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.

If they allowed video evidence, that allowed all incidents to be punished, regardless of whether the ref saw it, that would be fine by me.
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.
