The case was first considered by the Football Association’s prosecution committee before the disciplinary committee took over. It was in the last instance that the penalty was determined.

Norwegian Football Association wrote on its website that the penalty will be awarded in the next two league games. This means that he will play the cup final against Molde next Sunday.

In justifying the penalty, the football association wrote:

According to the reaction rules, the disciplinary committee may, after receiving a warning from the prosecution committee, handle cases of misconduct committed in connection with the match without resulting in expulsion. Only violations that would normally result in a quarantine of at least two matches may be followed up on this basis.

According to the guidelines for disciplinary cases, section 12, the following are specifically included in this provision:

A situation that was not seen by the judge and therefore not tried

2. A complex or confusing situation that contains actions that the judge has not seen.

Conclusion

The verdict posted on the NFF website stated:

– The disciplinary committee believes that TV images clearly show that Ulrik Saltnes put his knee behind Viking’s Kevin Kabran. Based on the information obtained by the prosecution committee from the match referee team, it has been confirmed that the referee team did not see the related incident/episode. Like the Prosecutor’s Council, the disciplinary committee found that the evidence in the case, including the specially presented video images, proved that Saltnes committed the act knowingly or intentionally. Accordingly, the disciplinary committee has concluded that Saltnes has acted in such a way that she should be sanctioned for the incident, which would normally result in expulsion if a judge saw her.

The disciplinary committee has concluded that Saltnes has acted in such a way that he should be sanctioned for the incident, which would normally result in expulsion if a judge sees it.

They agreed with the prosecution committee who believed that the act should be considered “violent behavior”.

discussed

TV pictures of the Saltnes situation are often discussed after Sunday’s big game at the Eliteserien. Captain Glimt put his knee hard behind Kevin Kabran after being pulled to the ground by the Swedish Vikings’ wing.

Glimt are currently at 0-2, which is also the final result of the game.

– It’s not necessary from me, because I was annoyed he held me. I thought he had to keep the ball, but he didn’t, so it wasn’t necessary. But if we’re going to get through all of these situations, then there’s a lot more to take in, Saltnes told Discovery.

Glimt coach Kjetil Knutsen thought the referee made the list too high in the match, and the incident with Saltnes was one of many.

– If you talk about this being quarantined, then I laugh to death. I don’t think so, said Knutsen, who wasn’t afraid of the repercussions.
