So Walsh has received no punishment for that?

Yes he got sent off and we played the remainder of the game against 10 men?

So take it the ref will now be punished for getting pretty all the big calls wrong and a lot of others.

He's reffing Derby v Stoke, could potentially send one of them down with a shit decision.

That’s ok then if Stoke get a bad one Robins will accept it like he used to for us.

And what has Lampard’s constant whining about referees achieved? I would love him to just accept it like Robins did, we would likely be in the play offs

He’s got lucky there. Might not have been a straight red but was definitely a yellow, which would’ve been his second…

But they are saying he shouldn't have been sent off. That was a yellow all day, and it would have meant a 1 game ban for 2nd yellow.
They normally downgrade something like this to a yellow anyway

He received a 5 game ban which has rightly been rescinded.

I don't think they can downgrade afterwards can they? The same as they can't change a yellow to a red?

Would a load of bollox.

You’ve no idea whether FL has impacted on ref decisions or not.

I’d rather FL be as pissed off as the rest of us with the standard of refereeing and have the balls to come out and say it.

Didn’t do Alex Ferguson, Pepe, Wenger or Jose Mourinho any harm calling out shit reffing

I thought it could only be rescinded if the offence wasn’t a booking or it was mistaken identity?

I think you have both missed the point. If Lampard doesn’t cry at the referee’s he would have been on the touch line against Hull. He’d have surely taken Dasilva off for Bidwell and they don’t score their goal.

Further, Rudoni wouldn’t have been following his managers lead and arguing with the linesman over a 50/50 throw in. He’d have then been in position for said throw in and they don’t score their goal. As such, we would now be in the play offs.

As far as Frank Lampard having ‘balls’ to call out referees, I will reiterate, what has that achieved for Coventry City so far?

So if Walsh gets away unscathed from what should be a ban then so should Dasilva…
Quite self explanatory

For the straight red yes. However if he received a second yellow, as he should have, then he would have had a lengthy ban for his 3rd red of the season

If you say so. If Robins was still here we would more likely have been in the bottom three.

For all we know that Lampards pressure on the fourth officials might have gained us things, I was totally fed up with Robins accepting everything.

You do know that Lampard was in communication with the bench? He could have instructed them to make the sub at any point.

Gave you the like, but it was difficult given your use of 'effect'.

Ofc, but not being on the touchline is obviously to the detriment of the team, at least you’d hope. The only think Lampard’s boring referee attack has resulted in is his ban.

I've heard it happen before, the link below shows what happened in the Motherwell v Kilmarnock game earlier in the season.
I know it's Scottish FL and their rules may be different.

Motherwell defender Dan Casey's red card downgraded to yellow

That's really, really badly written and for those who can't be bothered to read it all the notes on it are:

Birmingham's owner says they will have will have the biggest budget outside of parachute payment clubs, no evidence is given for this

Wrexham get 6 million a year off United Airlines

Even though the story is about the spending power of each club he has been told neither team are going to "gamble on promotion straight away"

There's no mention I can see of their 11.9% interest loan from their owners which is mad.

It's pure clickbait and I guess it has worked

The Birmingham/Wrexham wankfest has began already. I don't even get the Birmingham one, does anyone outside of America even care about Tom Brady or the miniscule involvement he has in Birmingham City?
