Quote: Barrie’s Glass Eye "As I said, at least twice this year Leeds have appealed bans based on the idea of comparing them to other outcomes and bans handed out, or by comparing them to similar incidents, offering mitigation, and at least twice such an appeal has been tagged as frivolous, in part I assume because in both cases there’s no doubt the offence has actual happened.
I assume Saints have taken a similar route, because there is no doubt that Lees did commit an offence, and if they did use similar arguments surely it’s just as frivolous. If they used a different approach it’d be interesting to know how they went about it because hardly anyone has had any joy with appeals and often it’s been made worse on appeal.'"
Lees didn't get banned it's Knowles
