garydavidson Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Good on Steve Lomas, saw this in the Metro and stole this from the Saints1884 facebook - "Manager Steve Lomas has hit out at the process that sees defender Frazer Wright having to head to Hampden Park today to defend himself against an SFA charge. Wright has been offered a two-game ban by the SFA for an alleged elbow on Celtic defender Mikael Lustig but will contest the charge in Glasgow today. Lomas hasn't held back in his comments about the system: "Football is a contact sport and sometimes these collisions happen by accident. For me it shows up the whole system because the referee and his assistants saw nothing wrong. "What has happened is that an editor in the BBC decided that’s the incident they’re going to highlight this week and that’s that. "Other managers have had a problem with this. "The system seems to centre around whatever appears on Sportscene. So who is making these decisions? Is it the editor of Sportscene? "You only seem to get done if they highlight it." If Wright fails to overturn the charge, he will miss Sunday's game with Motherwell and the first game of next season, whether he is still a St Johnstone player or not."

AthensSaint Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 The fact that you have to pay a thousand pound fee if "appealed" is ludicrious. The financial inbalance in Scottish football is bad enough without this pish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fazman1977 Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 I couldn't really see anything til that third shot of it. Wright shouldn't have had his arm/elbow out at a right angle like that when jumping sideways. There was probably no real intent and certainly no malice, but it may go against him. You're right about Lustig in the closing shots rubbing his head on the wrong side. Wright hit his left, and he was left rubbing his right.

Honest Saints Fan Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 You only pay a £1000 to appeal a red card! This isn't actually an appeal. So it costs us nothing. garydavidson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wendy Saints Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Trial by sportscene wins, who does Rob McLean support by the way? Going by his face when Sevco get beat! I'd say them. Is it not a prime requirement to get a job on Sportscene, that you have to be an old firm fan!? Is that why Stuart Cosgrove didn't last long on the tea time show?! R McL will say he's an ICT fan in the same way Chick Young says he's a St Mirren Fan oh and Jim Traynor says he's an Airdrie fan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy Saints Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 this opens a can of worms Think you underestimate just how little Saints are actually thought of in the league.....seems any amount of injustice can be meted out & we are just expected to accept it.....ffs our manager spent a quarter of the season in the stand ...a perfect example of the punishment not fitting the crime. Sad thing is it will only be a matter of time and Lomas will get hacked off and head off down south, where on the whole football seems a bit fairer! Certainly won't have to put up with the bigots who have such a say in Scottish football... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
