Good. Austin is decent, and we want Leeds to lose to Watford on Saturday.

Leeds fail in appeal against Rodolph Austin red card | Football News | Sky Sports

Leeds have failed in their appeal against Rodolph Austin's sending off against Brighton on Saturday.

The 27-year-old midfielder was shown a straight red card for "striking an opponent" following a coming together with Ashley Barnes during Albion's 2-1 win at Elland Road.

The Jamaica international now faces a three-match ban, meaning he will miss this Saturday's trip to Watford, next season's Championship opener and the first round of the Capital One Cup.

United striker El-Hadji Diouf will also miss the same three games after his red card in the Brighton fixture.

Austin has made 38 appearances for Leeds, scoring four goals in his debut season in England after joining the club in the summer from Norwegian side Brann Bergen.

I thought the ban was increased for making a frivolous appeal ?

He was rattled when barns had already tackled him, and then went in hard. Didn't see any punch or strike though.

That's only when the appeal is actually frivolous. If its an appeal in good faith, the ban isn't increased, and looking at how minor the collision was, I don't think it's frivolous to appeal.
