JackSWFC Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Mellis certainly got his money’s worth if his attacks carry the same punishment as Forestieri’s punch (Which was in retaliation to being pushed in the face, knocked to the ground etc) Just glad Tom Lees didn’t retaliate to being attacked as well! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fessi's been fined £25k whereas Mellis has been fined £1.5k despite clear images of him aiming a flying kick into Tom Lees stomach. Also it is like the FA have purposely delayed a decision until we start what is seen as a tough run of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same for both sides with a relative fine. I think we have...find the fines totally disproportionate. Mellis should have been fined a hell of a lot more for his involvement with it all with the Foretieri reaction, Lees kick and kicking bottle in to the crowd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdan2003 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 I can understand the fine being proportionate to their wages. But Jacob Mellis karate kicked a fellow professional footballer, and the video evidence suggests it was unprovoked because he came flying in from nowhere. The guy has previous as well. He should be banned for longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twolaptops Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 I notice Mansfield were involved in aggro the other night also ................Lincoln away in cup......................................................................... An ill-tempered match, not helped by referee Ross Joyce, boiled over in added time when Imps substitute O’Connor was shown a straight card following a melee involving players from both sides. That ill-feeling continued after the final whistle, with both coaching teams having to be separated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about that as I don't have all the information to hand and haven't heard any player accounts like the FA have All I'm bothered about really is Forestieri admitted it, we've got fined, and he's got banned Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIGHERSTATE Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Ok now we know lets get it over with. Hopefully thats it, I was expecting worse if they looked hard into the racism accusation Mansfield got their publicity. Don't ever give them any attention again till we have to.

owlZfan84 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 I genuinely believe Jos/the club knew this was coming. The upside, is we've been given a chance to see what Matias can do. And he's proved his worth. Time for FF to knuckle down, and come back firing for the Leeds game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darra Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Not over for Mansfield. They played Lincoln city on Tuesday night and guess what . However, City were made to pay for not making the most of that when Walker blasted Mansfield into the lead with his first touch – a stunning finish after latching onto Butcher’s flick-on. O’Connor saw red in added time after appearing to raise his arm amid a bust-up between players from both sides. That ill-feeling continued after the final whistle, with stewards required to separate both sets of players and coaching teams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy world we live in. What do you mean by this? For a second there I thought you were implying that if a black man uses physical violence against someone, the victim of said violence should be allowed to use racism against him without punishment...

He should go around and kick them in the bolllocks. After all he'd face no further sanctions or punishments if we go by FA precedents. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
