Re: Costa Charged!
But is there not some kind of body appointed by the league ,since it is their competition,to hear the ref's statement and issue any charges as they see fit , based on the evidence provided by the ref ( the ref surely cannot issue charges) , and then to hear the appeal (if any) , which again, the ref cannot surely do, and then decide on a punishment?Dubai Blue said:The panel that will hear this case had nothing to do with the charge being brought.Bodicoteblue said:He would not have been charged unless the panel thought there was enough evidence to do so.mosssideblue said:Why?
In an appeal , Costa would have to come up with some form of mitigation - in this case "accidental " would seem his only option.
Clearly the panel didn't think it was accidental, or they wouldn't have charged him.
I cannot see any way he can get away with this, but it will add to the chav's persecution complex.
