To be fair Joel was far too late on Myler to expect not to get done, myler had grounded the ball and was on the floor for about 2 seconds before Joel hit him, very very silly play

Its a farce, Joel gets charged yet Luaki for picking up the player - no charge...ok then how about punching him - no charge, its laughable

I was surprised when I read that he was let off. He's given a push and so reacts by throwing punches, yet apparently that's not worthy of a ban. Ben Cockayne did the exact same thing after being pushed by Calderwood and that's apparently worthy of 1-2 matches.

to be fair we'll smash um anyway

Quite a surprise to see Danny Tickle`s name on the offenders list--- for fighting? I`d like to see the video evidence for that.

Has Peackock and Morley got imunity from being banned? because they could miss every match of the season if charged on their offences in a game. And when they are charged and appeal, amazingley they get it reduced. And why did Wigan not appeal for Coley with a big game comming up?

its laughable that Luaki aint up this week !!

I would rather Luaki play. He's a liability both in terms of defence and discipline.

Appealing hasn't always worked out well for wigan players, not remember newton in the long face arrangement charge. He got a ban of like 8 weeks appealed and they upped it to 12 or something ridiculous.

Like i said it was a stupid flop by Joel, While i dont buy into the whole "refs hate wigan" speech we do always seem to come off very badly done to in the disciplinary, however its the old problem, if you get done speeding doing 40mph in a 30mph zone, and someone doesn't get done for doing 50mph, doesn't mean you were any more innocent, Joel deserves a ban IMO as Myler would have been relaxed and not expecting impact and Joel dropped fairly hard on his back.

Others deserves bans too, they may not get them, that's life, but if Joel hadn't done it he would have never have been there to be charged.
