Looks like the discerplinery panel are after us this season, 3 match ban, woe before any other wakey player up in front of this lot !!!! ??????????

Complete joke of a punishment. It's hard to see what he does even on multiple views, that's even slowing it down and watching it half-speed, then following Mason into where it had already kicked off by those from Siddall and he seems to go in and tries to separate people, where they've got that he swung a punch, I can't see it at all and I think the club thinks exactly the same. I couldn't see him swing a punch or escalate the situation in any way shape or form. The sending-off should have been enough of a punishment which was on the whole a bit of a nonevent.

It all came off the back of quite a fair bit of antagonizing of Trinity players by Siddall.
They seemed to go into 'looking for a fight' mode, with the constant head slapping they started to do, which the ref should have noticed and stopped straight away, because refs do in SL because it usually just deteriorates one way when you let a player from one side lay their hands on the oppos heads etc, plus the crap talking, even screaming into our player's faces when they scored, it defo got a bit weird watching it, but all that nonsense hadn't knocked us off our game. Tbh watching it if it had been me on the end of those slaps to the head it would have driven me around the bend, I hate getting slapped around my head even playfully, it makes my skin crawl

Who cares?

I've always viewed bans as rest periods for players - always find a positive.

OK, start of season doesn't work for that so much, but it now gives fringe players a chance to dig in.

The 3 match ban does need challenging though, as it sets a ridiculous precedent.

It comes from the touch judge report rather than just video evidence.
And the size of the ban would probably be 1) if he had something last season too (can't remember) and 2) that he ran in and caused more of a problem.

But still 3 matches seems excessive.

Just seen that Pele has hot a 3 game ban. Hope Lino's appeal is successful. No consistency.

It is what it is, let’s crack on with the game ,inconsistency will always happen and alway have due to refs being human and with every incident have its own particular circumstances. Whichever teams players get charged their fans are always up in arms about conspiracy theories. One things for sure I wouldn’t want to be in a thankless but vitality important job like refs are , damned if they do and damned if they don’t

Not a critisism of the referee more the disciplinary panel

Lino's ban reduced to 2 games on appeal.

Still can’t see what it’s for though. At least it’s better than 3. Lawford has a bit of opportunity this week and vs Barrow. Will do him good and Trinity in preparation for the season.

It's for running into a fight and throwing a punch.
Running in carries a bigger sanction as you are causing it to continue.

In the good old days you'd have got a ban for cowardice if you didn't run in and start throwing them.

He didn't miss.

To answer the initial post, Lino’s punishment now looks typical for the season going by other punishments handed out. So we are not being picked on. Why people chose to believe that the authorities have it in for us makes me laugh as there is no evidence. We really need to stop this hard done by stuff.

FWIW I think we will cop a lot of disciplinary this year as good teams tend to play at the edge to get results. Luckily we have strength in depth so we will be ok.

No wonder he wasn't keen to get involved!



It's Blake Green in this video.

Really? Whoops. I'll edit the post. thanks.

See Lino ban down graded to 2 so be available in 3 weeks

Justin poore played in origin Games, in those games they took NO crap, &, if you wanted a smack you certainly got one, send off or not & even in the next game, the same happened at Leeds on boxing day, if you remember the niggling idiot Leeds had who got away with poor behaviour got a smack after hitting Justin on the back of his head, result 7 stitches + not being on this planet - it does eventually come to those who perpetrate violence !

It was Ryan Bailey he battered. It was worth signing him just for that alone!

Worth the entry fee just for that too!

I remember shaking Justins hand the next time I saw him at BV and saying thank you for smacking the grub
