Has anyone heard how Ox the Llama went at his hearing tonight

Apparently he had a golly good time, except for the spitting rain outside.

Stop it, I can't hack this anymore

[Johnno]

He didn’t attend but someone who was the “spitting image” of him did.

[MFKS]

Apparently he has been made to spit out 5 games

Depending on Magics FFA Cup schedule he should be back for part of NPL finals

[Johnno]

It doesn't say 5 weeks. It says it's 5 weeks if it's dealt with on the field by the ref.
i.e if the ref gave him a red card for spitting he would getan automatic 5 weeks.
The ref didn't see it or act . So now it's one players word against the other as northern have stated many times that they won't use bartv footage.
Oxborrow won't admit he did it and Magic will not drop their star player.
Case closed

Glad your not my lawyer

Would have done it pro bono

Maybe you should have been in there with Spitox though. Big precedent set now by NNSWF.

Deserved what he got. Disgraceful act. Now let's see what Magic is made of.
Everyone knows he did it . So will they wear the punishment handed down like they should or will they appeal to try and get their star player back quicker

[Alton]

I reckon they should appeal and use the vision, he clearly did not spit on the player

[MisplacedPasses]

100% agree

Keep telling yourself that 😳

So player who claimed he did must be a liar then ?.

[ForeverBlack]

Plus the witnesses. They must all be lying as well

[ForeverRed]

So they didn’t use the vision yet was found guilty, my understanding is it’s his word against another, on what grounds or evidence was he found guilty on, I’m confused on how they made a decision with out using video evidence or did they view it secretly and pretend they didn’t view it

Nail on head ForeverRed

Does anyone know if OX had any witnesses, generally happens in cases like this, he said she said, case closed.

Who cares, he did it he’s copped a suspension. Move on

[380]

If he didn't do it he sure did a very good impersonation of somebody who did. Looks pretty clear on the footage in full screen mode.

The only bizarre part of it all is this selective evidence attitude but nonetheless the footage is not a good look.

Its my understanding that your understanding is wrong, once again.

[Bremsstrahlung]

What intrigues me now is why Magic are “90% likely” to appeal.
A) he was found guilty, rightly or wrongly, based on he said/she said
B) the more “concrete” evidence of the video wasn’t used.
C) the appeal is $1000 and could result in more games
D) they can use the video. Which I don’t think will help him considering they found him guilty in the first place. And it doesn’t exactly show him not spitting in that direction.

Who knows.
Maybe he directed it at the feet of the opposition (still not a very good thing to do) but at least that’s better than “at the player”. Idk. If you’re scummy enough to spit at somebody, I feel like you get a better shot off, rather than aiming for the feet.

And there doesn’t look to be any provocation. Wasn’t the player who tripped him and certainly doesn’t appear he said anything. Seems odd to go up to somebody unsuspecting and spit on them.

Anyway. Hopefully they get it over and done with so we can focus on the football and finals race.
