Cheers mate . Looked harsh but if they have accepted its a foul and he's the last man back and the fa have refused to overturn the card then how can they reduce the ban ?

[Impey0711]

Him and Gary Caldwell out 2 defenders and I believe they have a few injurys hopefully this may be our 1st win

[Impey0711]

Ummm similar sort of decision. Against us at man utd with Shaun derry

Yep. Was that appeal flatly turned down or was it reduced ? Think I killed a few brain cells last night :(

[Impey0711]

Yeah that was reduced to 1

Why would it have been 3 match ban? surely 1
match as not violent or dangerous play.

[Impey0711]

I always thought a straight red was 3 matches a double yellow is 1

[knocker]

Just read the article. Never was a 3 match ban.

That's what I thought too . Must admit the card/bans situation always throws me out

[knocker]

3 match ban only for violent or dangerous play. and it was neither .
