I would file that appeal under 'pissing about'.

Frivolous

Surprise surprise

That's a cilly thing to say.

How has anyone at Bournemouth thought "we should appeal that"

It's a clear red. Nobody died, he didn't kill anyone, but it's still an obvious red card. It's a bad tackle. Red. End of story

Edit: based on screenshots I was very wrong

Zabarny has both feet off the ground, he connects half way up the shin of Wolves player's standing leg. The Wolves player is lucky not to come away with a broken leg. That's a red all day long.

But but but... he went over the ball! That means his foot can't have been that high... Err... It's not fair! VAR CHEATS

I'm very surprised it wasn't overturned.

A very similar tackle and set of circumstances as this Calvert Lewin one which was also recommended by VAR, only to be overturned on appeal.

I'm pleased, but the whole system is so inconsistent.

DCL isn't off the ground.

 

[Johnny RoastBeef]

DCL isn't off the ground.

Must be why Souness got away with this.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

No, he’s currently suspended so stays suspended until the decision to rescind the red card is made.

Three match suspension stands.

 

[Hiheidi]

Three match suspension stands.

So, out today and against Wolves in the FA Cup and against Tottenham.

 

[Beanstalk]

DCL isn't off the ground.

This. DCL's is not reckless in the same manner for that reason.

Force is also important. Clearly more evidence that Zabarnyi used excessive force in his challenge in comparison to the DCL one. That's the crucial factor imo.

 

[Jim in the West]

Tbh, should have got an extra match ban for a frivolous appeal - what a waste of everyone’s time.

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

For me, the magnitude of force doesn’t really come into this case. By your own admission he’s off the ground, has overstretched, not really in control of his actions and and has therefore “endangered the safety of an opponent” which all that’s needed for a red.

It's hardly a hill I'm going to die on but surely magnitude of force comes into it. Just touching someone, regardless of where it is on their body, isn't endangering their safety. Obviously this is more than a touch, but also way less than careering into someone full pelt.

Anyway, he's banned so we don't get to see the lad tonight..

 

[Randy McNob]

It’s more a case of people don’t know the laws of the game.

and AFC Bournemouth don't know the rules?
