3 match penalty notice

...that's three threads it's been mentioned on now.

No probs it was breaking news
Thought it best posted new topic under his name ..

A dumb needless shove in the back from Satae, and an even dumber decision to give three matches for it, who sits on this panel, which deems an attack by the forearm under the chin, equates to the same penalty as a push in the back.

I think it was, Woolf, Lamb and Mac Banana

Tbh I would rather get hit under the chin than take the hit Satae put in. When the player has relaxed and isn't expecting the hit it can be really dangerous. I don't have any issue with 3 matches so long as they are consistent with these.

Don’t agree a shove in the back, versus a smash in the chin, no contest. The panel are consistent, consistently poor.

I think you are being a bit disingenuous calling it a shove in the back. It was pretty forceful and Satae is a big guy. You saw how much his neck snapped back.

There are plenty of people who have met their maker being hit under the chin, not so many being shoved in the back, unless of course your on a cliff edge as such, or under a train perhaps. I’m not being disingenuous, our opinions obviously differ on the severity of the punishment doled out, a dumb shove as I said, compared to an attack to the head and neck area is deemed equal. Although the referee decided to give Satae no more than a talking to, and yet Chris Hill was red carded.
