Berisha and Muscats fault, I thought so.

Isn't everything their fault?

“It is very hard to come to grips with the way that I have been portrayed."

This isn't your first time doing something like this though, hard to play the sweet and innocent. 

Usually it's one or the other

Thuggery or Cheating

First time I've seen both at once

If you negligently kill someone rather than deliberately kill them, you still go to jail.

How about if you attack someone's boot with your face?

Compensation would probably be limited to the damage done to the boots

Smeltz did it twice and didn't miss a match. The first nearly killed Neil Young, the second removed most of Birrighittis teeth. Thomas had a scratch

Peresic scored the equaliser in the WC semi final in very similar circumstances. He had a reckless high foot as well (remember that the charge against Roy was serious foul play - it was not violent conduct).  The charge was this because if he had arrived half a second before he would have got the ball not Thomas's head. The ball was in play and he was going for it. The fact that Thomas arrived that half a second earlier and his momentum took his head to where the ball had been doesn't mean the ball was not in play. Yes - it was serious foul play and he was reckless and not thinking about the potential harm he could do to a fellow player but the ball was in play. 

The headbutt was violent conduct - this was not. Given that the charge was the lesser charge why is the punishment that of the higher charge.

@patjennings

Haven't you got it yet? The severity of any punishment (both FFA and MRP derived) is dependant on how many bad metrics the action has resulted in.

My bad - I didn't read the memo.

Nearly every other league in the world and he would have got a three match ban at most. He is allowed to contest the ball, and yes he was a tad out in his timing, but in the circumstances ,what the fuck is he meant to do ?
