Apparently Bobby has got an 8 match ban.
No more than he deserved for that tackle although I couldn't have thought of
a better player to hit than Cowie.
Let's hope this acts as a deterrent for the whole season. Hit somebody round
the head - automativ 8 match ban.

Even the press are at it. Martyn Sadler went on at length about it in his weekly column in league express. Its the biggest load of ***I have ever read.
The gist of the article, for those who don't buy the paper, is that RL HQ***ed up by banning Goulding and fining the clubs because it brought negative publicity on what was a fine game. What were they supposed to do? Keep quiet about it?
His description of Gouldings tackle is amazing as well. He says "when Goulding stuck his arm out". Pardon me but I seem to remember him winding it up from behind his back in a deliberate attempt to knock Cowies head off.
No doubt his ban will be reduced today. Pathetic.

The whole point of banning is to serve as a deterrant.
If Goulding had known BEFORE the game that 8 match bans were going to
be handed out for high tackles - he wouldn't have hit him.

A few seasons ago, as I keep saying, it was an automatic 8 match ban for a high tackle.
Since they gave up on that scheme I doubt if any player knows what he is going to get for a deliberate foul. From Gouldings face when he walked I don't think he was expecting a two match ban.
