Super_Ally 0 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 The Scottish FA will study video footage of a challenge made by Glenn Loovens on Maurice Edu during Saturday's Old Firm clash. More... To same I absolutely amazed is a massive understatement. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
26th of foot 6,010 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 There is precedence. Remember Ricksen's kung foo challenge at Pittodrie? A lot, and I mean a helluva lot was made of Ricksen's change of direction after clearing the ball, to kick one of the Young brothers. Loovens does the exact same, he clears the ball, then changes intention to stud Edu on the knee. He should receive the same punishment as Ricksen. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankie 8,402 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I think he will receive 9 penalty points and a 3 match ban. However, it is probable any ban won't be applied until next week at the earliest so he'll only miss the last game of this season and the two first games of next term. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought a red card for violent conduct meant your suspension starts immediately ? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,402 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I've checked the SFA Handbook this morning and it says bans from special meetings start 7 days after the date of the meeting. I guess the rules may have changed since the publication of the rules... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Ally 0 Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 (edited) http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/c/celtic/8043854.stm Loovens says he can't understand why they are looking at his challenge. Says his foot had to come down at some point. Yes, yes it did. It just did not have to come down via a sideways strike out at an opponents vulnerable knee, rather than straight down below you as would be expected. Scumbag.
