Town To Appeal Douglas Red Card

[leefer]

The only good news...he will be back v Leeds.

I said at the time we should take our punishment as they always increase it if it is not overturned and unless it is mistaken identity then it is very rarely turned over. 4 games without Douglas does not bare thinking about.

[RedRag]

it was ONE footed and the ref was quoted as referring to a TWO footed tackle afterwards

Dougie's foot was on the ground. 

not sure whether Douglas got to the ball first or whether the Milwall player flicked it away just before - IF it was late at all, it was very marginal. 


Yellow max - can't see how a red could have been awarded except by a mistake by the ref.

in effect the Milwall no 26 and his friends sent Dougie off and the FA reckons a further punishment is required for appealing.

yeah, sure

Isnt Pedo Bates on these kind of panels?

[Rich Pullen]

We were never going to win the appeal, clubs rarely do - whether that's right or wrong is up for debate... We've lost Douglas for another game which is a bit foolish.

Good news for Timlin and Easton though.

Good job the game isn't a league one though and now someone else has to stand up and be counted - better for that to happen when we have some confidence than in a bad run I suppose.

It's not the fact we lost the appeal that pisses me off though. It's the fact that we supposidly "abused" the process. Total joke.

This would be an ideal time for Pook to step up to the plate

(If he was still here)

Something else that annoys me - Richard Keogh's attempt to end Wes Hoolahan's career at the end of Carlisle v Norwich on Saturday was far worse than what either Douglas or Frampton did.  However because the referee saw it and chose to book him, there's nothing the FA will do about it.  As a result, it's worth one fifth of a one match ban whilst Douglas sits out the next month.
