Almost definitely not. They’ve overturned it because the rags appealed. You’d need a club to request a player of another to be given a retrospective ban presumably and the answer would be ‘no. The ref and var made their decision’

This is where its all fucked up.

There seems a clear split of opinion on this with people on both sides of the fence of if this should have been a sending off or not.

They have set a mad precident where the Ref makes a call, it is reviewed by VAR and upheld and then the PL overturn the decision.

There is no method in the madness.

Are they going to pass it on to the argie dwarf for his two footed jump tackle that injured a Palace player ??

Clear & Obvious.

This is what I am getting at, surely if the Rags can successfully appeal an on field decision that is backed up by VAR, it then must open up the possibility of Palace in this instance appealing the decision not to award a red. And seek a retrospective Red card.

The PL are no longer fit for purpose (they haven't been for a long time), every week they find another way of proving their incompetenece.

Hopefully their legal team are just as incompetent :)

Well it was a rag player that was involved, so that would be the reason aspect resolved.

The powers that be have simply proved that their own system is seriously fucking flawed after hyping the benefits of VAR intervention.

Oh and the game is fucked in order to help the sinking ship , which is actually beyond help, a fault of their own making!

....a penalty awarded after the final whistle and when some players had left the pitch !!

Corruption in plain sight.

It has now been 11-12 years since Ferguson left and the abject regression of ‘this is manshester nytid’ became a never ending pattern of 1 step toward, 2 or more steps back.

The seeds were sown with the Glazer takeover, the shoots of disaster started poking through with Woodward and moyes, and have fully sprouted with the continuing scattergun over the odds player purchases, and the incessant watering by repeating the ‘istree mantra.

The final chop will be relegation, and complete demise - a fitting end and tribute to agent Omar’s project 2028 plan.

The glazers can’t sell, it’s an asset that can only be squeezed so much, and becomes less and less attractive with each passing year. Nobody would touch them with a barge pole. They will do a Rangers to survive, and they’ll get away with it

It’s not PGMOL that rescind it, it goes to a 3 man FA tribunal made up of ex players and refs, a bit like our 115 panel.

They only other time I can think of that it’s been successful was MacAllister last season, but there may have been a few others.

That's weird. I wonder why it goes to the FA and not a PL tribunal. Especially when the PL has various levels of review itself including an "independent" key incidents review panel. To interject an FA panel in the middle seems strange.

Pre-VAR rules not updated for current realities, maybe.

Also, I wonder how former referees have any idea of the refereeing guidelines being applied currently by PGMOL, or any UEFA guidelines that PGMOL (apparently since the Martinez "tackle" last week) have to comply with currently?

Or is it just PGMOL explaining whether the referee/ VAR decision was correct or not and the panel nodding wisely. In which case why are the FA involved at all, and what is the point of the KIR panel?

So many questions :)

Did you mean to type incompetence?


I'd have gone with blatant cheating myself
 
Eric tin man is there Steve coppell moment, it’s just weather he has the character walk before he is pushed,

I also think back to 1995, when we got relegated, people always said we are to big to go down at that time, especially with the money we had spent on so called big players, but as we all know all the other teams around us had been run better with better recruitment over a period of time, while we were being left behind and walking a slow blind death towards relegation,

In the middle of all of this was are new saviour Francis Lee, who although brought us forward off the pitch, it turned into total incompetence on the pitch and the managers dugout, I see similarities with Jim Ratcliffe at the swamp,

I actually think if the rags continue with the constant mismanagement on the picth then they to could wake up one season to being in a serious relegation battle as so many clubs in the leauge are starting to surpass them, just like us back in the the mid 90’s,

I like the horticultural references.
So what we’re really seeing is the personification of Japanese Knotweed in UMS.
You are Alan Titmarch and I claim my packet of seeds.
