5 games for farmer is about right I would say. Fox shouldn't have got anything more than the 1 automatic game, hell even lf they tacked on a second game it would have been harsh but would have slipped by without anyone raising to much noise. Todd on the way to the appeal in Sheffield according to Matt Elder. What happened to the appeal would be decided from a panel of experts throughout the world..Unless they fly them all into Sheffield !!

Might be wrong, but think that the appeals are done by the Head Ref in the UK

You could argue the intent in Fox's high stick. Farmers was just a brutal red mist deliberate action. If they don't give him at least 6 games then DOPS become a joke (assuming they aren't already) to ever player. you can argue all you like, but, proving intent is next to impossible, i suspect that's why in the NHL they don't mention intent to injure, they talk about no regard for opponents safety

The Deliberate attempt to injure penalty was dropped many years ago because of the wording and the result you would expect in a court of law.

Farmers was just deliberate.

DOPS reduce Fox ban to two games.

Given what they gave Farmer that makes sense. If they had given him 2 games to start with they wouldn't have had any reaction to deal with.

Still makes Neilsens ban look paltry, DOPS don't appear to be on the ball with punishments.
