Cahill Loses Appeal

Post by ohjimmyjimmy » Tue Sep 14, 2010 3:20 pm

Steady boys...don't all faint at once.

http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528, ... 03,00.html
The Football Association has rejected Bolton defender Gary Cahill's appeal for wrongful dismissal against Arsenal.

Cahill was controversially shown a straight red card by referee Stuart Attwell for a challenge from behind on Marouane Chamakh at Emirates Stadium during Bolton's 4-1 defeat.

Bolton boss Owen Coyle was hopeful of having the red card overturned after being infuriated by the decision last Saturday.

However, the FA has rejected Bolton's appeal and it means Cahill will be forced to serve a three-game ban.

It means Cahill will miss this weekend's clash with former club Aston Villa, the home game with Manchester United and the Carling Cup tie against Lancashire rivals Burnley.

He's doing well in convincing Capello to select him. :roll:

At least he didn't get a fourth game for frivolity.

I don't see anyway they could have overturned it.

They can only do so when there is a clear mistake.

For example if Cahill was adjudged to have handled the ball but it hit his nose. Or something like that.

They can't interpret whether a red card challenge should only be a yellow or a freekick anymore. It can only be for clear obvious and demonstrable mistakes. Not for errors in judgement.

Why bother appealing it then?

Seems strange, we must have had some belief. I think even Ferguson declined to appeal something recently, so why would we bother?

Anyhoo, rightly or wrongly, no surprise.

Just for the sake of it I suppose. It cost about a days worth of Riga's wages and the Premier League are so woefully inconsistent with these kind of things you just never know.

And as far as I was aware Ricketts earnt his spot as back-up centre half. I don't see why he would've lost it.

O'Brien came on on Saturday to replace Cahill, though. Ricketts on the bench?

Was wondering that myself, what has Ricketts done to fall off the face of the earth? Or was he not on the bench this past Saturday? He most definitely earned his keep when Cahill was out last season.

I'd slightly side with Ricketts. Thought of AOB chasing Agbonlahor frightens me more than nuclear war

There's the John Terry precedent. Perhaps they hoped Cahill's new found international status could swing it liike it did for that c*nt.

AOB has history of not keeping up with Agbonlahor either.

He can be stopped by intelligent defending but that still needs the movement of someone younger than AOB for me.

It wasn't a red card, but at the same time there was NO way they would overturn it. It would be seen as majorly undermining the referee's original decision which they would never do. That's the problem with having a 12 year old referee though, disgraceful decision but unless the original red card is quite clearly a mistake then they never overturn it. At least one game is the Carling Cup game against Burnley which Cahill might have been dropped for anyway.
