Alliadiere Red card overturned.

[Xeck]

Yes but Adebayors dive was ridiculous. If he's gonna dive make sure its somewhat believeable.

Wonder if Italy need another person to dive for them in the Olympics.


Alliadiere should have been sent off but Mascherano should have to. Did the same thing, really.

[Andeeh]

The extra game ban shouldn't have been given.
Obviously it was thought that there was some unfairness as it was provoked by Mascherano's squeeze of his face. Both should have got red cards.

The FA thought it was petty for them to come and just sent them packing meaning the extra game he missed was against Arsenal.

I think Ref dint see Mascherano

Failed appeals = One more game ban

That's what I thought.

Yea i think so but the Fa qutoted as saying it was "Frevilous" so it ment it was petty.

I wasn't sure but I'll take your word for it as you seem quite knowledgeable. Although I remember us having a few appeals turned down without any further match. Maybe it is only in some circumstances?
I know if they didn't do that every red card would probably be appealed.

Mmm i think that he got that extra ban because his appeal was ''Frevilous''.

It isn't 'turn down = extra game ban', atleast i don't think it is.

EDIT: Just looked it up and this is from BBC Sport:
Middlesbrough have accused the Football Association of double standards after losing their appeal against Jeremie Aliadiere's red card at Liverpool.
The FA deemed Boro's appeal "frivolous" and added an extra game's suspension to the striker's initial three-match ban.

So it was because it was frivoulous.

[Andeeh]

Yea they cant do it to every worthy appeal.

He should face consequences if hes gonna do it right infront of ref at least mascherano had sence not to do it under his face.

[Muniflex]

But surely the FA saw what mascherrano did when they watched the tape back. Can they not give him a 1 match ban?

No cause the game has finished.

Say if the ball went over the line and ref didnet count it they dont give them the goal if they saw replay
