Jack Currie

[ContrifibulatoryFred]

No one disputes the injustice of Jack Currie’s sending off at Birmingham
That in my opinion has caused the 3 full games plus 80 mins v Birmingham where the Os have fallen apart.
Why, if that idiot referee admitted his error, wasn’t Currie’s ban overturned??
It smacks of injustice and I can’t understand why the club seem to have accepted the ban without an appeal.
Am I wrong???

Didn't the falling apart start at Bolton the Saturday before?

That's a good question. I was wondering about that myself .

[Token]

Agreed. It was the defining moment of our season. In my opinion we would still be in the playoff zone if that embarrassing decision hadn’t happened

[Hoover Attack]

The club haven’t actually announced anything about an appeal, have they?

Just seen the most violent follow through from Tarkowski in the Liverpool derby. Ref gave a yellow . VAR backed it up. It makes Curries tackle look like a tickle. How the Liverpool players leg wasn’t broken was pure luck. Awful tackle.

Can someone please explain why the red card wasn’t rescinded?

There didn't seem to be an official line on it but a few things were said in interviews...

Ref admitted it was a mistake
Howard Webb agreed
The FA Disciplinary panel upheld the ban regardless

Incompetent or malevolent, take your pick

[Chelmsford Swimmer]

Unfortunately the FA Disciplinary panel are more interested in supporting the referees than justice, the whole process is a a farce IMHO. The only decisions I've seen overturned are either mistaken identity, or TV analysed with massive public opinion. I can't remember Leyton Orient ever making a successful appeal.
