How quickly can we appeal Calders red card?

[theonesmith]

I really don't see how an appeal would be successful. I don't believe for a second there was anything malicious there, and it was just a horribly unfortunate accident.

But Calde did go to absolutely smash the ball and missed, connecting with Anthony's leg with great force. If nothing else I can imagine it would be called reckless.

Calde went to kick the ball, as footballers should? The Newport County player was the one that lunged in, and when I stopped the video you can see he is off the ground with both feet at one point. For me there is only one player in that collision that should be punished. However, I don't think either should be - it was a coming together, an effort to win the ball.

If the appeal is successful will we get the match replayed as we were in total control at the time of the sending off and would have won!!

We don't want to be in the League Cup - it costs us more than it is worth to be in it, in operational costs and potential sending offs/injuries. Let's focus on the league and hope QPR etc make it to the later stages.

Agree with this, Calde stayed on his feet, Byron jumped in. The ball was travelling towards Calde and was his ball to strike.

I was the only one in my section who immediately thought Calde was in the wrong. Everyone else reacted as though the Newport guy was totally in the wrong but from my POV I thought Calde went to get stuck in and bottled it (dangerous). The Newport guy got their first and Calde looked very unhappy with himself straight after the incident.

Personally I thought their player should also have got a yellow as he was reckless with his challenge. Just because Calde bottled it doesn't make him exempt from a card - that's how some of the worst injuries happen.

It looked like a 50/50 to me, it was quick too....but usually a player who is sent off for a leg breaking tackle doesn't take the time to argue the toss with the opposition bench (they'll get off asap) . Calderon was really upset by that decision.

Good.

I think we might be saved.... my grandson thinks Oscar looks like Jesus

The ref wasn't even going to stop play until the ball went out for a throw....

Right in front of me. Never a red. He went to kick the ball. Anthony shouldn't have been in that position.
That being said, hope he recovers in full.

I feel that Newport supporters would be most upset if after having lost a player with a double break of the leg which will probably mean the man will be out for the rest of the season then find it went unpunished.

So he should be punished because the guy broke his leg, even if the challenge was a fair one ?

But the challenge wasn't a fair one. Anthony should have been sent off for a reckless two footed lunge regardless of whether he was injured or not.

Very true, my point was you can't send off Calde just because the guy got Injured

Exactly; shocking decision.
