Caldo's red card withdrawn

[c0lz]

That is great news. A bit of common sense from the FA at last.

Will Caldo be holding back on tackles this Saturday

You'd hope not, especially with his psychology background - however lets give him a good reception Saturday

 

[7:18]

Thank goodness...was an awful injury, but never a red card!

definitely this..

 

[Joe Gatting's Dad]

Will the referee now be suspended for three matches - he b****y well ought to be!?

 

[TrickyOne]

result!!

 

[foul old ron]

Calde is innocent!

The ref must have admitted he made a mistake cos I can't imagine the FA did it on the video evidence.
Justice has been done.

Good news, Indigo didn't deserve to be sent off.

 

[Bold Seagull]

No he didn't, I hope he defends better on Saturday though, I still maintain it was a poor piece of defending.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

No he didn't, I hope he defends better on Saturday though, I still maintain it was a poor piece of defending.

His defending was mostly poor on Tuesday. While I'm pleased we have A fit & available full back, as opposed to none, I'm still a bit worried about Calderon's form.

I hope this doesn't block Vitalijs Maksimenko's RIGHTFUL pathway into the team. We've unearthed a gem and we're FRIGHTENED about playing him.

Hopefully not, Calde in his rightful right back position and Maksimenko at left back...

If Gus , Tanno and Charlie were still here I'm pretty sure the appeal would have failed and the ban increased to 4 games as they would have taken the tirade of abuse at the officials from all 3 into consideration.

 

[portslade seagull]

Unusual for us to win one

 

[The Oldman]

Amazed at this but delighted. If Calde was a red so was the the poor guy with a broken leg. His challenge was reckless

 

[Twinkle Toes]

It wasn't a bad decision, it was just the wrong one, it happened so quickly and without the benefit of a replay it was a tough one to call. If Calde had his leg broken we would have expected Bryon to get a red card.

Malone would have been sympathetic in his post match report and the FA would have acted accordingly. Good on the ref for supporting the appeal I say.

What an absolute load of bull. The Referee was using the rubbish new rule on challenges that are deemed to be dangerous as there's a possibilty they could to cause injury to an opponent: but he was basing it on the resulting broken leg & not the challenge by both players. He got it totally WRONG - so by definition it was a bad decision. Thankfully, he must have realised the error of his ways afterwards. Had Calde been unfortunate enough to be seriously injured and not the County lad, I hope to God that most of our supporters would be sensible enough to recognise that it was an honest 50:50 & nobody deserved a card of any colour. That said, there's always some folk in every crowd that would be baying for 'justice' - regardless of whether they'd seen the incident or not. No doubt a number of ours would be much the same.

 

[Mowgli37]

Fabulous! The FA have actually grown some balls!

 

[Brighton TID]

Said it was never a red. Excellent news that we'll have Calde available on Saturday. Also saw on twitter that Calde went to visit the Newport player in hospital. As a person he's a class act.

Absolutely this, Calde has class and I am proud he plays for us

I agree, shocking decision and changed the game. It really is irritating when these cock-up's are made. Thought the cup had our name written on it as well!
