Noticed that Steven Naismith got a 2 game ban for his elbow off the ball against Dunfermline last Saturday. I think he's lucky that's all he got, as it was a terrible incident. He's banned for their next 2 matches against Killie and Hibs!

A good outcome imo. These fast track proceedings have improved disciplinary hearings somewhat.

it is a good outcome BUT, Dunfermline should have had a penalty, and a player that went on to score 2 goals should have been sent off. So from Dunfermlines point of view, dissapointing that it wasnt noticed by one of 2 nearby officials.

The really unfair thing is if he does go off it changes the game, no doubt. As to whether it changes the result it is impossible to say. But Killie are in a similar position to Dunfermline in the league and we are below them. By losing a player it could be said both teams have a better chance of moving away from and catching Dunfermline respectively. Dont get me wrong I am not complaining given we are the ones trying to catch them, but it is harsh!
Get the officials to give a flying one, and stop being so sh*t scared of making a decision that does not favour the old firm.

Would also be interested to know how often, they finish a game 10 against 10, you know the refs chock on evening things up.

The ref should be pulled up by his superiors for his part in this. I have just seen the pictures from the camera behind the goals and he is looking right at the incident. Bottled an easy decision IMO.

It's good news that he won't be playing against us. Now all we need is for Jelavic and Davis to either get sent off or pick up a knock tomorrow night against Kilmarnock and we might just be in with half a chance!

I don't think there was any controversial incidents when we had the foreign refs last year.
We have corruption riddled through our game although some choose to ignore it.

Interesting stats regarding discipline in the last three seasons or so. This is total number of yellows and reds in the league.
2008/09:
Celtic - 49 yellows, 2 reds. (Best discipline).
Rangers - 65 yellows, 5 reds. (7th best discipline).
Killie - 92 yellows, 2 reds. (Worst discipline).
Hibs - 75 yellows, 4 reds. (2nd worst discipline!)
2009/10:
Celtic - 51 yellows, 4 reds (2nd best discipline).
Rangers - 58 yellows, 5 reds (6th best discipline).
Hearts - 76 yellows, 9 reds (worst discipline).
Hibs - 62 yellows, 4 reds (5th worst discipline).
2010/11:
Celtic - 64 yellows, 5 reds (6th best discipline).
Rangers - 60 yellows, 1 red (2nd best discipline).
Hearts - 84 yellows, 5 red (worst discipline).
Hibs - 71 yellows, 6 red (3rd worst discipline).
2011/12 so far:
Celtic - 5 yellows, 1 red (best discipline).
Rangers - 11 yellows, 1 red (3rd best discipline).
St Mirren - 19 yellows, 1 red (worst discipline).
Hibs - 20 yellows, 0 red (2nd worst discipline).
The gulf in bookings/sendings off is incredible, and I don't think it's because the Old Firm have players who are interested in fair play.
What was that about a conspiracy again?

Just saw the elbow on SSN for the first time. Very lucky to escape with a 2 game ban!

We have a guy that plays for us that was citied by a referee for violent conduct, use of an elbow. Now, he gets 4 games for the violent conduct, 4 games for the elbow and another 4 because we are top of the league with 8 games to go plus cups (summer football), sour grapes from the other teams that sit on the disciplinary panel I presume. This is his first suspension in at least 3 years not even for an accummulation of yellows has he been suspended. We have of course appealed the extra 4 games that the bams have given him and await the outcome.
But what I can't understand is this offence carries a 2 game penalty in the SPL, a 3 game penalty in the Juniors, so why a blooming 8 game penalty in the amateurs?
