Appeal Rejected! - Ipswich Town News
Marcus Stewart's appeal over his red card against Leeds has been turned down by the FA Advisory Committee. He will now miss the games against Everton, Bradford and Aston Villa and won't have a game for the five weeks from last Saturday until March 17th.
Quite how the 12-person video advisory panel managed to consider a challenge where the player wasn't even touched a red card offence is anybody's guess but they have.
Apparently the committee contains four ex-managers, four-ex-players and four ex-referees and one from each group looks at each incident. John Duncan is apparently one of the ex-managers as is former Norwich manager Mike Walker. It is now known whether either looked at the Stewart incident.
