It wasn't me SIR - Kamara off the hook - Wright Banned

[ffc2004]

He's a big bloke and he runs into him with his arms up which he then extends as a push. I'd hit the deck if he did that to me and feel like I'd been assaulted!

Look,I know people are partisan where football is concerned but the other day on here people were saying he deserved it, but anyone has to admit that ak is not blameless he did it when play had stopped and he's been lucky yo get away with it.

I just had a look at the incident and really feel BC are taking the p**s. Their guy sees AK running forward and then runs into him, you can clearly see he was looking at AK and no doubt the fall was in his mind. As for the contact AK pushes him high on the chest but not in the face so for him to go down holding his face like he had got a right hander is no more than simulation. So they are pleading innocence but provide the evidence to show his guilt, they must be really a certain type of stupid.

This is just a follow on incident from where they were winding AK up earlier on in the second half.

Intersting in that when someone does hit another player the rest of the assaulted players team normally join in, yet the BC players did not seem to .

What their video doesn't show is their players gesturing that AK threw an elbow, and then applauding the ref for giving the red card.

This decision of its type has been a long time coming. I'm so glad he got his comeuppance also.

The more I read BC defence of their player the more annoyed I get. Of course if AK pushes a man half his size in the face and he goes down hurt. But, the player is bigger than Kamara and no punches were shown and certainly AK could have not got any leverage on his so called assault and at no time did he raise his arms to hit him which were at chest height. The BC player is no more than a cheating bas***d and should be ashamed of himself.

Wow I'm in total shock about this. Well done those involved, and make sure to make use of it tonight AK.

Interesting

[bobbo]

Yes Beamer you're so right ---- what about the Lino . Nothing less that a liar.
He needs some sort of punishment also. He guessed and guessed wrong.

Over on the Bristol forum they've all got their tin hats out and have decided that because they've had a half decent start to the season, the FA are actively trying to sabotage their efforts to get to the prem. And there was me thinking our fans went OTT sometimes!

Video footage of the incident on the BC fans forum here:

Their fans seem a bit upset, but I think they are rather missing the point that their guy went down clutching his face, which wasn't touched by AK, clearly trying to con the lino and ref into a red card, which should have been yellow at worst.

Lovely Jubbly. Especially the part where Kamara makes contact with his chest, and the turnip goes down holding his face.
Karma.

There is no justice for the fact that we played half of the match with ten men.

This is a prime example of the stupidity of the red card system , in the case of an error a team has to accept the loss of a player whatever the match result.

We really should change the system to a short spell in a sin bin and a full enquiry after the match.

[grandad]

By their defense BC should be accused of bringing the game into disrepute. Their own video evidence justifies this action.

[Lighthouse]

I think AK was lucky in a way. He did raise his arms and deserved a booking. What is sad is that the Bristol player thought he would try and get a player sent off by acting which judging by the footage he most certainly did. However there will come a time when this will become very confusing. How a player reacts to being pushed will now have to go down to a judging panel giving marks for genuine grievance as well as style.

Justice served and it's about time.  Glad things went our way for once. 

[Southcoastffc]

I would not be at all surprised if Mr Wright had said something naughty to AK just before the incident.

[SP]

It was obvious none of the officials had actually seen the incident so I can't understand how they possibly concluded a red card was appropriate.

I appreciate BCFC were adopting a physical approach to great effect but why bother doing this at all?  We were 2 down & playing awfully, completely unnecessary.

[Beamer]

Good to see the Captain of their side showing that respect for fellow professionals we hear so much about. If the punishment for trying to con the ref (sorry simulation) was 3 months not a couple of matches it might well stop pretty quickly. AK would have been out for 3 and a third matches so how is 2 matches even equal punishment.

I'm beginning to hate football, so this is wonderful news.

Now watched the footage and it was exactly what I thought I saw at the time. Clearly the City player is simulating, but Kamara pushed him over with two hands. You can understand why he gets sent off, as he was stupid to act in the way he did. The City defender should rightly be banned for overacting though.

No one comes out with any credit from this one, including the City media team.
