From 3 to 1 game.

Having seen it, only right. though never a red card in the first place, the appeal decision probably reflects this, an admission of guilt perhaps.

I think it’s unbelievable it was a 3 match ban in the first place. You get them for violent conduct or serious foul play, this was neither! It was stopping a goal scoring opportunity which is 1 game. They’ve basically looked at it said it’s been given the wrong ban and that’s it without actually looking to see if any offence was committed.

They should review the ref's total performance, stick his whistle up his arse and never let him near a football pitch again.
He obviously had an agenda in that match, either a financial gain or fulfilling a grudge.
They won't of course which emphasises that they have no intention of tackling cheating, and this was cheating, purely and simply.
It is about time it was stamped out, in all it's forms, including refereeing. Osbourne is a narky cheat and, by his actions, the referee condoned it. Therefore he is as compliant.

Well Pools have changed the story now. The appeal was actually rejected and it was 1 match to start with.

The Non-League Daily thinks Pools did get a reduction on appeal:

You'd think though that even that idiot of a ref would have sent Odusina off for a professional foul (1 match ban if fouled player was in on goal) not violent conduct (3 match ban).

Violent Conduct ? thats hilarious

They will have just taken the news from our social media which said it was reduced.

That's Journalism these days, just young kids, looking at various apps and plagiarising snippets of news.

They should've know The Bunker is the go to place for all things Hartlepool United

John Gill, Billy Ayre and Watty Moore would have had a season ban.

and its really improved the game for fans since those times. those at the top keep telling us that but i for one do not agree.
