Eds, am I missing something with the appeal? I know it's done and dusted now but I'm wondering on the decision behind the appeal, apparently we wasn't appealing the red card itself but appealing the amount of games stating it was excessive? Surely if we're not appealing the straight red, which automatically carries a three game ban, how can we appeal the length of the ban with that being the standard penalty? Just seems a complete waste of time?

{Ed001's Note - seemed it to me too.}

Basically trying to look as though they are doing something knowing full well nothing would change.

I agree Ron, it does make them look like they're doing something but surely wasn't worth the risk of them adding another one or two games to the ban which could have happened.

It was just a smoke screen to look like we were actually doing something sensible whereas in the real scheme of things, it was a nothing-burger. Had us all tuning in, tho.

Has an extra game ever been added on after an appeal? I recal many appeals, but don't ever remember the ban being lengthened.

{Ed001's Note - yes, which is why there are so few appeals.}
