Hull City AFC Appeal Against Huddlestone Red Card

That's still a foul, his legs go into Jones not the other way around.

 

Abbreviate to '****er'

 

Best foot forward, Ernie, best foot forward ...

 

Totally agree
Appealing was absolutely the right thing...I just assumed it would stand

 

No
Although as has been explained that isn't really relevant

 

The fact we are having to appeal just illustrates really poor decisions made by officials. It's not an easy job, but they make a rod for their own back at times. The day common sense prevails is the day we won't have to go through this process, which is seemingly entirely pointless anyway.

 

This is obviously bad news, but am I the only one who thinks we might see an improvement while Huddlestone is out? It's happened before. If Silva wants us to score goals by fast paced counter attacks then this could give someone with more stamina a chance to step in and get up and down the pitch to support the striker(s).

 

What's the betting we'll have another sending off before the season is over?

 

Pound to a pinch ...

 

And a couple of penalties.

For maximum enjoyment for the refs it would ideally be a pen and red card for the same incident.

 

It's the only thing that is relevant.

 

It isn't though
I didn't think it would be rescinded, even though I didn't think it should be a red card

What's your point?

 

My point is that if you didn't think it was a red, I'm surprised you're scorning anyone who thought it should have been overturned, since if you don't think it's a red, you also think it should be overturned. The only criteria the panel needs to assess is whether or not it is a red card offence. If not, it should be rescinded. If it is, they then need to consider if the 3 game ban is appropriate for the offence. If they got to this step it should have been reduced to one game.

Neither of these happened, which is outrageous. To flippantly suggest it was never going to be overturned is a bit silly.

 

It would only appear silly if you don't understand the appeal process

I don't think it should have been a red, but I didn't think it would be overturned (in actual fact technically no red cards are overturned anyway, even if the appeal is successful)

 

Agreed, it wasn't silly to appeal.

What do you mean? When a red card gets overturned, the red card does not stay attached to the player's record surely? If you get a straight red later in the season it isn't a four game ban as you had a prior red?

 

Do you even reading what you write?

You said I was 'silly' to suggest it wouldn't get overturned. You'd understand why I thought that if you read up on it

That would also assist with your other questions...but briefly the answer is yes, the red card would still be on the players record (and the clubs)

 

It was commented before the match that this ref had not given a red all season.It was reported in such a way as it was as if he hadn't been doing his job correctly!Therefore no surprise he gave one .It wa bizarre how quickly the appeal decision was made though...or then again the panel probably were en route to a Germany for their freeloading trip.

 

I'm not sure you do. I agreed with you it would have been silly not to appeal. I don't think being certain it wouldn't be overturned and thinking it would be silly not to appeal are congruous points of view, but I'm glad to see you giving it a go.

No it wouldn't. If you have a straight red and it is overturned, you do not receive a four game ban the next time you get a straight red.

 

Yes it would still be on the players record
The appeal is only about whether the length of the suspension is appropriate or not

 

No it isn't, that's the second facet they consider. Why on earth would a red card remain on a player's record if the committee deem that the play did not commit a red card offence?

When Gibbs was sent off instead of Oxlade-Chamberlain and the red card was rescinded, it did not stay on Gibbs' record. Why would it?
