Toto Nsiala’s appeal against his red card at Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday has been rejected by the FA’s Independent Regulatory Commission and the centre-half now faces a three-match ban.

Nsiala was dismissed in the 75th minute at Hillsborough for a challenge on Fernando Forestieri in which he appeared to cleanly win the ball prior to the Owls striker colliding with him.

The former Shrewsbury man will miss Sunday's East Anglian derby against Norwich and the two games following the international break at Hull City and at home to Brentford.

BobbyBell added 16:21 - Aug 30 If you get a red card for going for a loose ball with no one near it then how can the game be played? Based on this there will be 10 red cards in ever game played.

nysully added 16:37 - Aug 30 Appeals should go to an independent arbitrator, not the refs employer. Of course the appeal would be denied.

jas0999 added 16:51 - Aug 30 I'm not surprised. If this had been a Manchester player, then it would have been overturned. Sadly, these panels tend to back the referees. What's now very important is we sign a CB. Urgently. I still find it bizarre that we started the season with just two Senior CBs.

LegendofthePhoenix added 17:36 - Aug 30 The FA are a disgrace. If they want fans to give up watching football altogether, they are going in the right direction. When success goes to the players who simulate and cheat, and those who play fair get punished, what is the point in it?

bedsitfc added 17:40 - Aug 30 So if an appeal is rejected I thought standard procedure is to increase the ban? Does this mean they agree it shouldn't be a red but we stand by the blind ref?

TimmyH added 17:43 - Aug 30 Never looked like a red card, did he follow through with his studs? (it was difficult to see)... a tackle like that made back in the 70's wouldn't have lifted an eyebrow. Players sadly are over protected now days.

Fatboy added 17:58 - Aug 30 What a joke. Totally disgraceful from the FA to be unable to admit their man got it wrong.

Fatboy added 18:01 - Aug 30 If anything, Forestieri should have been penalised for a late challenge. The ball had long gone by the time he arrived.

Gezzish added 20:20 - Aug 30 If overturned everyone would be saying it changed the game which is exactly what happened. Didn't stand a chance of being overturned.
