Quote SirStan="SirStan"I saw the Amor one on SL Fulltime. Given the refs positioning, I can't fathom how he managed to stay on the pitch. To compound that error with a 1 game ban is ridiculous, unless they reverted back to the "Bowen scale", in which case he was hard done to!'"
You're absolutely right, no way in my eyes that the ref could not see that happen, he was looking straight at it.
This is then compounded by the match review panel grading it as "[iB-C Reckless – tackler in control[/i " as opposed to "[iD-F Intentional – clenched fist – intent to make contact with head[/i" or
"[iD-F Intentional – stiff arm tackle – no attempt to tackle legitimately – violent[/i"
How anyone can watch the video and tell me that is not INTENTIONAL from Amor is beyond belief.
Same with comparing the Poore incident with the Whiting one - No difference in my opinion (except one on Whiting actually looks worse) but treated completely differently.
What do these people do when reviewing the matches? Because they're clearly not looking at the physical evidence.
