The Voice - Match preview #18: Crewe Alexandra vs Bradford City Saturday 7th December 2024 12:30pm

It's not the FA/EFL who look at it, it's an independent panel of ex players. Red cards do get overturned if you can prove the referee got it clearly and obviously wrong but in this incident and the Byrne one the red card was justified so you won't win an appeal.

 

these rulings really are stupid arent they.

charged with failing to control their players, what are the club expected to do in 10 second "melee" if you can call it that.

There was no loss of control, you see more contact whilst waiting for a corner to be taken.

Nothing there caused any disrepute to the club or game

 

All very true.

 

Oh yes, I get that, however it’s they( FA) who ratify isn’t it?

The Football Association's disciplinary commission have upheld the claim of wrongful dismissal as they felt the challenge could not be deemed as violent conduct.

 

Interesting article on the T&A site about Jay Benn's hair pull for which he got booked by Ben Toner.

 

Thought it was Ben Dover

 

Seriously

GA is right re the hair pull, however also the fact that Halliday was “ given a chance “ to stake his place at RWB means he won’t play on Saturday. He was really poor for 60 mins imho. It wasn’t until he had a shot midway through the second half which seemed to give him confidence, prior he was poor at best, dreadful at worst . Something isn’t right with him?
