Barnes appeal unsuccessful - sake.

[SeagullSongs]

The FA have definitely got something against us... Confirmed by @OfficialBHAFC on twitter a minute ago.

Rubbish

Well he did stamp on there players leg?

 

[Gritt23]

Not at all surprised.

Good news is that the ban stands at 3 games, so the appeal must not have been considered frivolous.

I was hoping they'd increase it to 4 games

 

[tedebear]

Shouldn't it have been an appeal for McCann to get a ban too?

This. Whatever happened before, in my opinion he deliberately came down on McCann's leg.

Well it could be argued that this was after surviving a career ending tackle

He was jumping to avoid a tackle which looked like the sort of tackle which could break a leg. In no way was it a deliberate stamp.

OR. MAYBE... He stamped on the guys leg and that's a redcard?

this, think there are a lot of albion tinted specs on! but everyone entitled to their opinion

If it was intentional I 100% agree, although I don't think it was, and that he was merely avoiding a two-footed challenge, and then was pushed back to the ground as he tried to get up...

 

[Storer 68]

do we get an increase on the £15k fine for failing to control our players AGAIN ?

 

[pasty]

OR. MAYBE... He stamped on the guys leg and that's a redcard?

OR. MAYBE... He jumped out of the way of an incoming reckless challenge that may well have resulted in a career threatening injury and accidentally caught McCanns leg when he came down?

 

[Storer 68]

If it was intentional I 100% agree, although I don't think it was, and that he was merely avoiding a two-footed challenge, and then was pushed back to the ground as he tried to get up...

intent is irrelevant here. The fact that the challenge was considered dangerous is enough

 

[Beach Hut]

So are both players out till after the Southampton game then ?

We will be light in defence however El Bad is back

 

[Scoffers]

What a surprise that is. Not.
