uttoxram75 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 We've become experts on Club Statements this season but this one from Caley is great stuff. They've lost an appeal for one of their players diving. This is their answer.... https://ictfc.com/club-statement-9 When the club was given the news this morning that the appeal had not only be dismissed but that James had in fact been adjudged to have committed simulation, we were both incredulous and furious in equal measure. We would once again re-iterate that we do not want to call into question anyone’s integrity with this statement but we must call into question the actual football knowledge of those sitting in judgement on all Scottish football players under this current system. If the individuals involved in this morning’s Tribunal can watch the footage we supplied, footage which the whole of Scottish football has now seen and call this simulation, then there can be no other conclusion other than they do not understand football or the rules of the game. As harsh as this sounds, there can be no other conclusion. Fans and officials of all clubs are mystified by this decision. Check the link out for the full statement and footage of the actual incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inverurie Ram Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 It's only a matter of time before the EFL sign this ref up and have him reffing most games involving Derby County FC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearl Ram Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 You’ve got to sympathise with Keating, his first sending off means he misses a cup final. Lousy decision by the tribunal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mucker1884 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 That is shocking! Appalling! Quite frankly it incensed me, and I was just about to compile a very strongly worded letter of complaint... to, erm, someone... but then... Lo... I happened to spot the name of the competition... Tunnock’s Caramel Wafer Cup! Not only one of my all time favourite snacks, but arguably the greatest competition name in history! You can take your Milk Cup, your Cocu Cola Cup, your Rumbelows, Littlewoods, Worthington, Carling, Capital One, and most definitely Carabao, and shove it right where the sun don't shine... and I don't mean Inverness!

Wolfie20 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Shocking decision. Another example of the authorities favouring the 'big' clubs, albeit Rangers' U23s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The name of the competition is my all time favourite and I only saw it today. Having said that, I played in two cup finals for my works team, one at Notts County and one at Walsall, both in the Alec Horsley, Northern Foods Welfare and Social Cup.

Millenniumram Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 We should have issued a similar statement after that bamford Darren England didn’t give the foul against Marriott vs Northampton. Or when Bobby Madley gave that “dive” against Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 ICTFC have played this right. Absolutely stinks of the governing body playing favourites with the bigger club. It would’ve gone unnoticed without this club statement. I’m sure it won’t change anything, but brings their governance into question and highlights their inability, or worse: corruption.

Sith Happens Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51658213 Decision now reversed. Ok, so the correct decision in the end, but how is it possible it took a second appeal for it to happen? Does this open the floodgates for all appeals against punishment to continue until the desired result is arrived at? I am glad for the lad he can now play but surely it smacks of even more incompetence that it had to go this far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should of seen the statement sent out by the SFA on Saturday.. lots of long words and bluff and bluster. They admitted one of the panel that made the decision to ban him for the dive hadn't actually seen the footage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always liked Caley, ever since I visited their ground, well it was actually a stand and a field behind each goal and a footpath down the side. Good to see the right outcome at the end but the panel, just wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimbeard Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Has anyone been sacked? If not, why not? Always liked Caley, ever since I read the headline "Super Caley go ballistic, Celtic are attrocious." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
