Interesting that PFA are supporting him with his appeal.

We could perhaps add that Northampton 'tackle' on Bodin.


Spot on, in my opinion that disgusting challenge by Ravenhill on Bodin was worse than anything that Labadie did. It could have ended Bodin's career.

If Joss did not bite the lad the club have got to back him, if your buying games your wasting your time.
Joss needs to come out and tell everyone, no I did not bite the lad. Ater reading about Charley Adams stamping and three games suspension, I would work on reducing the length of the suspension if Joss is guilty.
Has Joss come out and said I did not bite the lad?

For the offender though, there is a difference between a bad tackle and biting someone. You can be a second late, or get your angle wrong and end up making a bad tackle, even with good intentions. To bite someone, you have to make a conscious decision to bite someone. Making a tackle is part of football, biting people isn't, that's why the punishment is greater than the potential damage caused. It's like spitting in someone's face won't injure them, but it's a vile thing to do, and cannot be done accidently, so deserves a longer punishment for those found guilty.

So I have no problem with the longer punishment for biting, the only issue is how much evidence the FA have. If the officials didn't see it, and there is no conclusive TV footage, then I don't care what he might have done, he shouldn't be found guilty based on an accusation and the probability that he 'must have' done it.

I think that this puts it clearly that the F.A. have got it wrong again. :goodpost:

What I did not notice before is the size of the lad when Mansell came on I thought how can we play two in the centre of midfield now.
It looks like a decision will be made tomorrow, or he may have decided during the game if he's going to appeal. Chris can work on his team for Tuesday then. Craig and Yeoman are back this week.
Just got to sit back and wait.
This is as fantastically inaccurate a thing as you'll ever see. Practically sums up the whole internet in one short paragraph.

The FA are morons, so they were always going to find him guilty. Wasting time and effort sending him up there wouldn't have made any difference.
Matt.
Judging from Joss' apparent lack of motivation yesterday (he had what used to be politely described as a 'quiet' game), I suspect he has already accepted his fate ......

It's not strange that we didn't send him along at all. You didn't read it last time, so you won't read it this time, but I feel better for having made the effort.

Ah, there you are Matt.. :~D

Well, some people may ignore you, others may on occasion disagree (as you know), but I'm with you on this one; it would have been pointless for him to attend if there was nothing to add to the written evidence and submissions. However, I wonder if it would be advisable for him to attend an appeal hearing (if any). I feel he would be well advised to do so. What think you?
