3 match ban it is then

One match ban for Olbison : Tue Apr 01, 2014 6:12 pm  

As title. Misses Oldham game. Worth appealing or not worth risk of getting a longer ban and missing SL games?

That'll do nicely. It was grade c so could have been worse and theres no merit in an appeal that could increase it.

Re: One match ban for Olbison : Tue Apr 01, 2014 6:19 pm  

Definately not worth appealing

The lad has a flawless disciplinary record so if he thinks he's got a case he should appeal.

Should have taken early plea or would that have been one match too? Oh the vaugeness of the disciplinary system.

Early guilty would have been 2 matches. Original charge was a 2-3 match ban so 2 matches for early guilty plea. Panel downgraded charge to a b grade, 1-2 matches but that downgrading wouldn't have occurred if he had used early guilty plea.

Also means he's still got an early guilty plea left to play later in the season.

It's like monopoly!

Time for Oliver Roberts or Alex Mellor to step up.
