Did Lower Hutt argue that the assault was outside the football match. So that it was more an incident outside the jurisdiction of capital football? (but well inside that of the police). It does make me wonder where the boundaries of capital football's powers are. Hypothetically what would be the case if this incident had happened in the car park say 20 minutes after the game and the parties involved were not wearing any of their club's uniform?
I should point out I find this behaviour unacceptable, I am just wondering where capitall football draw the line between football incidents and incidents that are not football related.
If two central league players fight on a saturday night after "a beer or two" in the streets of wellington and they are charged by Police can they be banned by CF? It happens in professional sport.
Does anyone know the answers?
not anything to do with that.
Suspensions can be 2-8 games in the Regs, and after LH talked some bollox it was found to be middle of the road -thus 5 games. I guess the bottom line is dont mention someones physical appearance when you have an argument otherwise anything goes.
