Ex-Player Hanson appeal...

Absolutely appalling. And when our central midfield was just starting to settle.
We really have had an unlucky start to this season.
 
Bet the FA never even looked, small club so they don't give a s**t!

I don't think it's even worth appealing at our level, unless it's a case of mistaken identity. They rely on the multiple cameras at Prem/Champ level to review the incidents, and without them incidents are often debatable and in those cases they will always back the officials at the game. Whether they are right or not!
 
This was never a red card, the standard of refereeing I have seen this season has been shambolic.

The only thing I would say is Hanson showed more intent in the challenge, whether that was construed in a negative way is quite probable.

The thing we need to be smarter about as a team is to run 20 yards like their players to hound and influence the ref into a decision. It’s a said state of affairs but this is now a part of the game and as the old saying goes ‘if you can beat them, join them!’

I do wish refs would get their cards out for that. Let the captain talk to the ref (respectfully) - if anyone comes up and starts shouting at him, crowding him etc, just book them. It is gamesmanship (i.e. cheating!) and teams that don't do it suffer - and so (as you say) end up having to do the same themselves.
 
Chris Williams said to KR on IFOLLOW Interview that it's a 4 game ban, How's it that many games?
 
Wes got his reduced to 2 game ban to make matters worse for what could have been given for us
 
It's always been the same with the FA. The referee is always right...…..even when he is absolutely and obviously wrong! The rare occasion when they do overturn a red card is when the referee error is so blatantly wrong (and especially if it is on TV) even they can't turn a blind eye.
 
Nuts though. Video evidence showing one thing and they ignore it. Like showing a video of an assault in a courtroom, where you can clearly see the face and what happened, and then the jury coming back and jailing the guy being assaulted

Only red cards in the premier league get overturned. There is just no point appealing at our level

Or where the face is that of an England cricketer so he gets let off..
 
Ok i can see why appeals never worked when there was no tv evidence but we are in the21st century and every match is televised....there is NO excuse for not overturning that red card and we should take it to a civil court to get it overturned just to set a precedent .......FA are wankers
 
To be fair that was never being overturned I could see why it was given so was no obvious error. The things that spoil football are not the referees but players who make unnecessary challenges and give the referee an option. I thought it was a harsh red but nonetheless could see why it was given so was probably ok under the law. The fact that so many of us wear such yellow tinted spectacles makes the abuse of the referees and the FA so bad. Really sometime the fans and players are more embarrassing to english football than the referees.
 
Will be interesting to see whether Sunderland appeal Power's + what comes of it
