Quote: bonaire "At the appeal, Jones pleaded not guilty to the offence. His argument was rejected in principle, but the classification of the offence was reduced to Grade B, and the suspension was reduced to one match, while his fine remains at £500.
so on that basis we should have appealed,
Savelios argument would have been rejected but grade reduced'"
Based upon the Jones decision I’m surprised we hadn’t appealed, in the hope the Panel reduced the ban.
However, overall I’ve never seen the point of player appeals unless new evidence becomes available. When a game has been on Sky, they have various TV angles to review the incident, so the correct disciplinary ban should be handed first time around.
