Yorkie Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 The whole incident, from Remy's point of view, was a mixture between harsh (a booking each would've sufficed) and moronic on his part (gave the ref every opportunity to send him off). I laughed my tits off at Johnson's reaction at the time - cos it was so obviously feigned - but when Remy's red came out I did wonder if the guy's theatrics influenced the decision. The whole thing was just pitiful really. Stupid behaviour from the players leaving the ref with a couple of difficult options, even if his final decision was a bit scatter-gun and reckless itself. To think both guys went after what was nowt more than an innocuous playground "it was him!" bitch-fight is a bit daft. Won't get rescinded like, not a chance. Johnson's has more of a chance cos it wasn't him who lunged, but they'll probably both remain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordiesteve710 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Unfortunately the FA will say Remy was being aggressive toward another player, same for Johnson. It's nonsense but i bet they hide behind it. I'm not sure of the exact terms in the current laws but 'adopting an aggressive stance' is a booking and not a red card. The reason he sent off Remy is because he thought he struck the opponent with his head, and I don't think he did that at all. I've no idea why Johnson was given the straight red but if they conclude he has simulated the head-butt, then that's two bookable offences in the incident. I only saw the game online so the picture quality wasn't great but did Remy actually make a forward motion with his head, or was it all just part of squaring up? It was just squaring up, but the pushes of each other before didn't help. Johnson falling away as if he'd been headbutted when they did square up was cheating, and he's done that before. I cant see them clearing either, there's enough for the FA to make the cards stand. I think yellow for both would have been enough but it's about opinions i suppose. This. TBF a yellow each and both grounded for a week with no tv or pocket money would have been spot on, unfortunately Johnson's fuckwittery ensured that wasn't going to happen. Would be amazed if it gets rescinded, as FA back their refs to the hilt. Also, they did both shove each other in the chest which is far from clever. Glad we've appealed though just out of spite as if not it could well have been interpreted as an admission of guilt and helped Johnson get off which would be a travesty for him to play whilst Loic sits out February.

alexf Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 That Dermot Gallagher was just on sky saying why it would always be a red. I'm sure those wankers on the fa panel will have the same mindset. 3 fucking games out just for that . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Wouldn't be shocked if the fa threw on an extra game tbh I think that outcome is more likely than it being rescinded, like. In what circumstances can that actually happen? It has happened before, hasn't it? Is it simply a case of how much the appealing club is taking the piss?

Yorkie Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I know man, I was asking whether or not they've ever increased a suspension. Won't get rescinded like, not a chance.

Thomson Mouse Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Why are my mackem friends frothing at the gash and telling me he spat on a player too? Just another lie from RTG which has been repeated until its fact I'm guessing. Just even reading that on the Sunderland thread. Didn't see anything like that are there any pics floating around?

Spat on the player and viciously stomped on his head. Johnson nearly drowned as a result. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karjala Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Appeal is unlikely to be held before the derby I presume, or we might as well have waited until 4pm tomorrow to lodge it... Or do you have to appeal within a certain number of hours after the sending off? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benwell Lad Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Sadly it aint gonna happen. They would never set a precedent and make a rod for their backs in the future when it's much easier just to uphold the referee's decision whether it was right or not.

Cronky Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Remy's defence would be that although he planted his head on Johnson's, it wasn't actually a butt. I can't imagine the FA will set a precedent by saying that's okay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
