So where was Tomkins 3 match ban for a deliberate push on the referee before confronting him to berate him about 'getting in the way'

you cant have it both ways!

You can't possibly be that stupid. I'll just assume you missed this bit...



I was stating the facts of the case. I've got no idea why you responded to be honest.

I responded to the usual cherry tinted nonsense you Pie People manage to trot out whenever any of your players, or indeed your Club steps over the line.

[i"The panel believe the player's actions were reckless and contact was certainly made with the eyes of the opponent"[/i.

Even if they did accept his Plea in Mitigation that it was not deliberate , I don't, nor I suspect do any non Wigan fans who watched the replays either.The 4 match ban, plus another for striking the guy is a pretty clear indicator of what they really thought of this obnoxious individual.

He plead Guilty to gouging. Hardly the response of an innocent person who is convinced of his innocence, and received a 4 match ban for the offence. As always, Google is your friend, and would suggest you look up the words guilty/culpable/blameworthy/reprehensible......

Don't understand how they say he doesn't make contact with his eyes. Just about every poster on here (including Leeds fans) accept he made contact with the eyes. Even Stevo saw it!

Some say minimal, others say he tried blinding him, but everyone accept he made contact with the eyes except the numpties on the disciplinary panel.

For me Ablett scratched at the eyes. Wasn't as bad as Hocks but has no part in our game and is worth a 3 match ban.

He doesn't actually make contact with the eyes. He was very very close with two of his fingers, and there was a definite scratch/gouge movement. All I can think of is that he's been let off because he missed. There is no justice in the RL Disciplinary Panel because if such huge inconsistencies and it being a complete lottery if someone is charged or not.
