Appeal

[Gtleighsr3]

they will dock us 100 points for asking

[QPRDave]

No, it wasn't a pen watch it back

[Stanley]

By overturning it the FA would effectively be admitting it should never have been a pen

Exactly. I can't see why this would be so unlikely. It's certainly not unprecedented. The FA have never denied that ref's never get some decisions wrong due to human error.

The point is that there is contact between the players. Derry touched Young so they won't overturn it.

Give me 2mins with ashley young, right now I feel like opening him up faster than chicken cottage on tooting broadway

[Gtleighsr3]

if that lino has another job, we should appeal the game under third party rule. Hehe

[rickyranger]

The offside comes first hence the card has to be overturned. The offside makes everything that goes afterwards a non event.

They will be to embarrassed not to over turn it anyway awful decision.

But he touched,... and that's all it was, but he touched him with his hand on the blindside from the ref, the ref ain't allowed to give a foul by guess work which if that's what he gave the pen for it was.
Imo he gave that pen because he thought it was a trip

It's a contact sport. Just because he touched him doesn't automatically make it a foul. Player contact happens all over the pitch. That doesn't make it a foul everytime there's contact. And anyway by the letter of the law it's a yellow for Young for simulation. And by the letter of the law it was offside before the Young dive.

Yeah I agree.. it's s.hit how the game is changing into a non-contact sport, but unfortunately that's the way I believe the FA will see the incident - though I'd love to be proved wrong.

But it wasn't a penalty there is no letter of the law to apply

Letter of the law was the ball should have not been even in play. If we apply the true letter of the law for the penalty then Young should have been booked for diving.

I agree that it should not have been a penalty and the ball should not have been in play at the time of the penalty. However, because there was no flag the ball was still active and so when he did award the penalty for a foul it had to be a red card.

I would love it for the FA to overturn the red card and award ashley young a yellow but I just can't see it happening

[QPRDave]

But it was a dive there legs didn't tangle

[MYU]

If that doesn't get overturned it's got to be blatant corruption,if the lino had flagged correctly the "foul" wouldn't have happened, but of course even Stevie Wonder can see that's a dive as well

Have to agree with the "blatant corruption".

Young should have got a card for diving.

What frightens me mate is it all just seems to get swept away, i think we need to make a huge fuss about this Tony on twitter the lot, i just can't see how an appeal would not be successful, how they can make excuses for that much incompetance, which is the 2nd major decision going against us in what...3 weeks?

Exactly... think it's time the world of football stand together and make this change happen.

The only bad thing to come out of this is that the top 4 lose out!

I think ref's should be fined if they get it wrong.
