Ginola14 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 I thought Lewis-Skelly's red had no chance of being overturned but it was maybe we need to kick up more of a fuss like Arsenal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 I mean, why wouldn't we appeal? Are there any negatives to doing so these days? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 (edited) Everytime I've seen it the more sure I am they won't overturn it. It's too blatant, too forceful and too direct to the head rather than the chest or back. Can argue that the 3 game punishment is harsh and I completely agree, but those rules are already set. Gutted as he was a really important nuisance factor to help give us a sliver of hope, and whilst his form had been off like many recently I felt like he was one who was going to really step up on the day of the final and give a good show. Just so disappointed in him, mainly cus of all the players I would never have predicted he'd be naive enough to be that stupid so close to the final. Could have guessed Schar or Joelinton or something losing their head, but Gordon always felt more switched on than that. Possibly season ruining moment that, as it has ripples into everything. If he stays on there's a good chance we win the game and stay in the cup, there was a chance for us in the final and we were still pushing for top 5.

Aiston Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 May as well appeal, maybe we'll get lucky and they'll make a very dodgy decisions and rescind the red. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don't think it's blatant enough a red for any appeal to be deemed frivolous, so I'd absolutely be appealing given the circumstances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what i remember the extra game was almost automatic if the appeal got turned down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 What's the possible outcomes to an appeal? Because if it was violent conduct (I assume that's what referee classed it as), does it mean an appeal has to be no ban or upheld? Or can it be deemed a red and just be one game? I'm assuming not because a red for violent conduct is 3 games and it's either that or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

samptime29 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 I think he went to push him in the chest and caught him in the face. Letter of the law it's a red. Important how we responds when he comes back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ankles Bennett Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Having watched the incident I think the ref thought he had thrown a punch when in fact he just tried to push him off. I would have said a yellow was appropriate but van Heck made the most of it by rolling around on the ground and conned the ref. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Important how we responds when he comes back. I’m not convinced it has to be a read, although I’m not going to read the letter of the law. For one thing, he bends down and Gordon doesn’t raise his hands. He makes contact above the shoulders but it’s not a strike and it’s clearly accidental/random.

I do think the Brighton player bends down a bit and that's why Gordon catches him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general I think he's one of our better players, tries to make things happen, but his end product has been missing lately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrownBottle Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 1 hour ago, Slim said: Hmm ... I mean, these are NUFC-only stats aren't they? It isn't exactly telling much of a story. I'd expect that the first-choice left-sided forward would be second-highest scorer. Murphy and Barnes are joint-third, because they're also wide forwards.
