Dave Cormack Comments On SFA Devlin Decision

Dons Director, Dave Cormack took to Twitter this evening following the many messages from Dons supporters who voiced their anger and frustration over the decision from the SFA about the Michael Devlin after losing our appeal against his sending off on Saturday against Kilmarnock.

His message revealed the evidence produced by the club which they “produced crystal clear footage of Mikey’s shirt being pulled form 3 different angles at 3 different speeds.  And no retaliatory kick!”

Whilst the club has said they would make no further comment about the decision, Dave has suggested “in the spirit of transparency, which there should be more of in football, we’ll wait to see the written explanation in the next few days.”

If he keeps his word, that spirit of transparency should see the full explanation from the SFA published for all to see, and for Aberdeen to take the SFA to task – it doesn’t make sense, it’s not right and something needs to be done about the incompetence in the refereeing and the review panel.

As it stands, Devlin will miss the Dons’ next game against St Johnstone on 15 September 2018.
