Conneely's Red Card Rescinded - Ipswich Town News

Accrington Stanley skipper Seamus Conneely’s red card during the Blues’ 2-1 win at the Wham Stadium on Tuesday has been rescinded following an appeal by the Lancastrians.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