Inconsistencies in the reporting from officials and the accusing player making it all unclear. Would imagine they were advised by a suit that a guilty verdict could see them facing some sort of defamation case, given how serious the punishment would need to be and the affect it would have on the accused.

Sounds like he's been a lucky boy. Let's hope he doesn't get into a similar situation in the future. Anyway we'll probably get a glimpse of him at the World Cup in OZ

Quote:It is accepted there are inconsistences but the key issue – the evidence of spitting – is consistent by all officials and the opposing player. The DVD evidence also supports the act of spitting.

That was the match review panel's opinion, not what the tribunal concluded.
Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?

Either way, I think he's been a very lucky young man and I hope Radders has given him the scarlet warning never to do it again!

Sounds like the only one he said he didn't spit was the player himself and they believed him. I would of thought that if the video wasn't clear then they'd go with the officials call.
On a side note, how did he get a vote in the Man of steel awards, didn't think he was your player til next year. He voted for Gigot as well!!!!

Pretty sure FC signed him after his three game trial. He was excellent in the Saints under 23 clash at Ionians.
