Matchday 29

[Zidane98]

We're appealing the red. Surely overturned.

Should be overturned as most reasonable people would agree that a red card is a clear error in this case.

Every ref I've seen comment on it agrees it's not a red.

Careless, not reckless, mistimes his challenge but has no maliciousness or intent in his action.

 

[Sub_Zero]

0 seconds on the pitch in 11/12.

328 minutes, 1 goal and 4 assists in 15/16.

I know you're over him and all that but it's not really comparable is it?

lol rekt Zidane98

What is the current criteria for overturning a red? It used to be quite limited in that a bad decision wasnt necessarily a good enough reason to overturn.

Had to be an error in law or mistaken identity from memory. Bad judgement from the ref wasnt good enough reason.

I think it's changed but not too sure.

 

[moomba]

Looks like the appeal has been rejected so who knows?

It can also be over turned if a three game ban is deemed too severe for the foul in question.

Yeah utterly ridiculous.

Got footage?

Obviously it's a foul but he isn't jumping in and doesn't use excessive amounts of force. Really surprised that they didn't overturn the red card decision.

Definite foul and probably a yellow card, but compared to Dier, Toure and Mcclean from this weekend alone, that this was the one that was a red is laughable.

Many suspect the FA dislike us, much like Man City, due to our appeal over the name change, so they probably don't have much motivation to entertain appeals. No coincidence Man City and us have also copped fines for bogus charges.

 

[glenferry23]

It's certainly a foul and at worst a yellow card. But quite harsh that's deemed a red.

 

[Magma]

yellow card at the absolute worst. staggering that hasnt been overturned. now a relegation candidate is without a vital player for 3 games. the fa are a joke

 

[SM]

This was one of the tweets I saw in the aftermath. Unbelievable.

And this is a list of all the stonewall decisions to go against us:

 

[Cruyff14]

Clumsy, a yellow, not a red.

 

[SM]

Think the issue is that because you can say "I can see why it's given.." in the sense that yes it's a foul, yes it's clumsy etc. they're not likely to overturn it. Then again I thought that Feghouli challenge against United was also still considered a foul just not a red card offence. DBAH0 what was the explanation on that one?

 

[DBAH0]

Phil Jones is a squealer?

 

[DBAH0]

In all seriousness, I don't think the Premier League or the Ref Association actually said if it was right or wrong.

I think the consensus was that it should have been a yellow, but Mike Dean's ego got in the way of things....

I've heard that if it's only a yellow they reject the appeal as it's still a foul. At least that's what people are saying about the Huddlestone rejected appeal.

Best striker in the league rn

Behave you.

It's all in the interpretation of a "clear error" which I imagine would have been the basis of your appeal. They may deem that since it was a foul that a red card is not a "clear" error and is up to the interoperation of the referee. IMO it should be as simple as asking the voting panel to vote if the foul was clearly not a red card offense in their opinion and waive the red card if the majority agrees.

 

[SM]

I believe there are two ways it can be rescinded, a clear error, and also disproportionate punishment. In this instance surely they would deem 3 games a disproportionate punishment, as it was not dangerous play. It should be a one game ban.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

it's kinda amazing Rojo hasn't copped bans this year considering some soft reds handed out elsewhere.

Refs are probably scared of him like they are of Zlatan.
