Douglas's tackle wasn't even a foul. Harris's tackle on the other hand...  |

i went from thinking it was a red at the time,to a debatable free kick after seeing the tv footage.
i think he'll get off and rightly so.

It will be truely shocking if the red card stands.
At first I thought it was a late tackle. After watching the replays I think its a bloody good tackle and he clearly takes the ball.

I'll be amazed if it gets repealed, the appeals system is a joke.

I thought the Millwall player flicked the ball away before Douglas tackled him. Official text - our appeal was rejected and ban upgraded to 4 games!
It's worrying who will play instead as we don't really have anyone similar. I really don't like the idea of Ferry and Timlin, the opposition will just blow them out of the way. I wonder if we could play three in the centre of defence or maybe one of Greer, Morrison, Cuthbert moving up to play in a defensive midfield role. |

Nope, Douglas gets the ball then goes through the man. I dont even think it was a foul. |

I looked at it a million times and I'm convinced Douglas doesn't get the ball. But then it didn't look like a two footed tackle and his feet were pointing down and touched the pitch before the man, so no way I can see it as being reckless. |

No joke I'm afraid.
Text in full:
"Swindon Town Football Club have failed in the appeal to overturn Jonathan Douglas' red card, with the midfielder now set to miss four games."

The appeals system is a joke. There have been a number of appeals in the Premier League against blatant red cards yet there was no increase in the ban. They might have felt the Douglas tackle was a red but there is a massive question over it so no way was the appeal taking the piss.
