3 match ban

[1879Rovers]

Copps did grab him by the throat. McCormick is a complete scum lowlife who somehow got a second chance in football. Regarding copps, Heat of the moment thing and you could understand any player doing the same when you see a teammate being taunted for missing a penalty.

If that's the case he is banned for 3 games for sure. Mandeville will play behind the strikers

[drfchound]

The only thing the Plymouth fans got right on their forum is that Copps is our main man.
If he is banned he will be a massive miss for us.
A couple of pathetic posts on here about fining him and him being unprofessional, especially without any facts.

Im with you on that... probably not the best thing hes done but at least it shows he cares and pissed off that we're getting beat. Anyone whos played the game has surely done the same at some point.

[drfchound]

Maybe some "holier than thou's" would disagree.

[MrFrost]

They don't like it that we are having a go at "super Luke" 0on their forum,  saying it was the worst away following in years. 

Don't think I've ever seen Plymouth take a decent following anywhere.

Isn't the piece of shit their captain as well?  Speaks volumes about the club for me.

[Copps is Magic]

I think the character of the two men in question speaks for itself.

It's so far beyond comparison its a joke.

[drfchound]

Yes, McCormick is their captain and the likeyhood is that him and Copps will have to shake hands at the start of the return match.

[Donnyjim]

It would definitely be worth an appeal. As you said there was no physical assault. Copps was simply defending his young player from a child murdering kitson.

Football is the only profession where you kill someone (two children no less) and still keep your job. I sometimes wonder about this so called 'great game' we allegedly love.

[keith79]

Free press said it. Must be true

[drfc1951]

All i saw was Copps hand on the keepers chest not even pushing him.

[karldew]

Hand on him here...

[MrFrost]

Hand on him here...

A shame he didn't strangle him to death.

[Copps is Magic]

Shortly before.

[Padge_DRFC]

Hmm another day that's a yellow card

[PDX_Rover]

McCormick is a piece of scum who should never have played on a football pitch again after what he did. Hopefully common sense prevails here.

[Filo]

That piece of low life shit, killed two young boys while driving drunk, the bas**rd should n't be walking the streets a free man, never mind playing football. That alone shows what kind of shite he is, lesson in life obviously not learned by him

[MrFrost]

I'm surprised no one has attacked him at a match yet.  Still we can hope.

Maybe so but the justice system found him guilty of causing death by dangerous driving etc and no doubt it is the tariffs that are wrong

He was done for it and has returned to work as have many others such as Actors , other Footballers who used to play for WBA for example and butchers bakers and candlestick makers for all sorts of serious offences

It is up to us all to toughen the law to make the punishment fit the crime

[DonnyBazR0ver]

This has nothing to do with his past. Don't let that cloud your judgement.

Copps was making his point about McCormick's ungentlemanly conduct. Had the other players had not come steaming in then it wouldn't have looked as bad.

It's definitely worth an appeal, and I don't know if Copps exemplary record will count for anything, but depends whether 'hands on' is deemed to be violent.

I disagree, his actions and remorse in the past should have made him a better person. His actions today showed that he's just the same piece of shit

[bobjimwilly]

You've got to wonder how many players, never mind fans, are parents, who face McCormick each week and have to restrain themselves from saying/doing something to him. Copps has young kids, and maybe this tipped him over the edge, especially when McCormick is their captain (terrible decision by the club) and should be acting as a role model.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Morally maybe, but that won't help Copps' case.

[ballysbackin]

If you make a
Mistake at work Bally do you lose your wages?

No I would have lost my job. I was a Policeman

[les@donr]

Also Copps did play for local rival's Exeter City, so there might have been some old scores to settle.

[ballysbackin]

I have changed my mind he should have strangled the bas**rd.

[Rich_The_Conisbrough_Rover]

25th march should be fun then when McCormick is stood in the south stand end goal 👍.. ✊

[GazLaz]

Rowe will play in Copps position. He's better anyway.

[drfchound]

I doubt it will worry him Rich, he will get it every away game.
