Baggies to appeal HRK dismissal

Albion hope to overturn red card - External Link

[Dubbag]

I didn't see any malicious intent from my view over here in Dublin.....so it should be rescinded....

[holmleighchris]

Quite right too. If the league don't overturn it then the game may as well declare itself a contact free sport.

[Leicesterbaggie]

I don't think that there was any intent on his part as his eyes were constantly fixed on the flight of the ball. He is not that sort of player in any case but as to the red card being rescinded, well, I'm not so sure.

[WBA123]

I can't see it being rescinded. The way I understand it, its not just about intent. I don't think there was intent to hurt the player there but he was reckless with his arm. His recklessness endangered the other player so I just don't see it getting scratched. 3 game ban is a bit much though....

[Joy_Division]

I cant see it either. Don't know whether they can reduce the punishment or if its set in stone for a straight red.

[OptimisticBaggie]

No intent but he still copped him, hopefully they will at least reduce it to 1 match so we only lose him for Accrington.

Didn't see our centre half get clattered,bad stream,but he had to change his shirt with a bad cut.No booking. Kanu caught the bloke ,but the player got sent off holding his face and rolling about.

Decision upheld. Not surprised. Mind you, very harsh considering how Dawson was clobbered!
