Tranmere Saintee Posted January 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Tommy might get a 2 match ban for doubting the Bias Broadcasting Corruption He is having another go at them in the PA today and saying that the majority of clubs/managers feel the same, that the system is nothing other than trial by BBC..

deej Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Which adds up to a 2 game ban for 1 gesture!!   End result yes, but by the letter of the law he's got one red for his bookings, one for the gesture, and one for being sent off after already being sent off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two match suspension applied' - no mention at all of it being as you stated. Â I'm with you Tranmere, I think it is a straight 2 match suspension for the gesture. Â Looks like it would have been worth a challenge also since the Appeal Board seem to have suffered an outbreak of common sense. Â Given the circumstances (the 2 bookings from the second worst ref in Scotland and the fact he was almost out of sight at the time) I reckon he would have got a one match reduction.

541ntees Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 radio scotland on Tuesday night were having a pop at Tommy for questioning sportscene. Trial by the bbc There pop was cos tommy said hr felt bad for faddy cos the Hamilton fans were giving him stick-which to be fair is quite embarrassing. Tho lunnys response to whole trial by aportscene was pathetic . Politicians answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indicator Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 It has long been suspected that bbc sport Scotland is top heavy with employees heavily biased towards any team playing out of IBOAK. I don't think there would be too much room for complaint if they would also tip the compliance officer, with the same level of enthusiasm, of misdemeanors committed on the pitch by members of that club. Â However even when they do it seems the compliance officer re-invents disciplinary procedures by coming up with a completely new (in football terms) verdict of 'Not Proven'. Never been seen before, may never be seen again, unless once again applied to a sevco player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingBoobwar Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Faddy deserves the punishment for the gesture.  I do however think the second yellow was a nonsense.  If anything Faddy was fouled and the ref made a mess of it. I thought the officials had a rotten game in general.  That said, the officials made mistakes during the Caley game... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candalan Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 (edited) If the "gesture" was NOT shown in the BBC highlights, would the outcome have been the same? Did the ref see it? 4th official? Linesman? complaint from opposition fans? Does the compliance officer attend any games? or does he depend on 3rd party evidence to deprive players and managers of their income. Or is it trial by TV, no matter what the CO says, which means the the TV editor has complete power over what is shown and what is not.

mainstand Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 I can only assume that a not proven verdict is a kick in the teeth to the compliance officer. He is obviously putting forward the case for the ban and has been unable to prove that the ban is merited. Â In both the cases where not proven has been the result I would have thought they were pretty clear as both were on tv, Â until such times as every single game in Scotland is being covered by TV and independently reviewed then they should can use of tv cameras Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifefan Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 As far as the BBC are concerned they have seemed to capture the McFadden Gesture, Crofts dodgy tackle and Graham's dodgy dive all of which were correct and have gone against us. Â But how come if they are so accurate at picking things up for the tele do they miss much of Saints good play, near misses etc and even when the fans think we have had a good game they seem to suggest that we were rubbish because they have only recorded the other team.

Gordon Drummonds Perm Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 I don't think anyone can argue(not even TW) that the three times the cameras,Sportscene and Radio Scotland have highlighted our misdemeanours, they've been correct. What TW and many other managers are annoyed about is that most other incidents during the 90 minutes are ignored when they could easily of been shown too. Only if it's pointed out by either the radio or TV is it ever followed up by the CO is everyone's gripe. Tranmere Saintee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Partly agree,but Graham for all his pathetic swan dive at the keepers feet,was surely a good one for this new verdict "not proven" as there was no clear camera angle available to show NO contact. The bone of contention was how much or little contact there was.Not paranoid but the system is very flawed and NOT fit for purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cummings on the other hand is a serial offender and I would like to think A Stubbs would speak to his otherwise talented player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
