Because the Football Association are such sensible, intelligent folk, I am sure that there must be a logical reason why they refuse to allow appeals by players who have been sent off for two yellow card offences, whereas appeals ARE allowed if a player has been shown a straight red.
However, try as I might I cannot think why this is the case. Does anyone have any insight into this? It just seems to me to be an entirely ridiculous rule. Surely the FA can't really be just a bunch of 'jobsworth' idiots who stubbornly refuse to change something that makes no sense whatsoever?
Break someone's leg by jumping in with studs showing and you can appeal against the ban - but get sent off for an excessive celebration, followed by calling the ref an idiot, and oh no - you have to take your medicine.|||its only a 1 match ban|||It's not that harsh. Only a 1 match ban.|||Um, your two yellow situation appeal will be turned down anyway as excessive celebration (removing shirt) and dessent are both known yellow card offences.
A yellow card is quite a grey area really, you can get a yellow for a lot of reasons (removing your shirt twice for instance, seems stupid but it is two yellows)
Red cards can often be too harsh and a mistake.|||Calm down
And Lucas' sending off against Everton was deserved a thousand times over!|||A straight red could be misconstrued as being false, hasty or even not worthy of anything more than a yellow.
2 yellows are 2 cautions and are seen as having being warned once already. It's unlikely a referee has made the same mistake over the same player twice.
Many seem to think that a yellow card is aceptable when it isn't. Realistically you're not meant to have any colour card!
The FA just see it as a way of keeping order. Discussing appeals on cards isn't the main issue. What we need to discuss is bringing in the (long overdue!) video referees instead.
