Well isn't that a huge surprise. The FA or **** all are a bunch of ****ers. We all knew that before today so no change.
I can't believe Mcmanamon and Goufran got away with their challenges which were a lot worse. The standard if refereeing in our country is ruining football. The FA very rarely overturn the refs decision cause its like admitting their were wrong!
We all knew deep down this would be the outcome, the game is turning into a joke though if that is a red card however you will see that tackle every game and sometimes just a foul is given, sometimes just a yellow and unfortunately for us a red. No consistancy at all, 4-1 down as well, was there any need to punish us more? ha
The f a are making up for the Norwich game, nowt at Newcastle it's the scum refs again, and frigging cheating players, and if that had been Rooney, Lampard, Bale etc they would have won the appeal. How the hell we are going to stop up now?, Sess is the only player decent enough to keep next season we have big problems now and it is about time Graham got his finger out.
Thought it was a booking at worst,,Nothing malicious at all in the challenge, and his suds were definitely not up..Shocking decision, but sadly not surprising..
I was under the impression that there had to be "intent". I expected this outcome but as has been stated previously didnt think it was a red.
That phrase was removed by FIFA many moons ago. When they introduced referees from tin pot countries in a world cup many moons ago new guidelines issued then was that a fould is a foul is a foul. The coloured cards were to get round the language barrier - good thinking eh'.
usual bollox, it was a foul, it was possibly a yellow card if you saw it from the wrong angle but a red come on??
Nah mate ref was swayed by the Villa bench screaming in his face as he trotted over. Foul yes, yellow at most. As others no surprise little SAFC has to take the FA's bias on the chin.

Even though being a Spurs fan it's good for us he's now not playing against us, that is a f*cking joke of a decision. The FA are completely useless. It's refereeing decisions like this which then get ridiculously upheld that are ruining football. Good luck for the rest of the season except against us of course!
Not a red for me. I didn't think Gouffran's was bad either. There is a big difference between trodding on someone and going in full force to hurt someone. Typical FA.
