David Brown
 

According to fishy site stanley are to appeal against DBs sending off which is great but and please correct me if i,m wrong (and the BBC web site) but did,nt he get shown a yellow in the first half ??
The match officials were worse than useless again on saturday and also after watching the video footage several times over IMHO it was no way a dirty blatant foul that deserved a red, a good talking to would have done at that stage of the game.
I hope we do go to appeal and win cos we need brownie for the run in and lady lucks got to shine on us sometime soon.

No I don't remember a yellow card for David on Saturday.. and the ref definitely brandished his red straight away, not yellow then red...I hope we win the appeal cos we bloody well should do :mad:

Re: David Brown
 

Fishy site says sending off was for serious foul play, which carries automatic 3 match ban. :(

Although I thought Brownie was stupid to dive in needlessly, there was no way it was serious foul play, no way on earth.

There'd be no-one left if this plonker officiated at, say Macclesfield v. Chester. ;)

Re: David Brown
 

i really hope that david gets his card taken away because he really does deserve to be in the starting line up.

Re: David Brown
 

I think Brown was just very unlucky, wrong tackle at the wrong time, the ref had just booked Williams which in my opinion was, or at least looked worse than Browns and i think with flying in almost straight after i think the ref just thought he`d put a stop to it, very unlucky to get a straight red as it didn`t look that bad, and i think he could win the appeal as it was no way a red card offense.

Re: David Brown
 

It wasn't the kind of game for a streight red, like allredy mentioned a good talking too and a yellow would have made more sense. If it does go to appeal, i'm confident the red will be overturned.

Re: David Brown
 

agreed there :D

Re: David Brown
 

Looks like you were wrong. See t'fishy site. :(

Re: David Brown
 

Generally agreed amongst our lot that the card was harsh. Yes the earlier challenge was worse but I guess the ref had just had enough of the constant fouling and Browner was the one who caught for it.

Re: David Brown
 

Yes, he was easily conned wasn't he?:)

Re: David Brown
 

Typical FA.

Gutted :(

Re: David Brown
 

Once every four minutes apparently ;)

Re: David Brown
 

So you admit it?:D

Re: David Brown
 

Certainly not. Nor, for that matter, would most of the rest of the League I suspect. You don't get one of the worst records in the League for being angels do you.....and no, I don't think we deserved anything out of the game. We wouldn't have beaten a pub team on Saturday. In fact......

Re: David Brown
 

Ludicrous decision! It should at least have been reduced to a yellow card, makes you wonder if the FA even looked at it. I know some players get a reputation & sometimes get sent off because of it but David Brown is not one of those, bloody shame!

Re: David Brown
 

I think you are right there. As far as I know the FA don't look at it, they ask the referee if he would like to review his decision, in which case he was never going to win the appeal. Could be wrong.

Re: David Brown
 

and apparently it cost five hundred quid?

Bulls bollocks from the Hereford forum:-

"No surprise there really. Only surprise for me was that Twatrington bothered to appeal at all.
I like Browner he gave his all here and still has a fair amount of ability but regardless of where it happened on the pitch he made no attempt to play the ball and viscously kicked Danny Thomas as he went past.
Straight red for violent conduct ......spot on. "


Viscously? How do you do that?<!--msgend-->

Re: David Brown
 

that must mean it was a sticky tackle?

Re: David Brown
 

We should have blamed the pitch.

Re: David Brown
 

Having watched the incident several times,seemed like a clear 'hack down from behind' to me.Can't understand what the fuss is all about. ???

Re: David Brown
 

Agreed, KJ, was definately deserving of a yellow, but, IMHO, as , in own half, nowhere near 'last man', no way a red.... sorry, mate, you 'had to be there'!!

Re: David Brown
 

I'll stand corrected but I always thought that by bringing someone down like that WAS deemed an act of violence,therefore the big red.
As I say I'll stand corrected.

Re: David Brown
 

Agree with you John, and I was there, thought Brownie had more sense. I knew exactly what the ref was going to do, why don't the players?

Dangerous play though, no way, three matches is far too harsh, but resistance is useless. :)

This last man bit is getting a bit irksome, since when could you not be sent off unless the goalie was the nearest player? :confused:

Re: David Brown
 

Seems to be confusion about him being sent off because he was last man. The technical term for that is preventing a goal scoring opportunity and carries a 2 match ban. In this case it seems irrelevant if he was deemed last man because thats not what he was sent off for, in the opinion of the referee of course.

Re: David Brown
 

Now we didn't see any Bulls players doing anything like that did we :rolleyes:

Re: David Brown
 

Graham Turner does not think he should have been sent off. See:
