I have now lost any confidence in this organisation. A new law is introduced and little old Welling is the first in line. I hope football commentators run a keen and equally critical eye over any future televised incidents in the Premiership and elsewhere. Let's see how many are brought to book over the course of a season. Last season, we brought a number of appeals against what we deemed to be unfair red cards - not one of them successful.
The assistant referee, rightly or wrongly, gave what he deemed to be a foul worthy of a red card against the Tranmere player. Although the tv pictures were inconclusive, it appeared that the Tranmere player moved his arm in the direction of Kabba. On such a basis, I cannot see how any court in the land can convict Kabba. And previous form, if any, should be disregarded as it is in a court of law. With respect to the officials on the day, if this decision is to be reviewed how about the Tranmere manager's remarks about the fourth official, how about the goal-scoring corner that never was or the alleged handball? The jury is out on the FA. I am now beginning to wonder whether it is worth being filmed by BT sport.

I've had very similar thoughts. Regardless of how much contact there was (no angle I have seen is conclusive) the intent was there, so a red card was the right decision.
As you say, Brabin is guilty of misconduct. Leading Premiership managers have been done for it. Why hasn't he?
