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.
