Hanson's quote
"The total suspension handed out to Keefe is four matches because of the distance he traveled, the very dangerous action which was unnecessary and the violent check on his opponent, causing an injury which could have been avoided."
It is therefore acknowledged that
(a) Keefe travelled distance (which to my recollection wasn't that far, but these are Hanson's words)
(b) the action was "very" dangerous
(c) unnecessary
(d) violent and
(e) caused an injury which "could" have been avoided
I believe Mr Hanson has now set a very dangerous precedent (inappropriate and inconsistent to my way of thinking) but I fully expect there to be more instances of this nature in the remainder of the season and it will be interesting to see how Mr Hanson manipulates future adjudications to those clubs in his favour.
These "Get off lightly" cards Hanson has introduced for his favoured clubs will drive many fans away from the game. First steps on a slippery slope indeed.
