Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3528288, member: 9052"] The key piece of evidence will be the referee. If Butler believes it was directed at him, then he will be looking at time... but the extent could be up for debate, because the defence will ask him why didn't he send him off or bin him? (i.e. it's a serious allegation, but you chose at the time to not punish him accordingly... why is that) If he penalised because of the ongoing disputing of calls despite not being the captain, then it could be inferred that he didn't believe it was directed at him. Before the swearing Reece was saying 'I stopped' which could be in regards to him disputing the obstruction call... at which point Butler then marched him ten for arguing the call. Realistically it could be hard for them to charge him, because the onfield actions by the ref isn't inline with a verbal directed at him. From what I've seen I don't believe Butler was specific with Reynolds as to what Reece could be binned for "if he does it again"... was it directing a verbal at him or was it for continually arguing decisions with him... the onfield actions would suggest it is the latter. I don't believe he expanded on that and I don't recall Reynolds asking for clarification as to what "it" is. [/QUOTE]
