Any decade now.

I've said this on P&B but I don't see how they can say this is conclusive. 

The recordings aren't clear enough to say if there was any contact or not. I don't see how it's possible they can say something has been "proven".



FWIW I don't think there was any contact and I really don't care about all this, other than my interest in how they decided it was dead cert there was no contact.

The SFA and referees have been shown up to be the incompetents we all know they are and as a result they've decided to go all out and make an example of Slattery. Was the playacting embarrassing? Yes. But any sort of simulation during a match is always met with a yellow card. Two games and two suspended is simply ridiculous and well over the top. It will be interesting to see if there is any consistency in the future regarding similar incidents. If not, I hope the club go completely to town on the ones responsible for policing it.

And you know what? The intent from the st mirren boy was there whether Slattery made contact or not.

Yep, no idea why his red was overturned.

I'm all for this new era of holding folk to account for errors of judgement that are not in the best interests of Scottish football.

Out of interest, does anyone know the last time a top level referee, assistant or VAR official was sanctioned by the SFA for such an error of judgement?

[Orinoco]

Youve got to wonder who pushed for Slattery to be cited. St Mirren?

Surely the officials did not as it only highlights how bad they are!

Agree 100% Busta. The club made this very same point at the initial hearing. The bottom line is that footage is inconclusive. The lack of contact was not proved beyond all reasonable doubt. The facts have been manipulated to suit a particular narrative and thats unsafe and downright wrong. Something doesn't smell right.

There’s a series of mistakes that have led to the punishment . 
 

Whoever initially thought there was contact was wrong . 
 

VAR made a chops of it .

 

This has led to a disproportionate punishment . 
 

That being said I have zero sympathy for Slattery , there’s an element to his game thats quite embarrassing and hopefully this helps put and end to his nonsense .

There is not a footballer on the planet current or historic that has not exaggerated a tackle, feigned injury, took a tumble to win a foul, penalty etc, its always been part of football and always will be. So lets not get all " holier than thou and sanctimonious" about Slattery.

The questions that should be asked is when are the incompetent faceless clowns at the SFA etc going to be held accountable for the current shit show that is ruining Scottish football.

I don’t like that part of his game , never have and don’t see it being holier than now or sanctimonious . 
 

there’s plenty of honest pros who don’t dive an feign injury . I’d rather players just got on with it

A very naieve viewpoint but you are entitled to it, each to our own views.

I think the difference here is a player was sent off, would potentially lose his place, bonuses etc...not too bothered about " winning"  a foul in midfield etc , can be quite handy.

As Busta said above, King wasn't completely blameless. Whether contact was made or not, his red card should have stood, as the intent was there.
