steelboy Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Given the number of dubious free kicks and probably opponent bookings he's won over the years by falling about, I'm not sure there's much to be gained by kicking up a fuss about it. For a younger player it might be a teachable moment, but I think we can safely say Skippy is just going to keep being Skippy, and sometimes he'll get his comeuppance, unfairly or otherwise. I'd say it's the other way around. He does moan a lot but gets a hard deal from the refs, Craig Thompson in particular hates him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. At the last NDP encounter Sarris jabbed him in the eye and got off scot free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dezz Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Not 100% sure but I thought you could only appeal yellows if it was mistaken identity? Anyway hopefully 3 points tonight and it doesn't matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted May 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 You can appeal yellow cards if they awarded for simulation. In this case, I would say its a forgone conclusion that it'll be overturned if we appeal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 You can for simulation Did not know that! In which case, based on the TV footage, it's worth a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellowell Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Is there a time limit on appealing in other words can we wait and see what happens tonight 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted May 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 As a follow up I noticed on Pie & Bovril that Dundee and Killie fans had picked up on Accies pitch watering activities. They referred to Rule H9.8 (SPFL) "H9.8 the Home Club may water the pitch at half time provided that it gives reasonable notice to the referee and the other Club that it intends to do so and that any such watering is carried out evenly over the entire length and width of the pitch...". This certainly wasn't the case in our game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
