Did any of our players or club staff appeal at the time? Even if VAR was available, would they have been looking at the Lukaku kicks?
Of course, I guess it would have prompted Bong to appeal.
The club didn't get involved in the first place (as far as I know), and they can't appeal or "get Lukaku banned".
All they can do is ask for clarification, which is entirely reasonable.
Well, I can hardly blame you for trying it on. And you can hardly blame Palace for getting stroppy.
But I still don't believe Les Smith (County Sec) would have called it off.
