So a will have a bash at this Ed and you can keep me right mate
With the mess the officials made of it at the weekend I see it as this
Paul Paton has to get off so he will get off Ciftci has been banned by evidence probably because they cannot switch the sending off to Butcher (but Ciftci deserves that) No action on Broonie
VVD ban stands but has the right of appeal and is doing so!
All appeals in by tomorrow night and heard by Thursday at the latest! Correct?
So they will stick it to Ciftci, VVD ban will stand and both will miss the Cup Final?
And as a result of "kangaroo book balancing" both teams go into the final minus a influential player each so they are seen to have done something!?
Thoughts please folks

That's about right Jamie, I was surprised the guy who dived for the penalty never got charged.
It looks like they don't want either team accusing them of favouritism.
I was quite pleased that Ciftci got banned though, he always seems to cause us problems.

JB7 other than Butcher not getting a red card, did you really expect anything else.
Im only surprised they did not have a go at Broooonie.

Hi Gerry & cprs, Both valid inputs a suppose you share my thoughts and if they had have "dug up" the Connolly incident they would have balanced it off against taking action on Broonie a suppose?
But again Connolly is a DIVER!
Drives you crazy! atvb jb7

I think ciffi was already banned from the final because of bookings earlier in the competition. So after the dust settled only vvd will be banned for the final, as a direct consequence of the game at tannadice .
