We have appealed Hutch's red card.

We lost the appeal.

I expected Huth to get a red at some point. However, he clearly slipped on the torrentially rained upon pitch and momentum slid him under the Brizzle players feet.

I also think their second yellow for a red was harsh too.

I thought there's a rule change this season where the last Defender back isn't a straight red anymore just a pen?

There is, I was expecting it to be either rescinded or changed to a yellow.

If that's a deliberate foul, I despair.

Agreed, that's utterly ridiculous that someone could rule that way given the recent change.

The rule is that he has to make an attempt to play the ball for a yellow. Hutch didn't cos he slipped. By the letter of the law it's a red.
