    I note that nobody has picked up on his flap attack in the first half, or that worrying technique he has of letting the ball bounce off his hands rather than catch it outright.

    No worry though that 10 mins of BK means the sky is falling. Gonna be a fun couple of weeks in this thread!
    yep

    But... But.. But didn't you read the article up above? Shane is the victim..
    He knows how much it hurts, and how worse it is to be the one kicking the people in the face..


    In all seriousness though..
    If he gets let off without any form of reprimand for what he did, then it is an absolute joke..

    Tbh, I'm more worried about Peter Green. You accidentally trip a bloke and it's a free kick, you kick a player in the head and it's a drop ball? I'll be surprised if we see him for a few weeks.

    thought it was fair enough TBH but wouldn't have been too fazed if Smeltz got a week or two.

    I think the bigger issue was Biraz admitting today that Smeltz was "one my very good friends".
    Surely Jets hierarchy can come down hard on the bloke for such rash statements tainting the 'brand'.

    As usual though Miller will prob just do nothing. Toothless tiger and all that.

    Miller OUT

    Not surprised whatsoever with the verdict. I actually would've been surprised if Smeltz was asked to appear at the MRP.
    This is "Smeltzy" afterall, one of the pin-up boyz of the HAL, playing for Bling FC...Lowy's club. Sickening the way Kossie was talking about him last night on Shootout as if he was his little bumboy, Zelic comments too were disappointing to here, though not as blatantly supportive of Smeltz. Then you had Rudan tonight discussing the incident with Hill and surprise surprise being an ex-SFC player/captain...of course he is going to take Smeltzy's side and say that it was a 50-50 ball....yeah right fark off Rudes.
    My opinion of these guys has taken a nosedive after hereing how they viewed the sickening incident and the way Kossie quickly pounced on Kanta's tackle saying it was much worse than Smeltz's.....NO Kossie compare how Naumoff came off after the incident with Kanta as compared to Birraz....NO comparison. Yes, Kanta's lunge/tackle had the "potential" to be worse than Smeltz's but there is a big difference to potential to what actually happened.
    Anyway kudos to Bozza, the man at least had the balls to come out and say what was right for the game and the players welfare, not be swayed b other agendas or allegiances. He summed it up perfectly when he said that Smeltz did not show any duty of care towards his fellow player. It's times like this when you see the real characters of people. Bozza...Legend!!!

    Pretty straight forward my brother.
    I'll break the summary down to three main talking points.


    1. Decision was fair enough.

    2. Miller has done nothing.

    3. Griff remains all conquering.

    BATTERED but not broken, Jets goalkeeper Mark Birighitti hopes to play against A-League champions Melbourne Victory at Hunter Stadium on Friday night.

    Birighitti had four teeth dislodged – two of which are believed to be buried in the turf at Turton Road – and required more than 40 stitches in his mouth and lip after being kicked in the face by Sydney FC striker Shane Smeltz in a drama-charged 1-0 loss to the Sky Blues on Saturday night.

    Smeltz has been widely condemned for not pulling out of the challenge as Birighitti slid along the ground to grab a through ball.

    But the Kiwi has escaped further scrutiny after referee Peter Green confirmed on Monday that he viewed the incident and deemed it accidental.

    Birighitti had two teeth reinserted on Monday and will have further dental work on Wednesday.

    ‘‘I was worried at the start that there might be structural damage, but fortunately that is not the case,’’ said Birighitti, whose mother flew in from Perth on Monday to aid his recovery.

    ‘‘Certainly it could have been much worse.

    ‘‘My lip is swollen but I’m not in any pain which is a good sign.

    ‘‘I had a chat with the gaffer (Scott Miller) this morning and will sit down tomorrow with [goalkeeping coach] Jesse Vanstrattan and Justin Dougherty, the physio, and see where we are at.

    ‘‘I’m hoping to do modified sessions throughout the week.

    ‘‘I’m not ruling myself out for Friday night.

    ‘‘I’m keen to get back out there as soon as possible.

    ‘‘I want to do it for the players and the club itself, the club is heading in the right direction.

    ‘‘Also the reception I got from the fans coming off the field [on Saturday] was amazing.

    ‘‘Since then I have received a lot of support on social media.

    ‘‘I definitely want to give something back to them as well.’’

    Ben Kennedy replaced Birighitti against Sydney and will start in goals on Friday if the 24-year-old is not cleared.

    Under FIFA regulations, the Smeltz challenge could not be referred to the A-League Match Review Panel for investigation because it had been dealt with on field, much to the frustration of Birighitti.
    Tough as old nails

    Then your second line
    Safe to say, I've been thinking about this…

    "He plays for Sydney now, he used to play for Perth.
    His name is Shane Smeltz and he's worse than afterbirth.
    Can I come along and kick your face again?
    No way etc."

    I think nay chant we now come up with for birraz must include a reference to this incident, and be sung with a lisp.

    I agree with what most of what you wrote except for the bit comparing Kantas tackle and Smeltzs tackle

    Kantas tackle worse case scenario is old mate he attempted to hack has ACL badly broken legs/ankles and may never play again

    Smeltzs tackle worse case scenario is a kick to the head could have been fatal to Birraz

    To me Birraz got off pretty well with stitches claret missing teeth etc. Broken Jaw Cheekbones Eye Sockets could have happened easily let alone other conditions that can occur due to blows to a human head

    Reality is the potential severity of injury was far greater in Smeltzs tackle than in Kantas
