I am doing that and, in the present, I'm really pissed off about Mike Dean and the FA.

I apologise when I saw the drivel you posted, I assumed you must be a Middlesbrough fan. As it is, you just didn't watch the game.

Don't worry. I'm pretty sure he is a Middlesbrough fan.

There are some complete morons from Boro on Twitter. The laughable thing is they think it's ridiculous we care but yet are still tweeting about it. Why? They have been promoted. We, on the other hand, face the play offs without one of our best players having faced the last half hour without our...

Pretty much all of it. Stephens was our best player on Saturday and was playing superbly up to the point he was red carded. He made a great challenge early on which was given as a free kick (he didn't fly in with studs showing). He did have an argument with Ramirez but that was mainly down to...

Boro fan presumably as this is complete rubbish

Pretty much.

But surely you understand how a decision made at 1-1 with half an hour left and two teams level on points isn't just a drop in the ocean

Exactly. I find it funny that Boro fans are coming on here and are all over the BHAFC hashtag saying get over it as well. This is our place to vent. I was hoping that knowing the FA wouldn't do the right thing would make it easier but when I heard the appeal was rejected, I was angry all over again.

No and we probably never will. They are faceless incompetents and will never be held accountable

Agree except I wouldn't even call it a tackle. He was quicker than Ramirez and got to the ball first. Ramirez's dive (when backing in to one of our players) led to the original argument between him and Stephens.

Except they are all officials. As I've said before in another thread, I think Dean is lying. As others have said, he clearly talks about the injury to our players and, if he was going to talk to the linesman, why did he have his yellow card out already? Why not wait?

Yes, it will either be appeal successful and no ban (0.01% likely), appeal rejected and ban still in place (90%) or appeal rejected and deemed frivolous so Stephens gets an extra game ban (9.99% if the FA really want to wind us up).

There's literally no point in the appeal system. The FA just back their own. Two straight red cards this season (Murphy and Stephens) and both were joke decisions which an impartial appeals process would overrule. Sadly, we don't have that.
