Cable Forum - Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window

Well its a matter of opinion whether there was intent or not, in my opinion there was, you can see it in his face and the way he swung his arm round. The ref agrees, the FA agrees. The reaction of Flores has nothing to do with it. As i said, a red was probably a bit harsh but its not obviously wrong, you can see why it was given, therefore it can't/shouldn't be overturned.

The reaction of Flores has everything to do with it, if he hadn't gone down like he had a broken nose when in all actuality he'd had his hair ruffled he'd have got yellow not red, plenty of ex refs interviewed have said the same.

If this is overturned it could have massive implications for the appeal system, could even be scrapped all together and as it stands that won't be a bad thing.

Equally, if the ref got the benefit of a video referee, I wouldn't have issue.

But once the decision is taken, unless it is shockingly wrong (and carroll seemed to be swinging his arm for a reason), then no matter what happens to the player, he should be punished.

I would love the idiots who play at "sticking the head" banned. Stupid people need banned, which they are.
