ShaggerG Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 10 hours ago, Bobby_F said: Correct. But obviously can't be easily proved; and for Saints to spend time and energy to try to do so - when it may hurt Falkirk, but wouldn't actually help Saints - doesn't make any sense. Nonsense. You're just desperate to try to prove that your player had some justification for his thuggish behaviour. If Miller had bitten him (not just Baird's arm hitting Miller in the teeth) there would have been a mark and Saints would have been jumping up and down about it. Looking at Ross and Fowler's demeanour throughout the game I'm certain that they would have taken any opportunity at all to discredited the Falkirk player and present an excuse, not to mention the possibility of reducing Baird's suspension. If Lee Miller had bitten Baird he would deserve to be slaughtered for it, with a lengthy suspension thrown in, so why haven't pictures of the mark made by this bite been presented?

Shadwell Dog Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I'm surprised Baird had the red neck to appear at fans event after costing his side a possible 3 points on Saturday due to his utter stupidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our fans tend to be pretty forgiving when the young players make mistakes. Jack may well have cost us points last weekend but he'll learn from it. He was provoked, but he shouldn't have lashed out.

I've seen numerous young players come through our ranks over the last few years and never seen any of them lamp an opponent in full view of the ref. As I said, he shouldn't have lashed out, I've not seen anyone defending that action. I'd expect the club might have internally fined him, and he's missing two games. Can't keep on punishing people forever though, everyone makes mistakes. As long as he learns from it then hopefully the episode will make him react differently if a similar situation arises in future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paisleysaints Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 FFS he wont be the first or last player who's lashed out for whatever reason. Who knows if we'd have won if he was still on the park yes it certainly didn't help. The Legend that is Jim Goodwin came through it i'm sure Baird will also.

I've seen numerous young players come through our ranks over the last few years and never seen any of them lamp an opponent in full view of the ref. It's only his second full season though, he's still learning. Even players in their 30s do ridiculous things.The boy had a moment of thuggish stupidity and on the face of it maybe cost us at least a point. He'll learn from it. Fair play to Div for saying he was wrong, this forum would be a boring place if everyone did that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the original claim that Lee Miller gave him a nibble but the suggestion of piercing under armour and skin was hilarious.

ShaggerG, I was quoting a Falkirk fan on here saying there's something in the bite story. I actually posted about this on Saturday night before Div did - and was told about it by another Falkirk fan. Seems like there's something in it - but there's no definite proof available - therefore Saints (probably very unhappily) are going to have to let it lie. As always, you should look for motive. People just don't lose the plot quite as badly as that for nothing? What's your explanation - a Materazzi/Zidane incident? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
