The thing is, no system is perfect. A player gets banned in his club's last game of the season, then moves to another club. Use the system you've suggested and you finish up penalising his new team. Leave it as it is.

Idiot

Well charged with grade B offence
No EGP 2 matches
The guidelines also indicate that any injury caused results in the higher match ban
Oh dear ...

Like to know what Tony Smith said to him after full time.

Putting someone in hospital and someone attending hospital for a check up and then being absolutely fine are two HUGELY different things.

What if he's found not guilty?

He'll get a ban anyway because he only plays for Wire!

Staying in overnight because the Doctors want to keep you in for observation and a checkup are also again HUGELY different things.

HUGELY different to what, I take it you mean discharged immediately?

How is Mr Gale?

You are right, no system is perfect. However, it shouldn't stop us trying to improve the system we already have just because we will never achieve perfection.

If a player is banned in his last game for a club, under the current system it does penalise his new club as the suspension is carried forwards (eg Hock and, cough, Sandow!) so that's hardly a reason not to move forwards.

Surely the current systems is designed as much as possible to penalise the individual - nobody can hold a whole club responsible for the actions of an individual (okay, some Saints fans may argue otherwise re: Shaun Wane)?

If a player racks up loads of future suspensions, he will be less attractive to other clubs who may sign him in future. Sounds like an excellent deterrent to committing foul play in the first place to me.

He is fine.
However, he wasn't fine when we needed him to be for 76 minutes on Sunday (though at least he didn't have to suffer watching the team as I did).
Nor does the fact that he is okay retrospectively justify any foul play.

It's about time coaches were fined for spouting off about fictitious injuries. sneyd was pilloried for his tackle on maguire when mcdermott came out and claimed his ankle was broken when he had no idea and was shown to be an idiot when maguire was back 2 weeks later. It's like players feigning injury to get a penalty or someone sent off. The game is going the way of football
