Not sure you can say that. They would have to wait to see sentance before they can appeal. I think.You could well be right though.

Not a red card in my view.
Don’t think we will get a successful appeal though.

It was a daft thing to do but I don't think there is enough there to warrant a red card. Yet you suspect there is just enough there for them to back the ref with his decision... As for his start, it really has been a bit of a let down hasn't it. Just wonder if he is so eager to impress and contribute that he's trying a little too hard. Maybe he just needs to calm down a little...

Nothing to loose I guess - if the appeal is successful all well and good and if it's an ban its more time for him to get fit rather then being thrown in.

Admittedly it didn't look good at the game, but having watched the highlights it is reckless at worst and certainly not a two footed lunge. Edwards slid in with his right knee on the ground and brought his left foot across to try to win the ball. His right knee upended the Rovers player and there appeared to be no contact from the left foot. It should have been a yellow card.
The reaction of the Rovers player was interesting as he remained in a prone position but looked up to watch what was going on between the referee and DE. There was no look of pain or distress on his face.
I am not saying that Rovers players are worse than anyone else or that Town players are blameless in this regard, but you just wish that professional footballers would get up after a challenge unless they have a genuine injury.

Didn’t think it was a red at the time and still don’t
Footballers and the fans are a bunch of pansies nowadays

Appeal failed
From the evidence adduced, the Members ruled that it was not a case of wrongful dismissal. Therefore, your Claim has been unsuccessful. For the avoidance of doubt David Edwards’ three (3) match suspension remains in place. ‘
Dave will now miss the games against Burton Albion (H), Peterborough (A) and Doncaster (H) following the first straight red card of his career.

No one could see that coming.......

Doesn’t matter. Judging from our past appeals through the years one of our players could be sent off for a tackle five yards away from the opposition player and the FA would uphold it.

If the appeal is considered frivolous then an extra game can be added to the ban. That's what I mean. An extra game that he wouldn't be thrown into. Rather have him back fully fit.

Think FA are keen to back referees decisions whenever possible. Cant afford to p**s them off and risk that they leave the profession. Occasionally you do see premier league referees demoted for short periods to the Championship for poor performances but lower league refs seem to get away with consistent poor performances but having said that it is only the fans view. Each game has a referees assessor present who puts a report in and that's all that counts. You can bet that as most of them are ex referees themselves they don't submit many poor reports. They all have to start somewhere and the Bristol Rovers ref was very inexperienced at this level an it really showed. To have Edwards red card overturned wouldn't have done much for his confidence.

But if he’s rubbish am I really worried about his confidence? In a word no. It wasn’t just the red card there was a lot else wrong with his performance and if the assessor doesn’t put in a fair report that’s not going to help him either.
At least it doesn’t seem as if they have added another game to the ban though.

We can say what we like about the ref at the end of the day seemed the correct decision to me especially based on what he saw, on first viewing looked out of control on second viewing ...........etc

I can’t comment on the red card as at the time I was looking at Docherty who was coming off in front of the stand. But the ref wasn’t very consistent all through and one would hope this is pointed out in the report.
Does the fact that it’s still only a three match ban mean it was a pretty close call?

No I don't think so, and they only add to it, if it is a frivolous Appeal.
