Either that or I am an SFA shill Shinnie should’ve head butted Malky MacKay. He’d only have got two more games. Or maybe that’s special treatment reserved for one team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, Aberdeen fans should be pissed off with Shinnie as much as anyone else - he didnt need to make the tackle in that manner, and (iirc) it was about the 90th min or after in a match you were winning. Dont disagree on headbutting the racist though........ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrewDon Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 It is increasingly clear that quiet dignity isn't working for us as an approach to this sort of stuff. We need to call this out as the corruption it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BucksburnDandy Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 The extra game is absolutely crap. However, it was pretty clear to me this appeal wasn't going to succeed. Ultimately Shinnie did catch Baldwin halfway up his shin, which does endanger Baldwin's safety (fully aware Baldwin endangers Shinnie also, which was missed). Unfortunately it is a red card offence in 2023. That 3 officials on the field of play missed that is more to do with the standard of Scottish officiating at the top level being utterly pish than anything else. I realise I'm going against the grain here, but I'd be very pleasantly surprised if this gets reviewed again and overturned. Ever hopeful though. My real anger is at the extra game, which is pathetic and unnecessary, just as it was for Porteous last season. What's the point in an appeals system that punishes you further for using it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodhull Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Didn't realise that previous decisions aren't allowed to be used as part of the appeal. What a bizarre, self serving rule by the SFA. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dons_1988 Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 I thought the appeal was a waste of time. Much like mccrories, not because I think it’s a red but because it just seems a no hoper. You can see why they made a decision so it’s not going to be overturned. The extra game is rancid. It just feels vindictive, it’s totally subjective by the panel to say it’s frivolous. There’s enough precedent with the Nicky clark red being reduced to make it a reasonable claim, if not one that actually gets overturned. The authorities have their priorities very badly wrong on what they decide to be ‘tough’ on. Punishing clubs for utilising their appeal system seems a particularly strange one. I don’t remember the porteous one but it is mental too if it happened. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incredibly, those abhorrent shower of p***ks at the SFA do not allow precedent in their decision process. How the f**k do they expect consistency in their decisions when they don’t allow precedent? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The referee deemed it to be a clear red card after viewing the footage, as did the panel. Let’s face it, the appeal was never going to succeed. The tackle can clearly be seen as a red card with the current laws of the game. Aside from developing some kind of siege mentality, it’s completely backfired and we’re without our captain for another key fixture. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
