Is the club challenging Gana's red card?

[blue61]

'Everton Football Club confirm an appeal against Gana Gueyes red card against Manchester Utd, in the hope that a 3 game ban is extended to 10 games' according to club spokesman Tim Iroegbunum.

Won’t be overturned but would be nice to see common sense from the ref. Literally nobody in the stadium is complaining if he doesn’t give that as a red. And the rules are subjective, so could easily have just had a word.

Uche punched Tarkowski and got away with it entirely. Probably used a similar amount of force. Subjective rules make talking points but ruin the game.

If you intentionally hit/slap/punch someone else should be a red. Then it’s clear and no subjectivity. But they need to then actually apply it to all.

It won’t be overturned and shouldn’t be. It was stupid. But consistency would be good.

We wouldn't win any appeal because it is subjective, so they would side with the ref.

However, if we did appeal, we should provide a doctors appraisal of Keane's cheek to say that it is unaffected by the tickle that Gana gave it.

The rules in this comparison aren't being subjectively applied to be fair. It becomes a red card offence because it's his face. Like everyone else I think that some common sense could have been applied because of the rare situation of them being team mates, but it's important to note that the law isn't being applied differently in these cases, they're different laws.

Don’t know why anyone is complaining really, it was a straight Red. The rule states you can’t lift your hand to another player. Do I agree with it ? That doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter how many people disagree with it, within the laws of the game it’s a red card.
And in the immortal words of @Joey66

END OFF

Football is football, double standards for rules make a mockery of them.

Portugal should appeal this, they are a better side without him.

If it was two United players they wouldn't have been sent off.

Appeal - no force involved a stupid spat if we had got beat over that incident this thread would be in meltdown....

Violent conduct isn’t just about it being to the face in the rules. Ref could also have fairly easily argued Ganas force was negligible, as that’s another subjective part of it.

But under violent conduct rules, considersation is also given to attempted use of excessive force or brutality regardless of if contact is made (and that part doesn’t specify head or face).

Both incidents fall under the same considerations. One was a straight red, the other didn’t even get a talking to (as far as I can recall).

Well I hate to break this to you my friend but the managers don’t make the rules. Accept it and move on.
