Shaun Lawrence Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Evening All I have just been informed that my Red Card from a few weeks ago has given me a ban of 3 game without the right to appeal. Does anyone know why i have no right to appeal? I was not even on the pitch when it happened but there are valid reasons for me to appeal (the fact that it was not me but someone else, who has admitted it was them) so i want to appeal. Any ideas as to how i can contact someone about this? We have 3 games of the season left ( 2 after tomorrow which i wont get this sorted before) and are fighting for the league title. Any advice would be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
le boss Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Appparently if it is a case of mistaken identity then you have grounds for appeal but usually you need picture evidence but if you can get the real offender to admit to the county via letter then you might get lucky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Lawrence Posted April 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 It is not such a case of mistaken identity....at the time the referee said it was for swearing at him. Although i had witnesses that say i did not swear. Even another referee we had earlier in the season stood next to me and admitted i did not swear at him. I was a little frustrated yes, but swearing...no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topcat Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 good luck mate. but I think you are destined for the ban. only option for you is to ring the ccfa and discuss the incident in a proper manner, but you will have to accept that the decision whether to hear your case or not will be final Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Lawrence Posted April 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Thanks guys. I just wanted to know why there was no option to appeal that is all. Found it a little bizarre. I have emailed the CCFA and asked for the wording and politely asked for a description of the offence. Its the fact that i have one witness (possibly another if we contact him, who is also a referee in our league) that know i did not do anything to deserve being red carded.

Guest BenTheYeti Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Think it's bad in cases like this that this season players are unable to appeal decisions such as the one you've fallen foul of. Good luck with your appeal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Manning Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 There is no appeal now without video evidence, this brings iinto line with match bans and not time bans, the exception being mistaken identity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Chough Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Thank u b manning told shaun this but wanted to make sure, because of video evidence, how can we do this when we have players of 18 or below?? just wondered how that works, and at this same game in mention someone who does our website was shouted at and told not to take photos of the gameby the home team?

B Manning Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 From an earlier post which touched on this subject, I believe if you are in a public area then there is nothing to say you cannot take photo`s, if you are in a private ground then you will need permission to take photo`s. A previous post on this forum went into this subject in more depth so have a look at that, several photographers explained the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendrons TOP BOI! Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 I should imagine it would depend on the manor in which you recieved your red card which is an ultimate factor why you cannnot appeal the decsion. As a player who during my career has recieved several reds and countless yellows..ive always lived by the motto 'do the crime then do the time'.
