Rjc-1988 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I don’t see either being overturned - but if McCabe’s is “hat will have to be eaten”. Close to zero chance of that one and I give Ayo’s very little chance of success either. Hope I’m wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Close to zero chance of that one and I give Ayo’s very little chance of success either. Hope I’m wrong.I know I’m in a minority of one here, but to be fair to McCabe he was trying to take a quick throw to get his team back into the game and some guy is climbing all over his back. Perfectly natural reaction to try and get the boy off you. Ok, he was too forceful in doing so, but wtf was the Alloa player doing there in the first place. It’s not exactly the type of “challenge” you expect to have in a football match. I think, given the circs, he has a small chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted March 17, 2021 Author Share Posted March 17, 2021 Both red cards will stand. Ta ta Don't quit your day job. Ta ta. Good to see common sense prevail with Ayo's foot trod. Surprised with McCabe's tbh but happy enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised with McCabe's tbh but happy enough. We'd be happy enough if he quit his weekend job . I thought Obileye might have an outside chance of getting his downgraded. Going over the ball with studs up is a red card offence but you could make a case that it was mistimed and without malice and that some refs would have given a yellow. As for McCabe, I wondered if QoS had just appealed that on the grounds that if they stuck in two appeals they might be more likely to get the first one reduced. An extraordinary decision. I don't think we ever appeal anything. Going by this we should be appealing everything . Edited March 17, 2021 by Waspie 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the Obileye appeal had a chance but astonished both appeals have succeeded. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rules being written down, in any language, still leave wriggle room. The rule book, much like the suggestion that you are being a dick, is open to interpretation. It is possible to look at Obileye's challenge and conclude that it was reckless but didn't use excessive force or endanger the safety of Ray Grant. The fact that it looked mistimed and not malicious could help that line of appeal. But I believe very few refs would interpret it like that because over the past few years an over the ball studs up challenge has become accepted as a red card. Had those incidents occurred in a high profile match I don't think there would even have been any significant debate. I can't understand the McCabe one at all. Fair play to QoS though, the appeals paid off. Have to say too, I did think the ref made a few other calls that were genuinely far more contentious. But probably been more than enough interpretation here the last few days so I'll just trod on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
