Neil Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Still waiting for the clubs official response but the SFA have offered him a 2 match ban, same as Goodwin. Now, ok, he did react to a potential leg breaking challenge by lashing out at a player but he was booked for that, so what else did he do to deserve that ban? Ok he used his hands to turn Goodwin to remonstrate and for his trouble got a punch to the gut. Are they seriously saying those two things are one and the same? Paranoid maybe but can't help feel that the SFA are trying to get at Jennings anyway they can as he has avoided there bans over the betting. I can only assume the club will rightfully appeal this.

Dazzer Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 SFA will use the fact that Jennoe pushed numty balls in the face as justification of the punishment, for both players, we all know they are worlds apart in comparison.

Well 4 Europe Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Big blow for the Hearts game. Oh well a window of opportunity for Hughes, Forbes or Carswell to stake a claim for a place in the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orinoco Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 all of this would not have happened if the referee had acted on the two footed tackle on jennings. Hows about the referee is banned for two games for incompentence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbcmfc Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Are these bans current from today i take it? I think it's "fast track", so any appeal would be on Thursday or Friday in time for the hearts game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzer Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 I think it's "fast track", so any appeal would be on Thursday or Friday in time for the hearts game. After appeal i could see Jennoes getting reduced to one match... that prob the best we could hope for, next question do you have to pay for the appeal process?

David Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Surely we have to appeal this? A two match ban for touching Goodwin on the face? How does that rank alongside an actual punch to the stomach? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbcmfc Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 I would presume so, and possibly run the risk of an increased penalty for a frivolous appeal?? Butcher was talking about £1000 for johnny Hayes (?) appeal, although that was to appeal a red in a game. I had genuinely never considered the fact that jenno could get a ban for this incident! Absolutely shocking. 2 matches for a dive, which is a booking if you're caught. 2 matches for violent conduct which is a red card and 2 match ban if caught at the time. Jenno gets 2 matches for ????? You could argue Goodwin has got off lightly!! How many times have the SFA asked us not to play jenno? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tweed Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 He got booked for the tackle and has now been cited for sticking his arm into Goodwin's noggin. Just like Goodwin got booked for dissent and has been cited for punching him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madscot Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 But the same incident no? Take it to extremes, if he landed 10 punches a 20 match ban ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Namvet Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 just watched it again, how the fuck can Jennings been banned for 2 games for that?. If they are dishing out bans for that there would be a shortage of professional players every saturday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wellfan1984 Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 How many times have the SFA asked us not to play jenno? It's amazing the length the SFA will go to get their way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmmfc Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 This is a ridiculous decision by the SFA. Firstly, it wasn't a 2 footed lunge on Jennings that some are saying, however, it was a very aggressive sliding challenge which in today's world is a yellow card offence at least. Jennings turned Goodwin's face after he had been barged in the back by Goodwin, which resulted in Goodwin punching him in the stomach. Can't help feel that if Jennings had been like the rest of the fairies in football these days and fell to the ground, rolling about (rather than being honest), Goodwin would have seen a straight red in the match and nothing would have happened to Jenno. Motherwell must appeal this and show the elbow by Hooper in our match at Parkhead as further evidence as to why he shouldn't be banned.

East_Stand_Al Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Jenno grabbed the wee Ned by the face that's classed as violent conduct so its a fair cop. Personally think we should take the ban Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DosserJoe Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Agree. The kick was pretty bad by Jenno for starters, and don't geez any pish about the first tackle being justification. Jenno's then went tae lift his dish up to spoil for an argument, one match at least is worthy for him if Goodwins getting a ban. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulliemfc1 Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 what a fucking joke!!!! we better not accept this theres no way u can justify these muppets giving the same punishment to jennings as they did that baldy ugly wee rat bastard no fucking way.

Andy_P Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Exactly. I love how there's zero mention of the two footed lunge that sparked the entire incident. Indeed! To the point that Chic Young, would have happily re-written history on Sportsound earlier this evening had he been left unchecked. Completely ignoring that said challenge he tried to imply that it was in fact Jennings who had sparked the altercation, he should have been given a straight red, his "beloved" Saints would faced 10 men for the next 80 minutes and poor Jim Goodwin wouldn't have needed to get involved. Incredible! When the debate about the topic between him, Billy Dodds and Richard Gordon began at the start of the programme, Gordon had requested comment and feedback and fortunately enough happened to read out my text almost immediately after Young had spouted the above nonsense. So there was at least some balance offered and it was pointed out that had Calum Murray not let the original challenge on Jennings go unpunished then things would likely have gone differently to how they ended up. Better still, well in terms of Young making himself look stupid at least, having earlier claimed that St Mirren were reluctantly accepting the punishment, they read out a statement which fully endorsed the SFA's ban for Goodwin and apologised for his conduct. Dodds even asked him, without a hint of irony, had he personally inserted the word reluctantly. It is bad enough that the SFA have raised a complaint about Jennings in the first place without a fool like Chic Young, muddying the waters with his own agenda and putting his own slant on things. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
