Anderson appeal?

[keyser_soze]

Did I miss the news on Anderson’s appeal?

[NickDRFC]

Failed evidently given he’s not in the squad tonight.

[keyser_soze]

Yep just spotted that

[GazLaz]

Appealing against sticking the nut into someone feels frivolous.

[roversdude]

The way he ripped into 4th official I would expect a longer ban

[Dutch Uncle]

Unlikely, but theoretically possible his red was downgraded to yellow, but he was given a second yellow for actions on leaving the pitch, meaning a one game ban. If seeing the video encouraged to us to appeal maybe it wasn't clear cut? I am expecting heavy bacon showers from all those flying pigs 

[drfchound]

If the club are appealing Anderson’s red card then you would think he should be ok to play tonight pending the outcome.
By not playing tonight he has effectively served a one match ban.
Does anyone know what the ruling is on this or has the appeal already happened and failed.

[roversdude]

3 matches according to sky

[drfchound]

But has the appeal hearing taken place?

[ncRover]

Blessing in disguise

[steve@dcfd]

Yes it did and we lost it so he’s out for another two games

I know that the straight red is a three game ban but I hadn’t seen anywhere a report that we had lost the appeal.
Thanks for confirming that Steve.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Appealing that was stupid. I was watching directly what happened and Anderson clearly jerked his head at the defender as they were pressing foreheads together. Not dangerous or violent but you always get a red card for that these days.

I thought there was some kind of rule if the appeal was unsuccessful they added another one on?

Only if it's deemed a frivolous appeal.

Except of course their bloke didn't even get a Yellow

4th Official must not have been watching the play to have spotted the 2 players " at it"

Anderson is alleged to have told the 4th Official " he nutted me , I didn't nutt him" , or words to that effect. I saw the reaction of Tom to the 4th Official but couldn't hear what was said

However someone sitting much much closer told me roughly what was said

I was saying at the game tonight, it takes two players to press their heads together so how come the Chesterfield player didn’t get a yellow card as well.
Anyway, it can’t have been stupid to make the appeal as there was no extension to the ban as it wasn’t deemed to be frivolous.

Their player didn't do anything. They both pushed foreheads together, which isn't an issue. Then Anderson jerked his head at the Chesterfield player.

From the official site
Tom Anderson has been issued with further Football Association charges after it was alleged he acted in an improper manner towards a match official and the fourth official following his red card against Chesterfield on Saturday. Tom has until Thursday to respond.

He could be out longer??

He really went for the fourth on his way off - Sterry and Cliff had to wrestle him down the tunnel - I genuinely thought he might slot him he was that mad! I think he might be in bother if the fourth has reported him.

[roversdude]

Said that on Saturday that it will be 3 games plus

[RoversInSpain]

Well, it’s time Joe and Jay got the chance to show what they can do.
Despite not having to do much last night, they both did well and won a clean sheet.
Come on boys same again (baring one rush of blood) at Grimsby please.

I wonder what the fourth official said to Tom to make him so angry?

I think he thought the fourth was the person to tell the ref to send him off - I'm not sure who directed the ref as play went on 30 seconds before ref went back to give the red.

Good defenders don’t give themselves much to do.

“If I have to make a tackle, I have already made a mistake” - Maldini.

That makes no sense whatsoever.
The first sentence is nonsense.
Saw Maldini play and clearly he was a much better defender than lyricist.

Bobby Moore’s tackle on Pele was an iconic piece of defensive play. Didn’t see any mistake from Moore just a fabulously timed tackle, that’s what great defenders do against opponents who want to score goals.
And just to bring it down to Div 4 level, v Barrow, McGrath’s very late sliding tackle whereby he also won a throw in and celebrated like he’d scored a goal, there was no previous mistake, just a perfectly timed tackle when the opponent had possession.

[i_ateallthepies]

The best sliding tackler I ever saw was Stuart Robertson in the 1969 title winning side.

[ScillyRover]

Not forgetting the right back Kelly of the same era. He was brilliant at sliding in.

[roversdude]

Did we ever hear anything further on the additional charges
