Dominic Kinnear apologizes for what Morrow calls "Extreme Violent Conduct"

Re: Yallop Apologizes for Player's "Extreme Violent Conduct"

Yallop eh?

And he said it was extreme violent conduct eh?

 

Re: Yallop Apologizes for Player's "Extreme Violent Conduct"

Yallop?

Mods, could you fix the headline?

 

Re: Yallop Apologizes for Player's "Extreme Violent Conduct"

Poor Frank Yallop. Apologizing for other teams.

EDIT - Damn. Don't you people sleep?

 

Re: Yallop Apologizes for Player's "Extreme Violent Conduct"

And Ill clarify this is the FC Dallas's coaches wording, to an FC Dallas reporter, who gets much of his information from FC Dallas sources. To be accurate, the headline should be "Kinnear apollogizes for what Morrow calls "Extreme Violent Conduct""

Kinnear though is a class guy. It doesnt suprise me that he appologized for the incident.

 

Re: Dominic Kinnear apollogizes for what Morrow calls "Extreme Violent Conduct"

Ruiz looks like a pro wrestler that got hit with a chair. Why is he grabbing his head when he got hit in the shoulder? And does he usually carry packets of ketchup with him?

 

Re: Yallop Apologizes for Player's "Extreme Violent Conduct"

My issue was that the quote was presented in a way to make it sound like that was Kinnear's choice of words. I have no idea what Kinnear and the Dynamo think exactly. I know hes not happy, he doesn't tolerate this kind of stuff. But I dont know exactly what the Dynamo think about how bad the incident was in comparison to other incidents.

As for the length of the suspension, heres what a 6 game suspension for fighting looks like to MLS

 

Re: Yallop Apologizes for Player's "Extreme Violent Conduct"

Kicking a prone player is tons worse than punching someone holding you.

I say, a 10 game suspension is warranted.

Which may be the end of Rico Clark in MLS.

 

Re: Yallop Apologizes for Player's "Extreme Violent Conduct"

Sala didn't punch a player... he hit one player from behind, knocked another off his feet, and took a wild swing at a third, and took a couple jabs at a 4th. Thats 3-5 punches thrown, one of which knocked a guy clean off his feet... and it was a good 15 seconds after the end of the game before he hit the first guy.

 

Kinnear??? I remember him kicking a ball out of frustration at Herculez Gomez during the playoffs in '05. That was class-less.

Herc responded w/ "See you in Houston".

 

Re: Yallop Apologizes for Player's "Extreme Violent Conduct"

Excuse? Hell no, but Sala's rampage establishes the baseline for what a 6 game suspension looks like. It was A, premeditated, B, involving multiple punches, C included 1 attack from behind and on attack on a guy who was trying to calm him down, D, knocked said guy trying to calm him down clean off his feet, and E, was was not in response to violent behavior by the rapids. Btw, Petke only received a fine for his flying knee btw.

 

Hey, hes a competitor.

But when hes calm he does not approve or excuse bad behavior by his team.

 

Re: Yallop Apologizes for Player's "Extreme Violent Conduct"

Hey, your asking what Clark's punishment should be. I just showed you what a 6 game suspension looks like. I know you dont want to talk about Sala's bad behavior, but it establishes the precedent for a 6 game suspension. If you say he deserves longer, fine. But that means that you have to either a) say what Clark did was worse (which frankly I dont think it was) or b) argue that Sala's suspension was too light and the precedent should be changed..

 

Re: Yallop Apologizes for Player's "Extreme Violent Conduct"

Like I said before, Clark's kicking was a lot worse than Sala's punching.

Thus, Clark deserves a longer suspension.

 

Re: Yallop Apologizes for Player's "Extreme Violent Conduct"

That was from the 2005 season, and involved a ref. Sala's was between players, and more recent. Try again.

 

Re: Yallop Apologizes for Player's "Extreme Violent Conduct"

And Ive beaten to death in other threads why I think Clark's kicking isn't that bad, and the Clark's kick doesnt even come close to comparing to the length of Sala's rampage. See the kick clark out of MLS thread in general.

 

Re: Yallop Apologizes for Player's "Extreme Violent Conduct"

First, you cant compare an incident involving a ref to one not involving a ref. Players know to never, ever touch a ref. Refs dont kick them, refs dont knee them in the back, they dont throw punches, elbows trip, or have any other real physical contact with players. And if you do so much as touch a ref in any sport, the precedent is set to recieve a long, long suspension.

How about Danny Dichio BITING another player? Maybe not worse, but he got 1 game for that.

 

Re: Yallop Apologizes for Player's "Extreme Violent Conduct"

There is no excuse to bite. EVER. Seriously, just none.

An FYP.
