GeneralCartmanLee 313 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Most match reports do mention it…..will be interesting to see if the news do although I am pretty sure it was not included in the BBC 5 mins highlights for reasons best known to themselves….

Blue Stars Bearette 1 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Mail today said Loovens had better hope it didn't catch SFA's attention...can't we alert them to it and make a complaint? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briton 394 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 The pictures don't really show how bad it was because it doesn't show the raking of Edu's calf with a third movement. TV evidence should be used to deal with the thug. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember BBC Scotland contacting the SFA asking whether one of our players was going to be punished for an off the ball incident (he was then punished for) so I am sure they will do the same thing here…… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briton 394 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 According to the Irish Times the SFA are going to look in to it. http://www.irishtimes.com/sports/soccer/20...4246292949.html The Scottish Football Association have confirmed that they are to study video footage of Glenn Loovens’s challenge on Maurice Edu during Saturday’s Old Firm clash at Ibrox. There was concern for the home side just before the break when Edu crumpled to the turf after apparently suffering a late tackle from the Celtic defender. Despite initially looking like his game was over, the Ibrox midfielder was able to return to the action and help Rangers hold on to the 1-0 lead given to them by Steven Davis which took them two points clear of the champions at the top of the Premier League An SFA spokesman said: “We review incidents every Monday morning. This incident has been drawn to our attention and will be looked at and then the referee will be asked for his opinion. “If the referee missed the incident, and it requires further investigation, it will go to the Review Panel.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritishBear 34 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Okay they are going to look at it, even the most ardent Declan in the review panel will have to admit that it was a shocking never mind dangerous assault, you can't call it a tackle in any sense, so serious foul play, is it a 3 match ban straight away?
