They love their "show cause" notices...

I only ever bet on horses or dogs, never on humans.

dogs have owners and horses are ridden by humans .

Anybody know what happened?

Anybody know what happened?

Yeah, he seemed to use his elbow on the face of some deserving Kiwi player, or something. Probably something that should have happened to all the Kiwi players considering the unpenalised kicking they gave all our players.

I hope that it was mcglinchey

Hoping someone should elbow weemac in the face??? You should be ashamed of yourself!

Anybody know what happened?

The Kiwi, and it wasn't Weemac, tried to stop Reddy releasing the ball upfield. Reddy showed all his NRL heritage with a gentle elbow inspired face massage.

Just saw the replay. Yeah, he could be in a bit of trouble, stupid stuff. Wasn't that hard an elbow though....no idea how they all missed it.

 

[pjennings]

The ref stepped in and chipped the Nix player. I would have thought it was dealt with on the field.

I'm not defending the elbow, but, to my mind there ought to be some level of consideration for how the Kiwi was bl**dy almost bear-hugging Reddy to get to the ball... What was he supposed to do? They'd just scored, it's our ball to kick off, if you want to celebrate with the ball, you make sure you get to it before the goalie.

But then, the ball was out-of-play, isn't that supposed to mean that there can be no sanctions from the ref?

Out for two matches:

The independent Match Review Panel (MRP) - consisting of Simon Micallef (Chair), Alan Contini and Alan Davidson - reconvened today to consider the following Citation Incident from Round 26 of the Hyundai A-League 2014/15 Season:

1. An incident involving Liam Reddy (Central Coast Mariners) in or around the 64th minute of Central Coast Mariners’ match against Wellington Phoenix on Friday 17 April 2015. The Player was cited by the MRP in accordance with the Hyundai A-League Disciplinary Regulations (Regulations). In reviewing the incident during this afternoon’s meeting, the MRP took into consideration the submissions lodged by Central Coast Mariners. The MRP determined that the Player committed the offence of R2 – Assault on a Player against Louis Fenton and proposed a sanction of two (2) matches, being the Mandatory Match Suspension plus one (1) additional match. This is the minimum sanction for such an offence under the Regulations.

 

[Roy Law]

Nash or Pearce: I would play one in each half

Does FFA Cup count, or even pre-season games against HAL opponents? ie. Do we start next HAL with a substitute?

I'm fairly sure FFA Cup games count towards suspensions, so he'd be out for our Round of 32 game.

 

[rbakersmith]

The club Twitter's saying he's out for 3 games:

SQUAD NEWS | @LiamReddy12 will miss our last @ALeague match and two additional competitve fixtures due to suspension #Aleague #CCMFC

I've asked for clarification, since that's obviously not what the FFA said...

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

I don't think the MRP would have made a decision yet.....?

Far worse elbows have had shorter suspensions. Though you'd accuse the MRP of consistency the day you'd accuse Abbott of honesty ;-)

 

[rbakersmith]

It is two games:

SQUAD NEWS | *Correction. @LiamReddy12 will miss two competitive matches for #CCMFC due to suspension for an incident vs @WgtnPhoenixFC

This includes our last @ALeague match on Sunday vs. @gomvfc plus an additional @FFACup fixture #CCMFC #Aleague #MVCvCCM

. when we saw the incident during the game ... we figured he'd be in trouble. which then turned the discussion to 'does this bring in to play reddy's last chance deal?'

. in the end we decided the deal was done with arnie and is now ancient history.

. personally (and unfortunately) i still see reddy as an angry man full of spite. i think in the last couple of seasons he has contributed well to the mariners on the pitch - in some ways i think he has done well to suppress, what i see as, natural aggression for so long

. i suspect many will think of this as a 'nothing incident' ... but i won't be complaining about somebody copping a couple of weeks suspension for it

 

[Wombat]

His old man was a RL Hardman. He wasn't brought up to be soft.
He has been our best player for 2 years on the trot.
He deserves our respect and gratitude imho.

 

[BrisRecky]

gotta agree with Wombat on Rocket
