I’ve watched the video multiple times and you can’t definitively say that it’s only hit him above the t-shirt line on any of the angles shown. You’re not going to get a decision like this overturned without clear-cut evidence to the contrary. Screenshots taken before he’s even made contact with the ball, like the ones people are throwing round on Twitter, aren’t enough. What’s the alternative anyway? That there is a grand refereeing conspiracy against Coventry City in an attempt to get us relegated? I’d rather trust a panel of experienced officials ahead of a bunch of partisan football fans who are desperate for on of their centre backs to not get a suspension ahead of a big game.it shows it hit him above the line that is called the t-shirt line which as per the current laws says it is not handball
So doubled for having the cheek to ask.Rejected but only 2 games ban
No no addition for appealingSo doubled for having the cheek to ask.

Well it's not really that special ,if we have Var now it's not that.mutch of a stretch to have a decent level of verification on ref decisions retrospectively ,oh hang on jeez IDK nowI’ve watched the video multiple times and you can’t definitively say that it’s only hit him above the t-shirt line on any of the angles shown.

AhNo no addition for appealing
Win some you lose some. Were you complaining after Notts County away?
Are people really suggesting corruption? Have a day of ffs. This place. Ha ha
I bet the Wolves fans and management foster this opinion .I'm not complaining; I'm not even expressing an opinion on VAR and certainly not on whether it was a penalty or not. I'm just musing.
"You win some you lose some" is certainly a valid opinion. But I can also understand people thinking that's unacceptable when if you lose more than you win you might lose £millions. What if your bank randomly rounded your balance to an even £hundred every now and then? Is "you win some you lose some" fine in those circumstances? You'd probably be happy when they rounded up - but what if they rounded down 10 times in a row over the period of a month - and most of them immediately after your salary had been paid in. Still OK? And the amounts of money at risk in football are far greater.

I think the ref made a big mistake that may or may not have cost us a point(s) but I would have no concerns having him ref any of our future games. In the big picture he’s been consistently better than most.Are people really suggesting corruption? Have a day of ffs. This place. Ha ha
Isn’t it 2 because it’s his 2nd sending off this season? The offence is normally a 1 game ban I thought.No no addition for appealing
Yep so no extra game for appealingIsn’t it 2 because it’s his 2nd sending off this season? The offence is normally a 1 game ban I thought.
Too small and do we even know if he is any good in the air?Would anyone else like to see Kelly dropped back as the sweeper/central CB in McFadz' absence? He can read the game well, tackles well and is the leader on and off the pitch. Think he'd bring the games of Hyam, Osti and Rose up a notch and also reduce his exposure to manic running about the pitch trying to cover everyone elses job and therefore reduce the risk of injury.

Now you can be wrong together
I'm not great with the rules but morally it looks like handball to me. He moves his arm up towards the ball and steps away. Had he stepped into the ball and it hit the same place without raising his arm (and he appears to have time to do so), it would have been a great and legal block.
If you've got facebook have a look at this angle. Pretty conclusive. He moves his hand towards the ball and stops it. Everyone commenting in here im guessing has only seen the front angle. So I'll let you off. But you're wrong

Ah but he moved unaturally ,then he moved his arm ,yeah to try and avoid the ball hitting it,ah but then he turned his upper body cheeky bugger trying to shield it away rather than into the net .That's not the laws though. It can't be handball if it doesn't hit a part of the body that counts as a handball. Intent does not matter, if you got to handball it but don't it is not a handball.

They won't normally overturn a referee's decision unless it is something like mistaken identity. Especially when a penalty is involved and/or the result is affected.Yup, I don't believe it was handball, but the appeal board are never going to overturn that are they. Like you say, not clear and obvious.
