TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Fuck sake, why not appeal? Flipped over yet again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superstar Tradesman Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 That's fucking ridiculous! > The guy tackling him says there was contact but the club are basically saying there's no point appealing. I've honestly had it. Can they just not be arsed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I'm not remotely surprised anymore, frustrated but not surprised. Nothing to be lost by appealing and given "contact" has been admitted by Sproule I fail to see why there's not grounds to appeal. Fucking arserags in charge of our club just can't do enough to pish off their fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAl Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Fuck sake, why not appeal? Flipped over yet again. Apparently the official line is Thomson has admitted he made a mistake in awarding the penalty and it'll cost AFC cash to appeal something they don't believe they can win. Well and truely rogered once again, and Pawlett gets a reputation of being a diver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superstar Tradesman Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Surely a no-win, no-fee type deal on these things would make sense? Or it's just another way for the OF to buy their way to the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jute Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Surely a no-win, no-fee type deal on these things would make sense? Or it's just another way for the OF to buy their way to the top. Fees were brought in to prevent clubs appealing decisions even when they knew they had no chance of winning just to delay suspensions. You get the money back if the appeal is successful I believe. As I said previously SFA set a precident when they said contact on Aluko was minimal and not enough to justify Aluko going down. Pawlet was similar situation. He did make the contact look a lot worse than it was and therefore is guilty of simulation. I just hope we see this applied to all the other teams in the league and we see an end to players throwing themselves to the ground at the slightest touch. Not holding my breath.

glasgowdon Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 It doesn't matter whether the opposition players say there was contact if the Aluko panel decided there wasn't enough contact to send the player down. Surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kowalski Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Whether there was contact or not, it looked like a dive to me. Not enough contact to bring him down, AFC probably realise they wouldn't win the appeal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Indeed, I thought it was a dive. As do I but here's the thing, there are enough cunts in the media and football in general who will insist that "contact" is sufficient grounds to go down. Perhaps this could be an opportunity to nail these cunts, and presumably the cunts that do it too. What I simply cannot get is why O'Connor's dive was not worthy of a 2 game ban, at best it was as bad as Pawlett and Aluko's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maverick sheep Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 can't see the justification in anyone saying this has anything to do with the sfa/rangers/anything at all apart from a player cheating and getting punished. Football is a contact sport. Contact alone therefore is not equivalent to a foul. I'm ashamed we won a game by cheating and completely understand why we've taken the 2 game ban while appealing the red card. There's plenty to get your knickers in a twist about, but not this!

TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I'm hardly ashamed but far from proud about it, not pwoud at all. But we keep getting told that these things even out, after St Mirren I think one going our way seems about right, if that theory holds any water.

To be honest, i used to be of the same opinion, but nowadays because the game has been allowed to descend into a farce I think Pawlett was right. I don't give a shit any more, we've had it against us countless of times and I don't care what anyone says, they do not even themselves over the course of the season. There have been more shameful and less convincing dives (see Aluko and O'connor for starters). We need the points, I don't care how they come anymore.

tlg1903 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Totally agree manc at the end of the day we won the game because of it and this is way more important. His red card will be rescinded surely and he will be out for two games. I dont like it but i think the sfa were right to nail pawlett for this and have shown consistency by doing it which is to their credit. One thing no one has mentioned is that if the sfa maintain this standard players will stop chucking themselves down in the box so much which is no bad thing. It does my head in when a player goes down unconvincingly when if they had fought for the ball they would have been in for an assist or goal scoring opportunity.

Kowalski Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Craig Brown defends Aberdeen FC winger Pawlett ‘Peter would never take a dive’ By Sean Wallace Published: 22/12/2011 CRAIG Brown today remained defiant that Peter Pawlett is not a diver – despite Aberdeen FC accepting the SFA’s charge of simulation. The Aberdeen FC boss confirmed the appeal was dropped because referee Craig Thomson admitted he got the penalty claim with Pawlett wrong. Brown feared the winger, who was also red carded, could be hit with a six-game ban. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granite City Reds Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I think it was a dive so i think Aberdeen are right not to appeal it as i don't think the will win that one and its £1,000 per appeal if unsuccessful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
