    It wasn't frivolous - he left the clown suit at home.

    That applied when the appeal was used so a player would be available to play a game before the appeal was heard <doh>

    Not surprised the ban remains the same. . 8 days no football and he's back - fair enough.

    Appeals almost never work. A waste of time unless you have a rock hard completely indisputable case. Even then half the time they done work.

    The way appeals work and referee seeing incidents is completely useless. They will always back the referee, because its what he saw and is in his report, whether that is upholding a red card or not retrospectively punishing someone for a blatant incident (elbow for example). The whole system is wrong, there is no shame in over ruling what the referee has seen, they may have made a mistake or saw something from a different angle.

    I thought it was a red card but three games is harsh so thought it would be reduced. However, the biggest joke out of all this is the FA as usual.

    Richie did the exact same thing but because he was booked he is free to pay whilst Mane is sat on the sidelines for three games.

    So have the FA admitted the referee got it wrong by booking Richie but they'll blindly back their man?

    Or are they saying it was wrong to send Mane off but they'll blindly back their man?

    Liverpool's case is different, mainly because it's Liverpool.

    Agreed. Maybe they just wanted to show support for the player especially in the light of quite a lot of the pundits - high profile - saying it shouldn't have been a red.

    And Reid didn't even get a foul given against him for kicking player in head... it's just consistency. 3 similar instances with 3 different outcomes.

    Carra said it was a red. I think his words were, eyes for the ball but out of control.

    Don't really think they're saying anything, but if they did it would the usual "we take every incident individually", it's what they always hide behind and it works....for them.

    I have to agree with Carra that's all.
