View Full Version : Tribunal Lotto
Stupid, Young, Careless, Psycho?!?!?!?!?!?!
I voted 6 on this basis!
Already coped 2 for repeat offence and it was fairly harmless incident.
+2 weeks for doing it again and so soon.
+1 week because it was to the back of the head
+1 week for the fact that he took Grant out of the game
The stupid part about this "incident" is that it the ACTION really WASN"T ALL THAT BAD but the RESULT was.
Six weeks would be ridiculous...........only the "mega-bad" actions (such as Mark Bickley's effort on Wakelin a couple of years ago) get that sort of sentence.
Actually, the Tribunal's official line is that they DON'T take into account past record in determining the severity of the sentence.
Personally, I think if they give him any more than two weeks, whatever shred of credibility they've got left will go out the window.
3 for mine.
One for the incident, plus another for priors.
At least Shaw and Cole wont wake up with cold sweats this week.

Shesh,poor Brownie.Imagine how he feels.He did nothing more than we want him and the other blokes to do,and you guys want his toenails pulled.
Hard to please.
Look closely guys,nothing in it.Late yes,nothing more than a dozen others in the same match.
Talking of priors, surely Grants neck disorder should be taken into account.Its a pre existing injury and would have made ANY new incident worse than if it was a player with NO pre existing injury to the neck.

I have looked at this incident a few times and there really is not much in it. As Campbell said due the pre-existing condition the result was ten fold. I reckon if Grant had got up and carried on after the "incident" we wouldn't even be talking about it let alone be seeing JB up at tribunal.
That said we can;t turn back the clock and with his history etc I don;t think the tribual will even look at the tape, they'll just see JB standing there and immediately issue a minimum of 2.
