Quote: Trimalchio "Quite right too. IMO he was lucky to get away with one game, don't know what he was thinking trying to appeal. Then again JJB is a little 'special' as Barrie Mac once put it.'"
I think the appeal was based on it being the first time he was up against the disciplinary panel. Claiming a previous good record should mean he gets away without a ban. Apparently though the good record was why he only got 1 match instead of more.
