Shinty Referees Call Special Meeting | |
02 August 2012 Shinty referees have called a special meeting which will take place in Fort William on Sunday 12 August 2012 and which could have ramifications for the game. The meeting will include a discussion on the recent disciplinary case involving Matt Rippon who was sent off by referee Innes Wood when playing for Oban Camanachd against Lochaber in the Balliemore Cup on Saturday 26 May 2012. Rippon’s red card and his conduct after the final whistle led to Oban Camanachd suspending him until March 2013. However a recent Camanachd Association Disciplinary hearing served a suspension from all shinty until March 2014. What happens next could rest on how strongly the majority of referees feel about how this case was dealt with. |
