The match was on Sunday. The copy of the match would only be posted on Christmas Eve. Two holidays so how can they have received the information to make a decision today? That's a good point. Maybe Hutchins drove down himself to deliver it once he'd stopped crying?

Reading the rules, the flyers and ref should have been giving a copy of the tape after the game. I take it the referee would then have to forward this onto the review committee, how can this be done so quickly (especially over the holiday season). Who is on the committee and how quick would they be able to get together to make a decision?

Perhaps the review panel are already in Dundee. Five members The Ward Brothers or (pinkie and perkie) The cry baby , Bowen & Krantzs. In todays modern IT world its quite easy to transfer a large file or Video tape via a drop box. Thats how they can review and make a call within 48hrs. We will still beat them even if Danny is not playing,but i would as suggested earlier bring in a couple of the Kestrel lads that are not afraid to put themselves about we can kill penalties easy enough and we have arguably the best Goale in the league.

Can't imagine it would be uploaded anywhere. Physical game tapes are given to the ref to hand to the league at the end of each game are they not.
Something isn't right about this, there is no way the league could have got a copy of the game tape and have reviewed it by now over Christmas. I'd like to think our coaching staff and management are aware of the stench around this. Something just isn't right about this whole thing

i am sure its available straight away it was mentioned elsewhere the tape of the incident was used by wilson after the first period to give out the penalties, how fair the tape is makes for another question as its dundee's tape. if i was fife i would ask for a different ref for the return leg

Based on this thread, I have drawn the following conclusions; Dundee are a big club. Fife are not a big club.

Unfortunately, with the EIHL not being independant, being pally with the league constitutes a big club in EIHL terms i'm afraid Personally I don't think Fife should be in the EIHL at the present time anyway. Alot of things need to change really

No other league for us to be in and we have shown this season that we belong in this league

Just posted about this on Twitter - here's a round-up of the initial penalties from the Coventry v Cardiff debacle earlier in the season - www.eliteleague.co.uk/match-penalties--p179951Olson was given a penalty for "excessive roughness", which carried an automatic one game ban. Jason's penalty has the exact same name, but it carries for a minimum of three games. Did they re-write the rule book after the Olson carry-on? If not then I don't see how a 3-game penalty for Jason can hold any water. It wouldn't be like the Elite League to make it up as they went along of course, but surely that sets some sort of precedent? Again, if they re-wrote the rules colour me wrong, but surely food for thought.
