Mellish Red Card

[Dobmeister]

Apologies if already answered but has the Mellish red card from Saturday been appealed?
Some suggestion in the manager's post game interview that this might be an option,

I’m as stumped as you are mate.

Was Pete Wild behind this miscarriage of justice as well or are Carlisle a bit of a dirty team with their forearm smash's n stuff which tbf I like in a team?

No chance of it being overturned,i think we would have heard from BP if they were to appeal.

Various methods of foul play permeate League Two.

There are some clubs in which a section of the home crowd routinely intimidates match officials such that those officials give crucial marginal decisions in their favour, example Northampton Town.
There are some clubs in which the club's staff on the bench routinely intimidate match officials such that those officials give crucial marginal decisions in their favour, example Walsall.
There are some clubs that are anti-football in the sense that when they are under pressure the ball is hardly ever in play, example Stevenage at BP, the ball being in play for only 41 minutes.
There are some clubs that obviously encourage foul play but spread it around thinly such that one or two players get yellow carded late in the match but they have achieved what they aspired to do.

Carlisle United are somewhat naive in that on the rare occasions that they commit any category of foul play it is immediately obvious and thus swift punishment occurs.

I'm presuming that you've been a solicitor at some point in your life Stefan as it's almost as if you was pleading your clients case 😆

Ban upheld.

[bluebry]

Ban upheld.

Ahh, but you have to remember were up against Butt, Giggs, Neville, and the other Manchester United Luvys, The BBC and all of Salford's 17 fans, we had absolutely no chance of winning any appeal.
Mind you it should make it all the more sweeter if we stuff em in the play-offs.
We will just have to hope they haven't offered the Ref with too much coin.

Whatever the rights and wrongs of the incident, Jon Mellish was an idiot.

He didn't need to provoke the incident in the first place and when he got the reaction from Watt that he wanted he couldn't do the obvious thing and go down himself. Instead he had to play the tough guy and push him back even harder.

The dangers for him now are twofold.

Firstly, if we lose in a play off semi-final, he may get the blame for costing us a promotion place.

Secondly, if we win a play off semi-final, he may discover that he has lost his place in the team.

Either way, let's hope he learns from this.
