Steven Baker found guilty

Re: What if Baker was an umpire ?

What if Saints supporters stopped whinging?

 

[MRobbo]

Actually that isn't true at all.

The tribunal were instructed to accept Baker's evidence but given the gradings determined, they clearly didn't.

If you accept that Baker stopped then you couldn't possibly give the grading they came up with.

Sorry JeffDunne, the tribunal chairman said they accepted Baker's evdence FACT

Therefore tonight's appeals board hearing is a waste of time. St Kilda just wasting $5000 they probably need.

Re: What if Baker was an umpire ?

Its about as hypothetical as Gary Coleman marrying the Queen and becoming the King of England. Its just never and I mean EVER going to happen

What, Coleman running into an umpire or Baker marrying the Queen ?.

 

[Bobby Giovanni]

Surprise us for once Bobby and actually post something remotely on topic.

Baker was found guilty.

No amount of pathetic crying and complaining from his daddy on any of the radio stations will help him, nor will any of the pissing and moaning of the regular Saints clowns on here.

But it is entertaining though.

Nevermind, just bring in Hamill, he should be right to go, shouldn't he?

Problem solved: plus, the gutless sniper coming in is bigger than the one suspended. Win - win.

Go saints!!!

Re: What if Baker was an umpire ?

if he was an umpire there would have never been contact in the first place because as baker has stated he tried to intercept farmer before he got to the play

 

[Sebastian Balboa]

Why would you listen to anything Effluent has to say?

He is wrong (again).

Baker didn't know the charge when he walked in the door. He didn't know the grading and hence the points. How on earth could he plead guilty?

Pat is a f/wit pure and simple. He had Baker hung Monday when he knew nothing of the incident. He's as ignorant and bitter as the Purple tossbags in this thread.

Hehe, bitter much.

What a shambles of a club that doesn't know the charge prior to the hearing. St Blunda, all right

But then what would Mark Fine have to drink about?

Coleman would do anything for publicity now.

They are human.

Then how come they never make any mistakes?

Re: What if Baker was an umpire ?

If Baker was an umpire he wouldn't even have seen the incident.

Re: What if Baker was an umpire ?

If Baker was an umpire he would have been kicked off the panel for his regular propping in front of opponents and deliberately throwing his head back into them long before last weekend. There are scores of footballers happy he has been caught up with.

Of course they could, deliberately stepping into and stopping in front of a bloke going flat chat maybe 50 metres off play is worthy of the grading !

True, he'd be too busy following the battle betwen Culkin and Coleman.

Re: What if Baker was an umpire ?

An interesting question raised by a caller on SEN asking what have happened if an umpire was in the place of Baker and the same incident occurred ?. ie. no vision and Jeff ending up with facial injuries.

Would Farmer have been given a holiday regardless of injuries sustained ?.

Not a Baker defence, I just find it a fascinating question/hypothetical given the lack of vision of the incident.

i would have thought the Umpire would not have tired to block Farmer!

Gee I didn't see the charge did you?

 

[JeffDunne]

Sorry JeffDunne, the tribunal chairman said they accepted Baker's evdence FACT

Read my post again. I said they were instructed and there's only one person in the room that can give them instrustion.

Think hard and I'm sure you can join the dots.

Hehe, bitter much.

Say the Freagle interested enough to give a shit what happens. Clearly Freo fans have a vested interest in the decision, you're all about to jump ship as you usually do this time of year.

As for the rest of your bile, gradings are everything in determining the penalty and how in god's name could St Kilda have possibly known something that was yet to be determined.

Unlike Frematle, we don't have a line into the (W)AFL giving us what their pre-determined position will be.

No the tribunal chairman said that when the decision was handed down not before. They looked at all the evidence when making the decison and came back and said that they took Steven Baker's evidence into their decision and that why they came up with the guilty verdict becuase he indirectly put himself in.

Open both eyes.

They accepted that Baker initiated contact, off the ball, which resulted in Farmer being carried from the ground with concussion and a broken nose and unable to play any further part in the game.

Not only bitter but twisted as well.

Jeffgotdunne so baker gets dunne and now you've been dunne.

 

[JeffDunne]

. . . deliberately stepping into and stopping in front of a bloke . . .

Now I understand your bias & the stupidity of Fremantle supporters, but what I don't understand is how anyone that loves football could seriously argue that players should be rubbed out for 4 weeks let alone 7 for "stopping in front of a bloke".

I bet you've made 100's of post lamenting the direction the game is being taken but in the next breathe you're making comments that really are nothing short of embarrassing.

Haha, Freagle. How cute.
Personally, I couldn't give a shit what the blue and yellow scum get out of this.

Face it, Blunderer, your Saints are a rabble - on and off the field - and your biled-up bitterness in this thread is entertaining, to say the least.

Baker received:
4 for the act +
2 re: activated suspended sentences +
1 for carry over points =
7.

You have a new middle name: Got.

Nah I havent actually, been disappointed at some of the suspensions handed out to some of the boys at my club (Cloke, Rocca, B Holland, Rocca, B Johnson) but by and large comfortable with how the game is tracking.

Now I understand your bias & the stupidity of Fremantle supporters, but what I don't understand is how anyone that loves football could seriously argue that players should be rubbed out for 4 weeks let alone 7 for "stopping in front of a bloke".

I'm sure the fact Im coming from a neutral perspective and your not might have something to do with. Also different views on the rules of the game, how they should be applied and how the game should be played possibly as well.
