Kyle Walker banned for 3 CL games | appeal rejected (pg 16)

[yerwot?]

my instant reaction to the deliberate kick.....3 game ban. No "woe is me" shit from him, which makes a change from the usual "he dived" and pleading with the ref . Any reduction in the penalty would be wrong imo. He wont learn from it because he already knew, but the red mist very occasionally wins out. Which makes him a target (if they can get near him) . No-one in the squad is irreplaceable, thanks to shrewd coaching and recruitment.

Were you on the panel? What happened?

UEFA took one look at the players club and doubled the ban to 6 games.

Didn’t Wan Bissaka get a three match ban for a similar tackle? Think that was reduced to two on appeal

'nitid lodged an appeal to keep the ban at 3 games surely ?

Yeah, but he's a rag.

I wonder if they’d have reduced it to 2 if the 2nd leg wasn’t a dead rubber… which would effectively have made it a 1 game ban

It’s possible, but I think the fact it was deliberate meant it was more likely to stay at 3 games.

Obi Wank-Bissaka‘s wasn’t deliberate, he got there as soon as he could, but was just high and late.

We really have nothing to complain about, Kyle was idiotic and unfortunately the team have to go without him.
