Breaking News Jeacock appeal successful

The sending off was an odd one for me. It didn't look like it hit his arm directly from where I was sat - bounced up, hit his stomach and then touched his arm?

Also, my understanding when it comes to a 'keeper handling outside the area is that it's a red card offence if an "obvious goalscoring opportunity" has been denied. Otherwise it's a yellow card offence. Well......the referee played advantage, and Yeovil had a goalscoring opportunity which they subsequently missed. So was a goalscoring opportunity denied? What would she had done if they had scored? Would that have changed the colour of card given?

I reckon there might be grounds for an appeal there.
I said at the time I thought there were grounds for an appeal. Glad to see sense prevailed.
 
Doesn't say why the red card was rescinded? Because advantage played or covering defenders?
Not sure the "last man" thing is in play when it's a goalkeeper that has been sent off?

Question for me, and I think as per the rules, was whether he denied "an obvious goalscoring opportunity".

He didn't.
 
So the one thing the referee was supposed to have got right she got horribly wrong. It’s worse, as I said before, because I believe she went for the yellow initially and eventually got the red out having been surrounded by Yeovil players. Haven’t seen anything about any action on that? Would it have to be in her report?

Actually I didn’t comment on here about whether a red was correct. I don’t know the rules well enough- but some were adamant she had got it wrong. They were right.

I wonder if Kev will have his red for putting his hands up overturned- or was that a second yellow?
 
This is really is a new era.

I usually expect to hear the ban has been extended for frivolous appeals rather than has been successful.

Was Garry Richards the last red card we had successfully overturned?

Of course the ban doesn’t matter nearly as much as the lost points and they don’t give us any points for what they deem to be a bad decision from the referee nor do they refund spectators who had to endure a dire hour once it was 10 v 11.
