[QUOTE="RedruthRFC, post: 794145, member: 58362"] Lol, no problem, I take your point. What I was getting at is that I think that I know it has never been great, but it is going downhill. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] Do you have a link to the judgement please? These are always enlightening, everything I've said is based on what I've read in the press and my understanding of the process. You might be right about the guilty plea, I hadn't considered that to be honest. On reflection, I would question the value of requiring the accused to plead one way or the other - why not just let the panel get on and assess the incident as they saw it and avoid the scenario you describe? In most cases, I think that a guilty plea is probably the sensible, pragmatic thing to do as things stand at the moment. Another of the shortcomings of the process as I see it is that the judiciary are aware that rescinding cards effectively shouts from the rooftop that the referee got it wrong, which is something that the establishment don't like doing.
