Red Card Appeal

Interesting appeal. I don't see how we can win (even though the Sun implied it was harsh!). After all, according to the letter of the law he raised his hands so deserved to go.

If this is about Freddy being available tonight, then I think it's a bit misguided - we need him for league more than we do cup matches.

Exactly my thoughts, we need him far more in the league than in a cup we're not going to get too far in.
Particularly I'm thinking our appeal will not get very far what with Tilly saying he thought Eastwood had to go if he raised his hands.

We just look stoopid appealing this. It was a clear cut red and we just have to move on.

If we get away with this appeal, we could make a killing hiring the same lawyer out to Saddam Hussein.

Very good point. We will never win this appeal and it sounds like Goater will start tonight anyway. If Freddy is on the bench it will be madness.
 
I'm pretty certain its to give Tilly time to get a loan signing in, and to get the Goat more match fit....there is no way we can win the appeal and I doubt Tilly has appealed just to get him on the pitch tonight.

The voice of reason.
 
Is the thinking that they could get the 3 match ban reduced to a single game if the offence was downgraded from Violent Conduct.

I'm not a walking Laws of the Game (rule)book & so wouldn't know the ins & outs!

Sounds like a case for Bob Massingbird, the finest mind in English legal history.

Massingbird's most famous case, was the case of the bloody knife. A man was found next to a murdured body, he had the knife in his hand, thirteen witnesses had seen him stab the victim, when the police arrived he said, "I'm glad I killed the *******."  Massingbird not only got him off, but he got him knighted in the New Year's Honours list, and the relatives of the victim had to pay to have the blood washed out of his jacket.
