well if allys only spouting his nonsense to build a siege mentality, it means he aint talking from an honest point of view. case closed.

Bears, if the choice was a two game ban and the result standing, or Aluko getting a booking for the dive and the game ending in a draw, what would you rather have?

it means he aint talking from an honest point of view.

thats an assumption on your part

case re opened

ek

and youre making assumptions about the siege mentality.

or did ally tell you in person?

he might be trying to get a siege mentality going


................................................................................................

just a guess henrik

what was your assumtion based on?

Ek, that's why the case was brought, it was BECAUSE the star witness was deemed to have been conned.

can you tell me who decided this?

Vincent Lunny, the SFA compliance officer. If you mean who decided to bring it to his attention, well, where do you begin? Every paper carried the story that the penalty award was soft in the extreme. Perhaps Mr. Lunny then thought, Hmm... this is my position, I'll have a closer look at this.
EK, do you think someone or some organisation encouraged him to look into the matter, or do you think that he decided himself?

Maybe we should get a private eye to check him out good thinkin Albert

its a flawed system if he only looks at incidents that the media highlight

EK,

i think what the media highlights plays a hugh part in such debacles.

i mean, do first division players come under such scrutiny? no, because they hardly have any cameras (ie media) there on a weekly basis.

so its practically the media that decides what goes in front of the beaks. after all, video evidence was the main concern. if that makes it flawed, i really dont see any other way.

I think that you are correct on that ek, unfortunately for Aluko this is perhaps something he will have to understand when playing for one half of Scotlands big two clubs.
Aluko dived ek, I'm sure you don't dispute that, do you?

albert

aluko dived , but that doesnt mean he wasnt fouled.

henrik

i remember last season Andy Walker described an over ball challenge by Stokes as "naughty" and no further action taken


if he described it as reckless and deserving of a red card i think he would have got done

for me that is far from right

ek, if you seriously believe that then our exchange is over.
Mores the pity, but there will always be other matters.

albert

are you allowed to put your hand on a player as he goes past you?

i thought that was a foul?

soft ? very?
but still a foul

It is a contact sport ek. Goodnight pal.

ek,
its football, not netball.

if everytime the game was stopped when players touched, no one would go to the games. it would be horrendous.

surely even you must agree?

henrik

i agree , but that is what our game has become unfortunatley, it happens every game, every week


all over the world players go down with the slightest touch.

sad but true

if the powers that be want to take a stance against it then im all for it , but it has to be same rules and punishment for everyone


what a point they could have made if the sfa banned Berra for his dive against the cech republic , but they didnt , sadly
