Viney suspension

[MTTY]

"I would have been spending a fair bit of time with David Mission, our fitness coach, which would have been...too much fun."

I see what you guys are saying, but the grounds of the appeal were "that the decision was so unreasonable, that no Tribunal acting reasonably could have come to that decision having regard to the evidence before it". This means that the actual incident was not being argued tonight, but rather how reasonable the actions of the Tribunal were.

Haven't read this thread and just discovered this now.

Absolute joke how Viney was let off. Should have been reduced to 1 or just kept the original decision. While I don't agree with the initial decision, the public should not be able to effect the tribunal. I mean, whenever someone is reported, why not just put up a public poll?

There's an appeal system for a reason- in most cases, even with public support, players' appeals are rarely successful.

This was over turned because it was a flowering stupid call.
