So are you saying Dupree should be banned or O Neil shouldn't have been?
I personally don't think the Dupree one is a sinbin, but can just about see the argument for O Neil sin binning, but not ban.
I'm saying Keighran wasn't banned and neither was Dupree - with a bit of tongue in cheek. I was surprised Keighran's ban was overturned TBH.
If any lifting is to be outlawed then penalise it every time, the current rule of thumb seems to be based on the outcome of the tip. O'Neil caused the player's head to hit the ground fairly hard, Keighran's caused slight contact with the ground and Dupree's was a fairly soft landing.
