West Ham intend to go ahead with the appeal against Cheik Kouyate’s red card despite Slave Bilic being fed up with FA appeals.
ClaretandHugh was the first to beak the news that an appeal was on the way against Mark Clattenbourg’s game-changing decision against Palace.
And this morning David gold -currently holding an open day for fans at his home – made it clear the club would not be changing its mind on the issue.
Bilic had declared: “”Will we appeal? I am fed up with appealing,” said Bilic.
However, Gold – and it is understood David Sullivan – are determined to get what they consider is justive and Gold said: “No second thoughts – we will be pressing ahead with the appeal.
“It can all become very tiring but this is a crucial last stage of the season and we have to do all we can to keep our best players on the pitch.”
Kouyate had looked tired as he made the challenge and it maybe that the trek from international duty with Senegal found him out in the later stages of the game.
However, there is now little question after Clattenburg’s decision met with a chorus of universal disapproval from all sides, the appeal will go ahead.
And, as surely as night following day MU about to pick up three points
The club MUST appeal this nonsensical decision. Even for the principle. It comes back to accountability. The refs should stop believing they are untouchable and perfect. Clattenburgh exudes self sufficiency mixed with petulance and that is reflected in how he behaves on the pitch. He ether needs to change or do something else. In the meantime, there needs to be some way of reminding him and others that they cannot go on like this week after week.
Just watched LA Galaxy play on Sky.Geezer does a hard but fair tackle & gets sent off.It ain’t just here it happens.Refs are pants worldwide,lol 🙂
So according to graham poll , it was not a sending off ,
BUT ???? Because it was a harsh decision , ??????? He will lose the appeal ?????????????
That sums it all up for me ! They haven’t a clue and all based on bull sight !!
You couldn’t dream this up ?? Totally delusionary !!!!!!!
A bit like showing 3 yellow cards in a world cup game ? Ring a bell anyone !!!
He also said that clattenburk has other pressures on him cos he’s Reffing at the euros ????
That may have contributed to his decision ! His focus is on that !!!!
God help the euros !!
If that is the case then he should be withdrawn immediately !!!
I wonder if the George Osborne lookalike cried at thatchers funeral as Osborne did !
The pair are emotionally unstable !!!
Why not have a points system for the ref’s. I.e. over the season their decisions get reviewed and they get minus points weighting for the percentage of bad decisions. That would then make them think twice about reaching for the cards at every little thing if there was a penalty associated with a certain amount of points. Say below 75% correct decisions you get demoted out of Prem matches
