I think we will Appeal but the real question is will we win it or not?

Unfortunately ...no chance...He did make contact with c.untchops hairline and his arm was swinging...
...Webb is untouchable...

Well as the cheating swan is up for best actor in the Oscars I'd say well worth an appeal, anyone with a brain cell and eyes can see that AC was the one assaulted and nearly choked to death and as a result of twisting round to try and get the sheep shagging **** of his back his arm brushed the top of Cheetos head, then again we are talking about the FA who know fa about football

Laudrup, fair play to him has said live on tv it was not a red card,
1 match ban imo.

No brainer for me Oz. Absolutely.

What disgusts me is the complete ignorance nowadays of the disease that is cheating and play-acting that simply goes un-punished and ignored by officialdom. Like as if it's now accepted as part of the game.

Why CAN'T a ref send someone off but also yellow card the recipient of the foul for cheating??

Well if not a red card then why any ban at all??????

they are a blight on the game.

like you, tone, i don't understand how there can't be a review system or something similar to give retrospective bans.

Totally agree. Not a red card but unless Webb backs us forget it. Ain't gonna happen>:-(

Nailed on appeal. Contact was minimal, didn't look to be intentional and there was obvious over reaction. Plus Webb couldn't have seen it completely because other players were in his line of vision so he must have relied on a linesman.

Amazing he thought he saw that incident well enough but missed deJong kicking Alonso in the chest in the World Cup final a few years back.

But as somneone else has said Webb has friends at the F A so can the appeal be won? F_uck knows.
