Quote: ShelleyGiant "Think they were too busy reviewing the latest episodes of Corrie and Emerdale on video yesterday, hence after all that excitement didn't have time to view the the Bowen high shot properly due to the pub landlord turning the video off before the incident occured as it was closing time.
The idiots on the review panel at Red Hall are a complete joke.
I can actually see a reason why the review panel found as they did, their remit is only to deal with foul play not cynical play, that was Mr Silverwood's job. If the panel's view was that it was a cynical block rather than an attempt to injure then I can understand the ruling, even though it seems leniant. The problem most of us have accepting that is that he seems to have got off with blatant, cynical cheating. He should have at least been punished in the same way a tackler then holding down a player who had made a break, preventing a quick play and a good attacking chance.
Silverwood had to at a minimum give Bowen a sin bin for that cynical play, it was 4 strides after the kick, if he thought that the challenge was more than a cynical block he had to send him off. Had he done either of those there would be no fuss. Clearly the panel think it was a yellow not red card. I understand that, I don't agree as I think it was cynical and reckless, but I understand the logic.
If you have watched the replay, there is a clear angle from downfield that shows Silverwood with an absolutely clear view of the challenge. Nothing really that the disciplinary panel can do if the refs simply bottle decisions.
