    Indeed not only has his red card been rescinded but the Bristol City guy handed the ban.

    "Bristol City Football Club has released a statement, following news that Bailey Wright has been found guilty of simulation and banned for two games with immediate effect.


    We were hugely surprised
    by the decision of The FA overturn the red card shown to Fulham’s Aboubakar Kamara on Tuesday night, but for The FA to then compound that by suspending Bailey for two matches is extremely disappointing.

    We were notified that a charge had been brought against Bailey for “successful deception of a match official” late on Thursday and given 24 hours to provide a response – right in the crucial window of preparation for our noon kick-off with Cardiff City at Ashton Gate.

    On receiving the charge, the information provided to us was extremely limited. The club was informed that a three-person panel, comprising former players, managers and referees, had concluded based on a review of video evidence of the incident, that an act of simulation had been committed by Bailey.

    The panel is not all lip service then. Shame there is no points penalty for influencing the result of the game (assuming it may have of course).

    Agree it's good to see 2whites. Must say however, I've seen worse 'simulation' than this.
