Right decision but can't help thinking of the appeals we have done over the last few years which have all been upheld. One rule for the big clubs......
Your player KAPPA should be hauled before standards committee and banned for 3 matches for his unprofessional behaviour again SUTTON and TRFC. I understand he has acted this way previously?
His action in cheating was disgusting, and unsporting. He should get the ban.
TV footage does not give a clear view of the incident, an arm was definitely moved backwards but did it catch Kabba in the face? Obviously the FA have decided it didn't. Sutton and Kabba were niggling each other all match. The referee acted on what was told to him by the assistant referee on the Erith and Belvedere side. What did the official see that made him make that call?

We don't have a player called Kappa.
The player, Kabba, is being hauled before the FA.
Players feigning injury, and indeed claiming every throw and free-kick even when they know it isn't theirs, does need to stop. But don't get annoyed with Kabba, everyone has been doing it for years, including your lot I imagine. It needs to stop across the board.
If he feigned it then I won't be complaining if he is punished, but I'd like to think that this sort of decision would be reciprocated when we are away to the "big clubs" now the rules have changed for this season. I didn't see us getting much of the rub of the green last season with red cards away for Gallagher, Turner, Bush, and for other people picking on us, like Halifax's hooligan kicking Beautyman off the park a few days before captaining and playing alongside him for the England C team.

We await a tranmere player to feign injury we might come on your forum and have a meltdown.
We are new to the imbicile decisions the officials in National League are making. At our last home game, we had such a bad liner that the ref was constantly over ruling his decisions!
Your boy has a history of this type of behaviour - you should'nt stick up for cheats! There are too many of them in the game these days.
We certainly don't try to get players red carded illegally !
Yeh yeh! Im sure Tranmere are perfect in everyway. Has your chairman sent the cheque to pay for the smashed windows in the changing rooms yet. I wonder if the FA are looking in to that as well.
You obviously know Kabba better than we do (only his 3rd game for us) but I seem to recall John Aldridge 'stretching the laws' when wearing a Tranmere shirt.
I saw no tv angle to prove the call either way.
Will Gary Brabin be hauled up by the FA for his comments about the officials?
Sutton should have been sent off in the first half for blocking a goalbound shot with his arm. Therefore whilst I think it's fair that he had his red card overturned, he shouldn't have been on the pitch come half time.
I eagerly await to hear of a Tranmere player feigning injury....it happens at all levels of the game.

Brabin was telling the truth! As proven by the review board!!!!

Really? I wasn't aware there had been a review board to consider Brabin questioning the integrity of the referee and, in particular, the fourth official.
I think everyone is missing a point here. As I understand it the TV footage is inconclusive, so an element of doubt remains. So perhaps reducing the red card to a yellow would be fair. As it is the "injured" player has now been deemed guilty and a cheat, despite not having the chance to defend himself and despite the decision taken by the officials on the day. Where is the basic justice in this process, regardless of the team / players involved.
I don't want to sound like I have a chip on my shoulder but it is annoying that it always seems to be the smaller clubs like us who get punished for crap like this when the bigger teams get away with it
just wait until the weekend when a big name prem player does it and nothing happens to him but small Welling get punished
As an educated football ghost, i fail to comprehend how a player can take a swing at a player and get a red card overturned. Do we assume that it is ok to swing at player now as long as you do not connect?
If the FA are now reversing the Refs decisions, how about reversing the decision to award them that corner, which wasn't, that led directly to their goal?
My take for what it was worth - it was an off the ball incident that the assistant referee spotted ( I looked across at the linesman and he had his flag raised.) and informed the referee via the headphones, a off the ball incident would not necessary have been pick up by the TV cameras if it was following the ball. hence, lack of clear video evidence one way or the other.
Regardless of lack of video evidence, something occurred for the assistant referee a reason the bring the incident to the referees attention.
I would of thought now day's the conversations between the assistant ref and the referee are recorded and if that is the case I am surprised that would not have been used as evidence. Second thoughts probably a walkie talkie set from Maplins.

As the original decision has been overturned, that to me suggests that there was enough evidence supplied for the appeal panel to be happy with making it. From the footage that we have all seen it is not conclusive that Kabba was or was not hit. Is it possible that Sahr or someone else has said something to that fact and that is why he has been charged? A new ruling for this year and I'm sure that the FA will want to be seen as implementing a firm stance to send out a message. Welling are not in a position to appeal if it is going to cost money, so it will be an easy win for the governing body. It would be harsh if Kabba receives a 3 game ban on the evidence supplied though.
I admit my earlier comments were purely based on what I saw on the day, but I have to agree with Trigger, that for a decision to be overturned there must be enough evidence available to overturn a decision - I would also suspect Kabba will get a three match ban as this will be reported and everyone will be aware of the rule.
