Ex Player Alex Rodriguez Gorrin

[sideshowrob]

I am pretty sure we have never had an appeal upheld before. I am shocked and staggered by this sudden outbrake of common sense. Long may it continue!

 

[ZeroTheHero]

He really got away with this, because I don't think anyone would have blinked at a yellow - which would have been a red and thus a one game ban. As it it - no ban at al!

The wanky reaction from the Lincoln players got him sent off

Hopefully we can learn a bit of that ourselves. We were good at that under Appleton, as I’m sure Lincoln will be.

I think they were going for the second yellow, which would have been deserved, I don't think even they thought it would be straight red,

 

[BigCrompy]

Well knock me over with a feather, they rescinded his red card!

Absolutely, utterly flabbergasted… Although, as a payoff I’m expecting that’s all our good luck at the FA used up for the next 35 years.

Surprised butvery pleased. Ok, who had the phone camera footage that swung it ?.

Yeah in an unsurprising move, the FA still end up with the wrong decision. But suits us at least. ?‍

Atkinson is clearly good - what he needs is more experience at this level and that comes with game time.

Spot on, I couldn’t believe it wasn’t downgraded to a second yellow.

me too. maybe thats just not an option?

 

[ZeroTheHero]

Yes, I thought that's what would happen and so did KR, as in his post match interview when he talked about it he said that if it was downgraded he would just miss the Watford game (for being sent off for two yellows).

But according to some on here (who were obviously correct) - the choice is 'it was a red card' or 'it wasn't a red card', there is no discrimination for them to downgrade it to a yellow. Thankfully!

It seems so, strange one that.

Exactly, patience is required with younger or inexperienced players . Look forward to seeing our younger boys coming on this season.

 

[ljs]

The ref wrong to show a red card as the tackle was not dangerous or last man. Shows how bad the ref was. Still we were just as poor as a team.

Last man is not even a thing.

He reminds me a lot of Rob Dickie when he arrived and needs patience.

because that is not an option. all they can say is the ref made a mistake (either through new evidence or through proof of a mistake in law) and remove that action. They can't change that action to another action.

 

[Leysboy]

The correct decision for a change. Well done to the panel. Common sense prevails.

Indeed. But he already had a yellow. So presumably after the removal of the red, he still has a yellow?

Yes
