Clubs appeal final red cards

 

Arsenal and Chelsea have appealed against the red cards shown to Emmanuel Adebayor and John Obi Mikel.

 

The duo, along with Kolo Toure, were sent off during the closing stages of Chelsea's 2-1 Carling Cup final win over Arsenal on Sunday.

Chelsea substitute Mikel was dismissed for tangling with Toure, after his tug on the Arsenal defender had sparked an ugly brawl.

Players from both teams waded in before order was restored, with Adebayor sent off for his involvement in the fracas.

The Togo striker then refused to leave the field, protesting that referee Howard Webb had red-carded the wrong player.

Television replays later suggested that Emmanuel Eboue clipped Wayne Bridge, although it is unclear whether this incident prompted Adebayor's dismissal in any event.

However, the two London clubs have now lodged appeals against the red cards and their cases will be heard by The FA's Disciplinary Commission on Tuesday.

Mikel has subsequently apologised for his sending off, while Adebayor has maintained his innocence over the brawl which overshadowed the Millennium Stadium showpiece.

i wonder where is Ian and Dave

They expect footballers to be emotionless. Not even allowed to celebrate next season.

 

These things are always blown massively out of proportion. Toure and Obi Mikel was just an arguement, Adebayor was sent off because the reff thought he was Eboue, Eboue was only one who should have been sent off.

 

 

What's far more important is John Terry and how the physios and players reacted. They all looked horrified.

how they reacted to Adebayor being sent off? yea i was going nuts, he did nothing to deserve it. But what are you saying, NO celebrating next season?!?!?!?

Jack ,your sig is funny:lol:

Yeah, basically. It was in a newspaper here. They had photos of loads of celebrations (like Tim Cahill punching the flag) and people with their hands over their ears as if to say "what?" to the doubters.

 

Not allowed next season. Apparently Fifa wants everyone to do what Henry does when he's in a mood and just run up the pitch and get on with it. Henry is awesome.

It's a stupid idea.

Lampard,Shevchenko!
