ian1964 10,761 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Looks a straight red to me http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/scotland/35088597 Paul Barnes @STVPaul 1h1 hour ago John McGinn's red card has been downgraded to yellow. He can play against Queen of the South on Sat and against Rangers on Monday 28th https://twitter.com/STVPaul 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whosthedado 1,703 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Utterly ridiculous decision to downgrade it but I keep hearing in my work that we get all the decisions??? So we do! I wish we were playing tonight this has fired me right up for the next two games!! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,741 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I didn't think this could happen. I thought it was only if the referee missed the incident? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,808 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Rules have been used rather loosely of late. Maybe they are more guidelines than actual rules in the normal sense of the word? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,741 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 (edited) My understanding is you can appeal a sending off for a straight red card but not for 2 yellows. What still seems strange here is the referee had a perfect view of the tackle & deemed it dangerous enough to merit a straight red. Was he wrong in any way?

der Berliner 3,808 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 No, but the shadow tribunal at the SFA was not valuating the challenge, but McGinn's worth to HIbs in the upcoming matches ... my cynic self just whispered. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
