Conneely's Red Card Rescinded
Thursday, 4th Mar 2021 18:55

Accrington Stanley skipper Seamus Conneely’s red card during the Blues’ 2-1 win at the Wham Stadium on Tuesday has been rescinded following an appeal by the Lancastrians.

Conneely was dismissed for bringing down Troy Parrott in the 16th-minute incident which led to James Norwood’s saved penalty.

At the time it looked a harsh decision with the 32-year-old appearing to have made a genuine, if clumsy, attempt at winning the ball and by the letter of the ‘double jeopardy’ law ought to have been shown only a yellow card.

My earlier post is the definition of denying a goal.

The ref must have seen it as he made no attempt to play the ball
Where the review panel must seen it that he did.

Again people's perception of the incident

Straight Red.

Not interested in the 'ifs and buts' had we played against 11 men for the rest of the game.

We created a clear goalscoring opportunity against 11 men and he was deservedly sent off. We then battered Stanley the rest of the the half and were worthy of the lead. Second half I think a combination of sitting back too much, nerves and Stanley going route one meant we didnt continue in the same vein. However, they only had one clear goalscoring opportunity and we saw the game out.

Cold Tuesday night, away from home, against a team that complained about every single challenge......3 points in the bag.....job done.

It's all subjective really. One person will see it as taking the player out and another will see it as an attempt to get the ball. I personally think the ref made the correct decision at the time. Goid fortune for Accrington. I was disappointed that John Coleman wasnt at least cautioned for his continual remonstrations to the ref. We move on, upwards hopefully.
