  I notice that Finch isn't saying that the use of the sin bin was wrong, just that they binned the wrong guy - ridicolous!
  
  There should have been no use of the sin bin for mine. The sin bin should only be used in instances of a 1. a serious professional foul that prevents a scoring opportunity or 2. repeated less serious professional infringments.
  
  You shoudn't use the bin when the penalties are for different types of infringements, like a high shot and then an offside penalty and then a rake etc.

    Michael, I think you will find that there were earlier penalties for stripping the ball infringements by both sides and after 17 penalties already during the course of the game something needed to be done to curb the continuing penalty count, I don't feel that it was not warranted to start sending off players, no matter the discretion, because as a "at the game" spectator I was getting fed up with all the disruptions to the flow of the game by the constant barrage of penalties.

  If that was the feel at the game then fair enough, I must admit I wasn't geeting that feel at home but then, I didn't fork out hard earned to watch it.

  Stripping the ball? In the first half both teams couldn't hold onto the ball.
