Good news. But, 1. It doesn't change the result, and 2. Explain how a penalty can be given for an off the ball incident.
Right decision. Out of interest, what is the process for rescinding a red card? Does the FA/PL look at the evidence and decide, or does it go back to the ref to review?
A bit controversial this but I have sympathy for the Referee's assistant- I thought Herd had stamped on Olsen and said to by mate at the time that he was going to be sent off. From where I sat Trinity Block B3 it seemed obvious before the free kick that Olsen was winding Herd up and I could not understand why the ref's assistant had not seen Olsen push Herd away (a definate case of arms raised) to the point it looked like a punch to the shoulder. As the free kick came over it appeared that Olsen was going for a penalty by making it look as though Herd had dragged him to the ground- it then appeared as though Herd stamped ( OK I expect none of you to call me as a witness for the defence). From the camera view it did look as though Herd was trying to get his foot away from Olsens arm- however from the Trinity it looked like a stamp- two views, two different interpretations.
Herds appeal was successful,but Alan Hutton was very lucky not to be sent off,now that Shane Long is off for nearly six weeks due to a knee injury ,I am sure he is very happy with himself .Villas back four troglodites kicked him off the pitch,I hope someone breaks Alans legs if there is a God,what goes around comes around .
Quote from: taylorsworkrate on October 25, 2011, 01:36:50 PMA bit of good news though hardly a huge consolation.Get him in at right back.He was having a good game in midfield, so I'd leave him there. If AM does decide to replace Huttom at RB I think it should be for Carlos.
