Witton Albion vs Workington AFC.

First Team On the Park

Appeal?

A brilliant win, earned by tremendous spirit from a resolute display. Offset by the ridiculous decision to send Prince off. What was the referee thinking. Onwards now to Saturday, another performance like last night’s will surely see us taking the 3 points. UTA

If the ref puts in his report he "SAW " an elbow and He will, you can forget an appeal they always believe the the referee.

24

What about his assistants reports?

A great all round battling performance. I would like to add a special thanks to Calvin. 94th minute, last kick of the game, the ball on our touchline, a lovely cross in to the 6 yard box, Calvin flung him himself out and just got enough on the ball with his fingers to divert the ball away from 2 workington players waiting in the middle. Thanks Calvin

I thought all the games this season were to be video’d? Surely that would have cleared up the sending off incident (depends on how far “off the ball” it was of course) and aided an appeal?

27

My understanding is that the game was filmed and video evidence is required apparently to support any appeal. Whether it will help is another matter.

28

I wouldnt have thought the assistants would be required to fill in a report.
The only way I could see that happening is if the decision was on the recomendation of the assistant .
Id love to see the refs report though.

29

Video highlights of the game are now on the Official website: www.wittonalbionfc.co.uk.

I’ve looked and I can’t see anything conclusive from the incident leading to the sending off.

30

Quite obviously that video is the basis of a successful appeal. I’ve rarely seen such a pathetic sending off in a lifetime of watching football. Obviously the referee THOUGHT he saw an elbow by Prince, there was no elbow, the referee was mistaken.

31

if we can get a media guy to enhance the video to be more clear then an appeal might be worthwhile ? UTA

Unfortunately Refs are “Never Wrong”.

The club have decided not to appeal after reviewing the video footage. Prince will serve a three - match ban starting on Tuesday .
