The club has got to appeal this
Show the appeal board the video footage that clearly shows the contact was minimal at best and show every angle that proves the ref saw everything so is 100% lying. Maybe also argue the case that it has been prejudiced by a media driven crusade and highlight worse offences that have gone unpunished
There is no way they could say it would be a 'frivalous' appeal so we'd have nothing to lose
