[Albion] Should we appeal the Propper red?

[Kalimantan Gull]

Finally saw it on MOTD this morning - the challenge was a lot worse than many of you have described on here. Could have been given as a yellow, sure, but no way thats being overturned

 

[Bodian]

is that not 50/50? I would think so.

Yes - but 50/50 makes an appeal pretty pointless. I can't see it would be worth the club's time.

 

[Acker79]

I doubt it will be successful, but given it occurred on the same day Ashley Young got away with an almost identical challenge, perhaps the authorities would be inclined to overturn it (or maybe give Ashley Young a retrospective ban)

 

[luppers]

Just seen in yet again om MOD,sorry definite red

 

[raymondo]

No - waste of time

There should be no penalty applied for not having a decision overturned.

That is just the ****** at the FA being old boys club, spineless, childish, incompetent and too damn lazy to actually care about justice.

If there were no penalty for a "frivolous appeal" then every club would do it, every time. You have to have a reasonable chance of it being overturned - and there isn't in this case.

At the time from the ESL at some distance I thought red and wasn't that surprised when the red card came out, although thought it was harsh. On the replay on the concourse after I was less sure of it being red and saw it far more toward a yellow. MOTD this morning, its the fact Propper's foot is slightly higher than Hog's that raises the doubt. Challenge like that you have to protect yourself and you want players competing for 50-50 balls, but you can't afford to raise your foot or be the one slightly late. Harsh red, classic 'orange' card, no way we'll appeal it as the FA will not undermine a referee on a marginal decision like that.

Just as an aside have you seen Ashley Young’s challenge on the City forward?

 

[Wrong-Direction]

I don't. Moan if you want to - I know some people believe that if they keep moaning about decisions they don't like - even moaning for years and years - things will change. But really, you know, futile moaning is not making a stand - it's just futile moaning.

Stop moaning ffs

Yeah, red card and penalty, as Young's was probably more 2 footed and higher on a player not diving into a challenge.

 

[Pevenseagull]

If it had been the other way around and a Huddersfield player wasn't given a red there would be dozens of posts on here slating the ref.

....and they would be wrong/ right.

It was a pink.


But that's not an option

I agree. But how many red cards are dished out each week? Is is beyond the wit of the FA put a process in place?

Agree with Chris that it was a 50/50 one - some refs would give it, others wouldn't. It did seem harsh but no point in appealing as not a snowball's chance in hell that it would be overturned.

 

[perseus]

Video evidence from a different angle won't even sway it?

 

[The Birdman]

After seeing more tackles today Arsenal match I think poor old Dave has been hard done by.

 

[Questions]

It’s seems unfair in my opinion that Propper will receive the same punishment as that Watford player who tried to end Knocky’s career.

 

[BensGrandad]

Over the weekend there has been many tackles as bad or worse that didnt get a red card but as they say 2 wrongs do not make a right.

 

[LamieRobertson]

When’s the deadline for an appeal if they so wish
