Simunovic hit with 2 game ban and will miss the first 2 spl fixtures

[Recoba]

Oh dear rightly deserved it was a horror tackle !


Jozo Simunovic will miss Celtic's first two Premiership games of the season after being hit with a two-game domestic ban.

It's a blow for Simunovic who has established himself as a key player under Neil Lennon since the Irishman returned to Parkhead.

But his fate was sealed after the Swiss FA delivered their verdict.




It read: "In accordance with JPP (Judicial Panel Protocol) Annex C, section 4, Part D paragraph 3, the misconduct reported shall be recorded and the resultant suspension applied.

"The outstanding suspension applied for this offence is two first team matches immediate (domestic football)."

Simunovic's impending suspension doesn't affect his availability for Champions League qualifiers and he will be available for the game against Nõmme Kalju on Wednesday night.

[WinkieWATP]

[Vamos_buffalo]

Wow

Are the SFA now finally realising that if a paedo harbouring club won 9/10n a row it won’t look good for Scottish football.

[swany]

Unfortunately not the Swiss ref sent his report to the SFA so they had to act. I expect normal service to resume once our incompetent officials are back in charge.

 

[Beer Belly Loyal]

He gets away with this type of behaviour often when playing in the SPFL. No card, no highlighting by Sportscence hence no citing by corrupt compliance officer. It will continue I'm afraid.

Killed my buzz for 2 minutes mate, thanks for that lol

 

[Recoba]

Was this for the friendly?

It sure was, he didn't play by the rules and they have decided to punih him

 

[Coop]

Yes

Swiss FA passed over the referee report to the Scottish FA

Can they do that?

 

[mkgers]

Don't want you to get your hopes up pal

 

[Davieblue1977]

Wow am shocked one of there players banned

 

[mkgers]

Can they do that?

They have done it mate.

If I'm not mistaken mohsni got a ban for the Derby Red?

 

[madride]

Had no idea a ban could carry from a friendly. Up ye

Moshni got a 2 game ban for a red card against Derby in a pre season friendly for us. He rapped the nut in someone to be fair

 

[rangeral]

Can they do that?

Yes

In order for the game to take place it has to be sanctioned by both FAs and all paperwork handed over including the referee report

The reports contained the offence and the SFA have acted as per their rules - ok in Scotland it can be a different matter at times with those rules as we know

 

[mkgers]

Does the Celtic Compliance Officer have jurisdiction here?

 

[fergie1959]

This will be his one and only ban this season.

 

[Coop]

Yes

Well get it up them.
The ginger bigot will be raging,which pleases me.

 

[Smkz23]

Can they do that?

it’s up to the FA where the game is played if they pass on the details, in the past both Wayne Rooney and Paul Scholes missed games at the start of the season after getting sent off in a tournament in Holland.

Cantona missed games in England after getting sent off against us in a pre-season tournament as well

Correct. The referee sends the report to the Offending Players Team registered FA

 

[GallowgateBlue]

Peachy! Big fooking useless lump that he is.

 

[ChiefWahoo]

They have no idea just how high it goes

The Swiss FA may not have acted against another club.
Remember, with Sion, the filth have previous.

 

[Papasmurf]

firstly, its deserved

secondly, they will be absolutely furious.

 

[Marstonbear]

Swiss playing a blinder for us.

Last week big Rog swerved the jakey Tim now this

 

[Arkanoid]

Amazing what happens under a semi competent referee and football association

 

[Rangers_2001]

firstly, its deserved

secondly, they will be absolutely furious.

So would we to be fair. Decent result though.

 

[lumbear1872]

I have no idea what's going on here but I'm sure it's thoroughly merited!

 

[LarkfiedLoyalNS]

The good guys of Switzerland know.

 

[The Royal Standard]

What a shame that is . Oh well not to worry.

 

[Papasmurf]

As fans we would, but in reality, he assaulted a player on the park and got what he deserved

So would we to be fair. Decent result though.

 

[Sebo1872]

Ooh diddums, that's a wee shame

 

[Rangers_2001]

As fans we would, but in reality, he assaulted a player on the park and got what he deserved

Oh yes absolutely. And not for the first time.

 

[Gheorghe_Hagi]

And yet an identical assault on Ryan Jack by the Kilmarnock player last season wasn't even given a second thought.

 

[Thornliebank_Bear]

Can Hugh Keevins and Roger Hannah not get this ban rescinded, seems unfair for Lenny.

 

[Khal Drogo]

Dont usually like the Swiss but theyve done well here

Their flag is a big plus though

 

[The Predator]

Can't believe he got sent off in a friendly
