We didn't appeal the Stephens red against Cardiff, which was described similarly by the press, so the evidence suggests we wouldn't have.

We wouldn't have. I think a red was the correct decision, but I wouldn't have been making a massive fuss if it was just a yellow.

I'd not seen that - at what moment was it taken, after the red?

But since we never win appeals for challenges far less deserving of a red (like Murphy falling over and getting a red), I would be pissed off at the injustice. More likely to have the ban extended that the red card withdrawn.

Well this is NSC.

I feel that the way he 'went for the ball' was a bit odd, like he was trying to stamp on the ball. In the position the two players and ball was in, going in like Mounie did didn't look natural, he looked like he was being a bit naughty. Had Balagon been trying to blast it, he'd have smashed his...

Not a very natural way to play the ball in that position. I think a red is probably the correct decision.

I've only seen it from one angle (from behind Mounie), and I couldn't tell whether he was going for the ball or player - from just that one angle, I'd give him the benefit of the doubt. Is there a different angle that shows he wasn't trying to play the ball?
