So have we formally made the appeal...enabling Nasri to play on Tuesday?

That's five separate occasions where you have quite explicitly stated that Mancini believes it was a red card.
You can debate the merits of Mancini making his comments at this time, and I agree that he should have kept his mouth shut by hiding behind the "we're appealing so can't comment" line.
But his comments are quite clear cut to me: i.e., "Nasri was stupid for jumping up and getting involved. He should have either stayed on the floor or simply walked away, and he will be disciplined for ignoring my repeated instructions not to get involved in situations like this. That said, his actions never merited a red card, and even if they did, surely the other player should have been sent off too. As such, we'll be appealing."

MaineRoadBlue said:As a Referee of many years standing it cannot be judge as SFP (Serious Foul Play) as the whistle had been blown and the game had long since stopped.
It will be assessed purely as VC (Violent Conduct)
As it was the assistant who saw it and not the referee, we might have a chance. The problem is however is the referee will be shown footage of the incident and asked the simple question 'Now you have seen the incident, what action would you have taken at the time if you had witnessed it live?'
Now our problem is that all Premier League officials are part of the PGMO and in short they will support each other to the death. Nasri's slight flick is all they need to justify saying 'It's the most violent thing they have seen on a Field of Play since Van Perdue nearly died'
Sad but true.
Why would both received yellows? Bassong didn't receive anything.<br /><br />-- Mon Dec 31, 2012 7:34 am --<br /><br />Hinchcliffe's header said:quiet_riot said:No-one but me seems to be mentioning that the 'flick' or 'butt' that Nasri's sent off for is actually just 2 sweaty heads sliding off each other!
Absolutely spot on. linesman miss-read it completely. We can only assume that both would have been yellow cards if Nasri's head hadn't slid off to the side, making it look like a 'butting attempt' to the linesman at that side.
Common sense should prevail, but you do get the feeling that any appeal is like pissing in the wind.
He also said it wasn't a red and was wrong. You forgot that again in your haste to mis-represent Mancni's comments?oakiecokie said:I`m repeating what Bobby has told the media,nothing more,nothing less.However Bobby has already said that Samir was wrong and will pay the fine.
WTF does that tell you then ? Not my words but the bossman.

Why do you think "touch" equates to a red? RVP certainly "touched" heads last week and it was fine and dandy.
You really are a big girl if you think contact now equates to a red.
