Nasri Appeal (merged).

Re: Appeal or not? SN.
We might have a case....
If you look at it from the shot above (over the shoulder), you can clearly see that Nasri doesn't try to headbutt. He actually bumps shoulders which shakes both their heads. To the linesman, it would look like a headbutt. City need to stress that there is no forward head movement. So we have a chance....... a small chance.

Re: Appeal or not? SN.
Noticed that myself but their was forward head movement by both players.
The FA will be under pressure to ban Bassong if they throw our appeal out.
Cannot for the life of me seeing an extra week for a frivolous appeal , never happened for a pseudo liverpool snog never will but I am not sure we will appeal but we should for sure and certain.
He won't get 4 matches for this.

Even though it won't get turned over its worth the appeal to show we feel it was a shocking decision . Why do linesman get involved? Always wrong...

Re: Appeal or not? SN.
The old time players must be shaking their collective heads at this decision. The game's gone. Totally gone. What ever happened to common-sense reffing? To send a player off for nothing more than handbags will lose the game more fans that it wins and it's doing a major disservice to sport and to football.

The ref booked Bassong for the tackle and not for the coming together, which was 50/50. Therefore he couldn't argue that there should have been a yellow as that would have meant Bassong would have had to go as well. So I think it's worth a punt.

I mentioned it earlier.
Mike Doyle would never have warned the captains armband if it existed in his day.
He be in the rooms having a fag in the first minute of every game he played which wouldn't have been many at that.

Re: Appeal or not? SN.
No other choice for sure and certain they have no where else to go on this.
No doubt Norwich would have appealed his straight red as well.
