Alas, poor thread. We loved it. We all did.

To be honest I only did it because I wanted to be able to start an almost identical thread as this time last week.

And we are thankful for your efforts, just don't do it again, yeah? You've had your shits and giggles.

ROFLs @ the many on here who got it so badly wrong, despite having the benefit of TV replays, unlike the ref

It's a red card, baffling from the FA to not support the referee.

I can see you're easily baffled

[Silver Fox]

In future, Ref's might be hesitant to show a Reading player a red card on the grounds that we've successfully overturned the last two.

Or maybe they'll try to get decisions right at the first attempt

Don't have a go at me. Its the Refs that started it ...

Don Goodman has egg on his face!! Boom

[Terminal Boardom]

As indeed do I. I must admit to being surprised to seeinng it overturned but I am not complaining.

[URZZZZZ]

obviously im pleased with this, bet hector aint tho, would have been good for him to have a lil run of games to see what he can do

[The Real Sandhurst Royal]

Does the club have members sitting on the panel, two appeals in two weeks!!!

[The Rouge]

Is anyone apart from LoyalRoyalFan saying that is is DEFINITELY A RED having seen the replay?

[SCIAG]

I am amazed that has been rescinded. It's a big two fingers up to the referee from the FA for a decision like that.

I disagree. I think the discussion and disagreement here shows that the ref had a few seconds to make a decision that was very difficult.

With the benefit of replays us fans are split 70-30 and whilst I never thought it was a sending off I don't think there is anything for the ref to be sorry for and good on the FA for admitting that sometimes refs get things wrong in difficult situations.

The Pearce red card is another story though. That was appalling and cost us the game and the ref should face some form of reprimand.

The LOTG say fouls and misconduct decisions are made in the opinion of the referee.

Pearce, I agree with you as it wasn't an obvious goal scoring opportunity which means the referee simply got it wrong to the letter of the law. But this is different, it is a matter of opinion between the referee and the FA. The only way this has been rescinded for me is if the referee said he got it wrong in his match report or when the FA were looking into it.

The very fact that the decision was a difficult one to make and opinion is split is why they should have stuck with the referees decision.

Agree completely, the panel have messed up big time here, unless the referee has changed his own mind. It wasn't a nailed on red, but it definitely wasn't "wrong". Imagine they'll be relieved of their duties.

Gorkss gave the referee the opportunity to send him off. I think it would be best for Adkins to sit Gorkss out of the next game as a result of his stupidity, and give Hector the chance to not do something so rash.

[windermere_royal]

Maybe , and I may be clutching at straws here, the red may just have been overturned because Gorkss actually played the ball, and he never left the ground

you should take a break from this board for the very same reason

[ddetisi]

I'm going to say No.

[mikey0406]

Cilla black is on the panel.... Alas!

Anyhow, it's not the first time that Gorkss has cost us (or nearly in this case) points. The quicker Morrison gets back the better.
