I would love to hear their reasoning behind the decision, is there anywhere they explain themselves? If not I think they should publish it somewhere and then we can see how consistent they are with decisions.

Depends why he was sent off, if it was because the ref thought he has the last man then fair enough, they've looked at the tapes and realised it was a mistake. If it was taken back just for the type of tackle it was then would see it as double standards.

The appeal was for Serious Foul Play!
Pearson would have and has lost similar appeals.
All very inconsistent.

Very true Ernest...that is the main thing.We've still got the points.
His sending off helped us on the night !
Well yes we did get the points but we all know pearsons red card would still have stood. Something corrupt in football.

Very much so like the Borough lad said Pulis has friends in high places. It's not what you know it's who you know.Well yes we did get the points but we all know pearsons red card would still have stood. Something corrupt in football.
You only have to look at the Tevez affair when West Ham were let off for Fielding an unregistered player, sending Sheff Utd into relegation from the Premiership to see how corrupt football is. Trevor Brooking is such a lovely man though, he had friends too!Very much so like the Borough lad said Pulis has friends in high places. It's not what you know it's who you know.
After all he did suck fergies dick that year we sacked darren fergie. We all know fergie had the fa round his fingerVery much so like the Borough lad said Pulis has friends in high places. It's not what you know it's who you know.

this astonishes me. if barker had not taken evasive action and allowed ayala to cause damage to his lower limbs (which would undoubtedly have happened if he hadn't skipped up in the air), not one person on this planet would have argued against a sending off. decisions should be made regardless of any resulting injury. but they are not. and this is why some players deliberately exaggerate that they are in pain following such tackles in order to convince the ref (and assessors it seems) that the tackle was a dangerous one - the classic example was when that player rolled over 4 times to get pearson sent off... then got up to play the rest of the game

Ayala would be a big miss for them and I think it would have been for 4 games as he's been banned before.We've still got the points.

It’s not what you know. It’s not who you know. It’s what you know about who you know.
