Norfolk Mustard 94 Posted January 22, 2017 Incredible the Wolves keeper took to Twitter to dig the deep hole he was already in even deeper...Thought Paul Lambert would''ve pre-empted that. Hope the player gets an extended ban now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,297 Posted January 22, 2017 I always look at a penalty award and look at it had that been given against us, to be honest both penalties were right to be given, Pinto had his hand on the player that''s all it takes to "fall over" and Wes nicked the ball away and "fell over the keepers outstretched leg" no arguing in the current laws of the game both penalties.His reaction was cretinous, stupid and he let his side down, rather than being an arse he should be apologising to his players and manager!Total knob.

morty 0 Posted January 22, 2017 The one against Pinto was pretty soft.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B372JamnC5A Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,297 Posted January 22, 2017 I believe they were both pretty soft Morty, but won''t argue either being given, but yep when a player hits the box they are looking for that touch, hell some players preemptively start to fall knowing a touch will come, a certain former little Liverpool striker or Leicester striker must train in the art during the week!

Indy 3,297 Posted January 22, 2017 That aside their keeper is certainly a first class knob! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,218 Posted January 22, 2017 Both were soft indeed but at least the ref was consistent in giving both. By the letter of the law they were correct to be awarded. The red was definitely for the reaction and push on Wes. Most a keeper would get in that situation, given the ball was going away from goal, would have been a yellow for the original foul.

canarydan23 4,060 Posted January 23, 2017 I didn''t think they had the power to retrospectively downgrade cards. To overturn a red you have to either show it was a case of mistaken identity or that the referee had seen something that wasn''t there, like when Harte for Reading grabbed his leg and rolled on the floor when Holt jumped in but landed about two feet away from him.In that instance, had Holt even made the slightest of contacts, even if it was so mere that it would not have caused any damage, the red card would still have been upheld.Likewise with this, Ikeme did push Hoolahan, an offence has been committed, it''s therefore left to the referee to decide the severity of punishment and it doesn''t matter what the appeals panel conclude, I don''t think it is in their remit to overturn it.They really need to bring back that rule where frivolous appeals result in an extended ban. Derby and Wolves have now instigated utterly pathetic appeals and why not? With nothing to lose they may as well waste everyone''s time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woodman 92 Posted January 23, 2017 Yes, they cannot downgrade, and thanks for the confirmation re the grounds under which they can appeal. Perhaps they''ve received the ref''s report and it says he pushed him in the face and they''re saying it was to the chest. I hope the frivolous rule still applies.

Icecream Snow 761 Posted January 24, 2017 [quote user="Northluck C."]If his ban was reduced in length why wasn''t Brady''s?[/quote]Their argument was that a push to the chest, according to FA rules, is only worth a yellow card.Having said that, I think the referee would have completely lost control of the game if it wasn''t a straight red.
