[QUOTE="johnmac99, post: 794102, member: 73761"] Why do you think it's a farce? Watson was charged with 1) a dangerous tackle and 2) unsporting behaviour. Anyone who saw the match would think the in-play punishment of a red card was harsh, and the panel obviously agreed by giving the minimum punishment of two weeks halved for previous good behaviour. The second charge could have been dealt with by a fine, so he didn't receive the minimum for that when he got two weeks (halved again). This was a young man who felt he had been dealt with harshly on the field of play for doing nothing malicious, and while I don't condone him sounding off at the fourth official, I can understand his frustration. If you think he should have received more punishment to justify the actions of the disciplinary process then there is something wrong with your thought process. [/QUOTE]
