And yellow cards can be changed. Remember Ben Thatcher's assault on Pedro Mendes. I'm pretty sure he was booked at the time and the FA upgraded his punishment to a ban as it was "exceptional circumstances". That's my memory of the incident anyway.Is the correct answer jim, that though is down to the FA to sort and they are about as much use as a chocolate fireguard. The rule of not being able to change a booking for an offence when the ref got it wrong and it should have been a red needs to be brought in
Correct.I kind of expected some sort of ruckus from our lot on Puncheon for leaving that awful tackle on him deliberately. If Kev was my team mate I'd have certainly let him know what I thought of his dirty tactics.

Yes mate, it was exceptional circumstances - he was a city player
Yes and the adebayor celebration was charged even though he was booked for it. These are the only two I can think of though funny that it's against us though. The Ben Thatcher one was the right call though it was disgusting what he did
Agreed, I don't like seeing it but what choice have we got when being kicked off the park?We need the whole team to react to these challenges the way Barcelona did under Guardiola when they were getting kicked to bits. Not nice to watch but now I understand why they were so quick to surround the ref and pressure him to send players off.
It is if people know what they're going to get when he's sat on the bench. He'll only have to do it a few times before they cotton on and start behaving themselves. Keane managed Ok.Yes, but for those 2 or 3 matches where he was sent off he would have accumulated a 12 match suspension! (3+4+5 matches). Not really much of a deterrent when he's banned for almost one third of the season, is it?
