How many players have we had suspended this season?

Re: Bateman Back at Red Hall : Tue May 01, 2012 8:48 pm  

Absolutely ridiculous, he shouldn't be facing a ban at all but 3 games is just a joke.

Re: Bateman Back at Red Hall : Tue May 01, 2012 8:50 pm  

Can't believe so many people are up in arms about this, very reckless what should have been dealt with by childs at the time, simply becouse it's not called up every time it's done in a match doesn't make it ok, funny how it's the same people who's bitching about batement were bitching about bridge maybe not being banned! Can't have it both ways!

Batemens a young kid with a hell of a future in the game, daft decisions this early in his career need ironing out as soon as Possible, feilden at a similar sort of age was also called for tackle technique, and I can remember everyone screaming foul of that too, helped him no end though!

I am sure Fielden got fined for running with his knees raised. The fans paid the fine if I recall.

Summerising of the hearing

The committee are of the opinion that this type of technique that the player has used is dangerous and has the potential for serious injury. The committee note that there is not a clear guilty plea however the club do admit that the player has been placed in a vulnerable position so credit is given in that regard. The player does not have a great disciplinary record for someone of a young age however the committee feel that a 3 match suspension and a £300 fine is appropriate.

Your club acknowledge its dangerous so why cant you guys

If you look at the Bateman tackle in total isolation, it is a bad one and at the time I was expecting Child to take action. I thought it was dangerous and unnneccesary.

The problem is that the way Rl is officiated is not clear and sometimes when it is clear it is ridiculous.

How can being the third person from your team in 10 minutes to be offside warrant a 10 minute sin bin, yet committing a high tackle or running in to a fight simply gets a penalty?

The question of intent simply masks the issue. Intent cannot normally be proven for on field incidents, unless there is an admission.

If it had been done to one of ours, we'd be crying out like the wire fans are!

someone needs to have a wordwith JOhn!

Not surprised with the verdict.

Bateman's going to have start playing touch and pass in future the way he keeps getting targetted by the officials.

Exactly! they learnt and so will john, all these people saying he needs to be sorted, and on other forums saying he needs to change his attitude is absurd he is an 18 year old kid playing for the club he loves and wants to make an impression maybe he is a touch over eager at the moment but it took them two a hell of a lot longer to calm down than it will john, with experience and maturity it will sort itself out.
