What would have happened if that had cost us our place in the play offs? Assume there would be no grounds to appeal the result, no matter how obvious it affected us after the sending off. Dread to think about it TBH.
Exactly. The major point here is that the ref was now confirmed as an absolute crook. Two huge decisions he got wrong and stole our record, and was just short of taking game from us. Cheat.
There also the possibility that the authorities took the blatant penalty non-decision and evened it out?
Crewe fans are absolutely rattled by this news by the way.Lovely to see.
That errant decision turned the game and could have cost us a place in the playoffs. The denied penalty compounded his failings. We deserve better referees at this level of football, there is no excuse in my opinion.

I thought the ref had a good game generally, just got a couple of decisions wrong which is part and parcel of football.The sending off looked like a sending off from the away stand and everyone around me at least had accepted it. It was only upon seeing the incident a 2nd time that alot of us realised it was not a DOGSO. That 2nd time viewing is a luxury the ref does not get at this level. Had there been VAR there's an argument to say it would of been downgraded to a Yellow, but lets no go there. VAR stinks.

Have I got this wrong or did the rule used to be that no matter if its a goalscoring opportunity or not, if the keeper handles it outside the box its a red card?
Thinking about it I’m surprised more wasn’t made of it at the time. Maybe I just missed it. There were lots of defenders around and it wasn’t going on target so it’s a good appeal
I was in the “too risky” camp despite believing the red card was incorrect.Shame for Jones, but I guess he was fully aware of the appeal.

But, none of our players constested it and McCann glossed over it also which I find weird.
