3 game ban stands.

Wankers. Absolute wankers.

Was never going to be turned over.

Nice try. Just two little giveaways:

Remember 'i before e except after c'. That would have given you the correct spelling of Chief.

And Eva, the old tea leaves reader, was spelt Petulengro.

1. I understand Timmy was the journo on this

2. She is the niece of the great Eva Petulengro

Obvious case of closing ranks to avoid the publicity that would ensue.

I just can't see how anyone can challenge for a ball now in any game - outrageous decision. I am shocked that this wasn't put right.

 

[Hotchilidog]

At least we know now and can plan accordingly.

Utter bloody disgrace.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Totally unjust!

a f*cking shambles - contrast that with Bartons stamp on Kayal - We need to harness this injustice & F*CK all over Sheff Wed (twice)

I don't normally get wound up by these things, but that is a disgrace and those concerned should hang their heads in shame. Sad.

 

[glasfryn]

they could not afford to be sued....................................but should be they have been conned, the whole should hang their heads in shame including the Boro player
now lets get on with going up so we can pay those cheats back
ONWARDS AND UPWARDS

Wrongful dismissal can see why that would be rejected but excessive punishment? 3 match ban for that challenge with no intent or excessive force is embarrassing.

 

[Hugo Rune]

They were never going to overturn a wrong decision in a £170m game. We all expected this didn't we?

Time to move on.
