| Quote: GiantDee "Has anyone actually read the findings of the hearing?
It sets out the reasons for the charge, that the disciplinary panel think there was contact to the head with the shoulder. It also sets out the defence put forward by Shaun McRae that first contact was with Robbo' back followed by a clash of heads, he goes on to state that Ellis anticipated the head clash and turned away (which would explain his unusual position).
The hearing concluded that both the panel and Shaun McRae's explinations were plausible and that they could not tell which was correct and so could not find the player guilty.
Both the panel who referred the matter and Hull FC accept there was contact with Robbo's head, HFC contend it was a clash of heads. There is no judgement on whether it was a penalty or not, there was enough reasonable doubt to prevent Gareth Ellis being found guilty of striking. Which is pretty much fair in terms of what they were looking at.
Both sets of fans can carry on arguing whether it should have been a penalty or move on.
Also fair was the panel's view on Eorl and Jacob Miller - "Player applies legitimate kick pressure. No contact with head"'"
This post is far too sensible and logical.

I don't think anyone on here particularly wanted gareth ellis banned.
strange kinda rant this.'"
Stop being sensible. It's no fun. ![Wink icon_wink.gif](images/smilies//icon_wink.gif)

Paul Anderson sums it up:
"I may have been fuming over the incident, but I certainly didn’t want Gareth Ellis to pick up a ban. That wasn’t what I was after.
My point was that from the footage of the incident we received I couldn’t see Gareth’s right arm being lifted, which meant a shoulder charge.
There was contact with the head, which, in my eyes, is a penalty. That’s why Robbo was lying on the ground with his eyes shut.
No-one wants to see a player ending up like that.
I think what made it even worse was that a penalty wasn’t given, Hull played on and scored a try as a result of it. It was a score that clearly should not have counted."

| ^^ as Baloo said, i think thats what the majority of us thought too....our complaint was we didnt get the penalty and they were allowed to continue and score a try to draw level - it could have cost us the game in the end. Dont think anyone had any animosity towards Ellis, more the decision not to penalise it.
