[Albion] Should we appeal the Propper red?

[nordicgod]

No , send him away with knockheart

 

[jcdenton08]

The thing is, a few minutes prior Pröpper has obviously said something to the referee after he didn’t give a throw in our way. Taylor blew his whistle, had a quiet word with him, and play carried on. But Davy had obviously lost his cool, I could tell in his body language. That rush on Adrenalin and feeling of being hard done by - for whatever reason - led to him diving into the tackle with more aggression than usual.

Still think it was a slightly harsh red. Will not get overturned because I see why the ref gave it as such.

Oh and Duffy should have definitely gone for a second yellow anyway.

 

[trueblue]

Absolutely. Trailing leg on the ground all the way. Studs up but not overly high. Yellow card.

If it was Matic or Kante, overturned. Us, no chance.

 

[Lower West Stander]

Definitely. Was 15 yards in front of me. Firm yellow in my opinion.

Yep - I must be pretty close to you. Totally agree

We have to appeal.
It was not a red
It won't be rescinded.
Because we are not a big enough club

 

[GT49er]

We have to. Otherwise the club is agreeing that it was a red.

No we don't. And no it isn't - it is the club recognising it's completely pointless, and actually risks a longer suspension.

 

[GT49er]

Yes, but you have to keep appealing these types of desicions otherwise nothing will change.

You really believe that?


Wow!

 

[Eeyore]

Just be thankful that Duffy didn't go earlier. Clearly a second bookable offence.

 

[Wrong-Direction]

Yes 50/50

Yes! If you don't highlight these things it gives the powers the be the ability to say "well no one complained, see, we are doing everything right". If you appeal, you remove that defense.

Making pointless and hopeless appeals will change nothing - except maybe the length of the ban. The red card won't be rescinded; Propper will have to sit out three matches. End of.

 

[GT49er]

I know he will. But at least we will have said "hey! This is wrong".

Wow, that'll have the powers that be quaking in their boots. The decision went against us - no point moaning about it. To the rest of the world it will look like we were being whining bad losers anyway - and frankly, the rest of the world would be right.

 

[GT49er]

Fine. If you want to roll over and let them tickle your belly, go ahead.

I don't. Moan if you want to - I know some people believe that if they keep moaning about decisions they don't like - even moaning for years and years - things will change. But really, you know, futile moaning is not making a stand - it's just futile moaning.

 

[zefarelly]

I'd say yes but for the fact it's a pointless exercise and we need him against Manure, it's a game we can and may well need a point from after today's shitshow

Spot on!

I didn’t think so

 

[aolstudios]

Not seen the incident myself but opinion seems to be that it was harsh. The games he'll miss are;

Palace (A)
Spurs (H)
Burnley (A)

It strikes me that it has to be worth the appeal, as if the extra game is given it's Man Utd and a game we might not expect anything from anyway. Worth the risk?

Nope. If it still matters by then we could do with someone who can pass the ball

 

[Uh_huh_him]

We won't be given an extra game ban. There is nothing frivolous about the appeal.

The challenge was a yellow. Nothing more than that. Shades of Mike Dean and middlesbrough.

We have to appeal. We need 3 centre mids to be available. Not appealing would be stupid.

We won't win, but we have to appeal.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Looked to me like an honest 50/50 challenge for the ball by both players. You have to go in hard for ones like that otherwise you'll get badly hurt. And the fact that no Huddersfield players, so far as I could see, had a go at Propper seems to suggest they didn't think there was anything dangerous/malicious in the challenge either.

 

[tigertim68]

What’s the point , they never overturn decision for small clubs like us

 

[nicko31]

Didn't Pritchard put the boot in with the ref?
