I still haven't seen a replay so dunno if it should have been or not but it doesn't take our point away so hey ho. I guess his full blown tantrum was semi justified then.
I'm not arsed either way but I saw it that he pushed Oviedo in the face. That's a red card all day provoked or not.
Just looked on the web and it has been overturned just another reason to stop watching football - turning into a joke of a "sport"
It doesn't really affect you guys but Leeds have a pretty good reason to whinge - that'll be a big game and he's a big player for Boro.
Absolute disgrace. The ban should have been extended for wasting the panels time appealing! I remember around 10 years ago at home to Westham a Sundland player got a straight red for shoving 1of their players in the chest next to the technical area...
How the hell was that overturned!!!! This system is a joke, would Clarke-Salter get his overturned. . . .
Just another decision that clarifies to me that those in authority who run football are totally incompetent. None of these strange decisions surprise me anymore.
We had a clear view of the incident and it was definitely violent conduct - I'm gobsmacked that it’s been overturned.
Around that time , away to City, our lad (very tall) jumped to head the ball . City player ( very small) jumps late and basically his head comes up under our lads arm , which is in a natural jumping position. His eyes were purely on the ball so he wasn’t looking to elbow anyone. Sent off though and Sunderland are advised to appeal it. They did . The ban was extended for wasting time with it
Vince I think you are on about us v Chelsea - Kilbane and Graham-le-saux were running towards the touchline at the north end of the east stand and Le-saux just stuck his elbow in Kilbane's face and he went down. Kilbane got up, pushed him in the chest and got sent off. Happened right in front of me it's a good job I was in the top tier or I could of been on the pitch!
