State League in the 80's you name it, I have played it. I have done the same thing, and coped the same penalty. OMG are the ref's in tassie starting to become consistant. You throw the ball at a opponent it is classed as violent conduct. You may be right, it may well cost zebras another championship. But they will recover.

In more then 30 years of playing at a lot of levels I have never heard of a straight red for an unintentional act.

Usually you just leave it where it was or just drop it and either stand over it so oppostion can't take a quick one or just move away.<BR/>I reckon the ref was spot on, regardless if he meant it or not if you are careless enough to throw a ball back in a players direction especially if he or the opposition players wasn't looking then you deserve a red card.<BR/>As for Nick's comments re the appeal, they have been the rules for quite a while now, isn't he aware of them or just doesn't like them? <BR/>Re the footage, FFT obviously couldnt budget for Aurora TV, maybe Nick and his fellow coaches could push their clubs to get together and foot the bill so these incidents can be captured?Sir Mix a Lothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16293795026803717869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290088887405022587.post-67626893328791990362009-03-20T13:43:00.000+11:002009-03-20T13:43:00.000+11:00He didnt look threw a ball hits the player and get...He didnt look threw a ball hits the player and gets sent off banned for 3 weeks ?<BR/>pretty harsh and poor to say the least...<BR/>BTW charlies assessment is SPOT ON to what happened.Krauserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02436330730869246879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290088887405022587.post-14388134932753738462009-03-20T10:20:00.000+11:002009-03-20T10:20:00.000+11:00I wasn't trying to disagree with the referee as I ...I wasn't trying to disagree with the referee as I was 30 metres or so away and did not hear what was said, just giving my opinion. I understand the week automatic suspension and don't have an issue with it, I was just a little confused with the 3 weeks, whether or not it was the initial punishment, I would have thought Zebras would have wanted him in one week rather than in 3, so an appeal would have seemed reasonable. But I have not read the report and perhaps the actual report is quite clear and the appeal is a waste of time?Charlie Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03441669347856391803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290088887405022587.post-23030589407186145772009-03-20T09:54:00.000+11:002009-03-20T09:54:00.000+11:00Charlie / Tommy - the automatic one week ban is a ...Charlie / Tommy - the automatic one week ban is a FIFA directive.<BR/><BR/>Throwing a ball at an opponent is violent conduct.<BR/><BR/>George - Charlies description does not match others at the match (including the referee and assistants).<BR/><BR/>Technical Director group - 8 people statewide every week reviewing matches - without the assistance of video footage means they have to watch every aspect fully - they still may not see a particular incident - or not see it fully.

To overcome these decisions I believe that the FFT should have Technical director group who is present at games to review & report on the referees performance if we wish our game to improve and move forward. This report can then be used in an appeal process to review the decision and overturned accordingly. I know that referees are human and do make mistakes and don't have eyes for all incidents which do happen on the park. Official do need assistance and errors pointed out to them to improve their ability and build confidence. This should make everyone accountable for decisions and incidents which do happen from time to time.George Kokkorishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17456064170324037037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290088887405022587.post-48817012974308036172009-03-20T09:11:00.000+11:002009-03-20T09:11:00.000+11:00Charlie I don't think Zebras are appealing.

Am i reading it correct that because he appealed he received a 3 week ban, or were Zebras unsuccessful in their appeal and the 3 week ban was upheld? It seems very harsh to me, what was he actually sent off for in the end - violent conduct? That is the only way it could have been 3 weeks. It was not violent conduct.Charlie Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03441669347856391803noreply@blogger.com
