Title: Norwich's appeal for red card dismissed Post by: Red Frog on Tuesday, February 23, 2010, 22:15:44 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/norwich/8528092.stm (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/norwich/8528092.stm)
No surprise there from the spineless wonders, but why didn't they add a game to the ban? Or is the vaguest semblance of consistency too much to ask? :doh: Title: Re: Norwich's appeal for red card dismissed Post by: [email protected] on Wednesday, February 24, 2010, 09:20:53 They must have decided that although the challenge was worthy of a red, they could see why Norwich were appealing. They only give an extra match ban if the club make a "frivolous" previous.
Title: Re: Norwich's appeal for red card dismissed Post by: Red Frog on Wednesday, February 24, 2010, 10:14:03 Don't quite understand the distinction - should it have been a red or not? I saw the challenge, and agreed with Norwich's claim. But I didn't think our appeal against Douglas's red card was any less justified...
Or am I biased?

At least Andrew Fitton's with me in thinking that it was abusive and high-handed for our claim to be punished as frivolous! Title: Re: Norwich's appeal for red card dismissed Post by: land_of_bo on Wednesday, February 24, 2010, 13:10:59 http://www.youtube.com/v/tJNe0AjNXrs&hl=en_GB&fs=1&

Oh well, it's 2 wins from 2 without Russell, hopefully a third on Saturday and he'll be nice and rested for our game at your place in a few weeks. |
