If Cardiff had had a player sent off in the game at The Madstad last night we would have seen a new record for the fastest overturning of a red card by the Welsh FA.

I shouldn't have joked about this. Swansea have appealed to the Welsh FA.

Swansea lost their appeal. Their fans seem to think the Welsh FA's astonishing leniency is only shown in favour of Cardiff though they can hardly claim an injustice this time. One or two whispers that Swansea expected to lose the appeal but Welsh FA hearings are usually at least a week after the offence so they were hoping the delay would at least enable Taylor to play in tonight's game.

Hopefully this is the last incident where this anomaly is an issue as it seems the jurisdiction for all disciplinary matters may be with the English FA only from next season.

"I wasn't swearing at the ref or anyone else," protested Todd afterwards. "Anyone else would have done the same - he nearly blew my ear off." Manager Mark Heard was supportive. "Players should be sent off for swearing at the ref or a player," he added after his team won the game 11-2. "But referees are supposed to use a bit of common sense."

Just think what they'd've done if they'd had a full team out...

didn't Vinnie Jones get sent off for fir a challenge at the start of the game. Game kicked off, ball bassed back and Jones flew in two footed and was sent off?

Maybe. He was also reported as having 'done' Kinkladze in the tunnel as the teams were coming out for a vital relegation 6 pointer

So is the Swansea player sent off at Forest banned for the final or not?
