What a f*cking joke - really!!!

Silverwood gets it all wrong and Bailey cops a three match ban, how is that justice?

I've watched this indecent several times now, both from the Sky footage and also from the amateur footage taken from the Southstand (which, surprisingly shows a better perspective of the incident than Sky) and Silverwood stuffs up.

When he blows for the penalty he should have retired BEHIND the defensive line, instead he tracks across the front of what is now a sliding defence.

OK Bailey shouldn’t have shoved Silverwood and that’s an absolute offence which needs to be addressed. A letter or/and fine but a 3 match ban?? A f*cking joke – an absolute f*cking joke.

Third line, fourth word. The mind boggles.......

Nor do I but you have to look at it in context had Dick given a desicion and Bailey had ran up and knocked him on his ar5e I'd have been all for the 3 matches if not more.

If such a deliberate action from a professional player ever happened (and hopefully it never will) I'd be unhappy if that player ever played the game again at this level.

Credit the club for coming out in support of the ban and respect our sport has for officials. As the ball was passed beyond the C defender it didn't really affect baileys effectiveness in the line, im sure he enjoyed a little shove on the ref, poor positioning from silverwood, but no major deal just making a statement and Leeds seem to have accepted it.

Ikram Butt is on the panel, so expect the sensible conclusion.

A sensible conclusion my backside, 3 game ban for Bailey a total joke. Bailey did nothing wrong.

Bailey's shove looks unnecessary from the Sky footage but not from the amateur footage on youtube. I bet the Panel only saw one of the views.

3 matches for something the Ref didn't even give the player a telling off for and that no spectator or even media picked up on before the referral to the board seems way out of proportion.

IF what Bailey did is worth 3 game ban, then why did Silverwood not send him off? unless he didnt see the incident of course........

Of course he didnt see it, when has Bailey ever hit anyone whilst they are looking

Re: Bailey & Webb Charged : Tue Mar 13, 2012 10:57 pm  

Got to say that I think the RFL have gotten this wrong. There was nothing malicious in the incident and it was caused by Silverwood's poor positioning. Bailey deserved a warning, possibly a small fine, but not a ban.

Re: Bailey & Webb Charged : Tue Mar 13, 2012 11:03 pm  

I have to say it was worth a ban from what I've seen. Bailey actively pushes out with his hands at the ref. Regardless of the reason, you simply can't do that. Three matches may be a bit OTT, but the RFL is obviously trying to send a strong message to all players.
