander cannot take part whatsover for 2 games whereas McCann is a touch line ban so can still carry out his duties from the stand with communication with the dugout. Surely in these days of equality this is unjust and should be taken up with the governing authorities. Cagey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ScottMann Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 It's an interesting use of the word ban regarding McCann. I'd call it more of a relocation. Zander can't do his job. McCann can still do his but has to move about 20 yards back and up a bit to do it. Some ban that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lennon has so much previous ,he was due a healthy ban and as stated the clapping was a mere part of a tirade that was way out of proportion for a normal professional sportsman. Not sure he has to serve 5 match ban either as I think its part suspended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ban was due to be served against Hearts and Celtic, a sensible man would have accepted that leaving him free to manage the vital post split fixtures unhindered.

Something about an extra game added to the ban if the appeal was found to be frivolous. Not sure if it still is down there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave H Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 Zander 2 match ban seems fair. Can't go around man handling opposition managers.. was expecting more of a ban to set a precedent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pelosi Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 Agree with most of the posts above regarding McCann's two game ban having less of an effect on him or Dundee FC than Zander missing two matches for us. Once again our punishment or part in any offence is deemed to be at least the same or worse as others even when reported otherwise! I guess that's probably because it was taken from the officials report or whoever was in closest attendance rather than just the TV evidence. The fact that McCann has now appealed this and since the incident is constantly in the news talking about Caulker and Graeme Murty his upcoming appeal will be dismissed and Saints and Zander will be the only ones to receive any punishment.
