I'm a bit uncomfortable with this. If it hadn't been in a TV game would that have happened? If it had happened at Grimsby v Tranmere on Tuesday night would that have happened?

I know it shouldn't be a factor but the one-eyed reaction from the Wawll fans might have played into the ban being extended.

Maybe the ban wouldn't have been extended if it hadn't been on TV.

And maybe the Wawll fans would have reacted differently if it hadn't been on TV and they hadn't been away to the Nigels.

But defending a keeper who charges out of his area and takes a wild head-high kick at the ball with no regard for the safety of other players is the sort of blind devotion you expect from a religious cult rather than a football fanbase.

FWIW I thought the red card was fair but a three game ban was also fair. Extending the ban is OTT.

If the Palace keeper had done it to a Millwall player, would it have happened? I doubt it. Certainly not if a Champions League goalkeeper had done it to some League 1 scum.

Agree with North that TV has warped the ban decision. But on whether it’s a red or not, the rules are pretty clear:

SERIOUS FOUL PLAY

‘A tackle or challenge that endangers the safety of an opponent or uses excessive force’

Doesn’t matter if it’s premeditated / deliberate or not.
