themanupstairs Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Regardless of whether you think it will be successful or not, the club is right to appeal. It was a preposterous red card. Not appealing because they know the system is ridiculous is tacitly giving that system credence. This. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I hope we have someone good to argue against the red card and not Kinnear. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
themanupstairs Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I hope we have someone good to argue against the red card and not Kinnear. Kinnear might actually work. He'll go in there and try to convince them it was Obertan and not Remy. "Just coz him dark and bald don't make him Luke Renny you racialist cunt".

Lush Vlad 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. If I was him I'd try to make some sort of argument that missing one game is enough. What and re-write the FA rule book? Missing something here? Violent Conduct is a 3 game ban is it not? As ridiculous/soft as the decision was. What are they going to downgrade it too?

I mean violent conduct isn't necesarrily 3games enforced, can be more or less. Or am I wrong? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I fear we would only have got away with this if there had been no contact between the heads. But unfortunately there was and that wanker made a meal of it, but that's all they will point to and it will be upheld When was the last time the FA did anything to benefit us anyway? It's usually the opposite, like our players always getting done on retrospective action (cabaye) or that whole Mcmanaman face last year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DebuchyAndTheBeast Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 If both us and Norwich appeal maybe we do stand a chance. Sometimes you see players only getting a yellow or just a talking to when they come together in that way. Anyhow it was still silly from Remy and I don't see it getting overturned. So we'll be playing the next 3 games without 2 of our top scorers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I was hoping we appealed straight away BUT after Pardew's comments it's stupid to appeal, the FA would just use his quotes which back the decision to give a red card Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

afar Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Wow I just saw the three games he misses, we couldn't really pick 3 worse ones to not have our leading scorer for could we. That was a very costly red card. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean violent conduct isn't necesarrily 3games enforced, can be more or less. Or am I wrong? Assuming it's a minimum same as serious foul play? Gets upped for exceptional circumstances. ie Barton committing about 2-3 red card offences in the space of 2 minutes and after already receiving a red that season. Which adds a game on (I think). I don't even know any more. The FA seem to deliberately make their rules vague and massively open to interpretation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Glad we appealed, nothing to lose really. I don't care if it's a 3 or 4 game ban at this point. Will be seriously pissed if that fat nobody gets his ban lifted and Remy's stays the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 So going off what Pardew has said, we approaching in the sense that missing the remainder of that game was enough punishment for the crime and that 3 games would be excessive. Yeah ok good luck with that one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
