Samir Nabi Red Card Appeal

[portugull]

I guess a decision must be made as of yesterday. The Club need to know because if the decision is rescinded then he can be included in the squad today.
Anyone heard the outcome of the appeal?

[grockle]

I thought suspensions kicked in after 7 days in this league and lower, therefore a decision may not have been reached yet.


So he should be available today.

Thank you grockle.

If this appeal fails it will be a real injustice. The ref proved himself to be utterly incompetent and the video evidence is crystal clear. This should not have been a penalty and should not have been a sending off. The ref was a prejudiced homer, all through the match.

I thought a homer referred to a referee who was unduly influenced by the home crowd. Hardly the explanation in this case.

I have never understood it to be this, but a ref who favours the home team. And he certainly did that.

[Plainmoor78]

And why would a referee favour the home team unless under influence from home crowd or bribery?
Its just a myth put about by sore losers.

As you like, I have seen it too many times to count. I’m not saying it’s deliberate, but it happens. I’m not a sore loser, I think a draw was a fair result, but some of his decisions on Tuesday were appalling, as evidenced by the video of the game.

Everyone sees games differently and are influenced by various things with referees being no exception so not a myth just different interpretation.
