Newcastle have failed in their case of wrongful dismissal associated with the red card Vurnon Anita picked up against Wolves on Saturday afternoon following an Independent Regulatory Commission hearing today.
The Dutch International was dismissed for serious foul play during the game against Wolves on 17th September when his sliding tackle was considered dangerous.
Vurnon Anita picked up red card – it stands
The player’s three match suspension, therefore, remains in effect and an immediate consequence is he will not play tonight against Wolves in the EFL 3rd round tie.
Unfortunately he now misses two crucial league matches at Aston Villa on Saturday and at home Norwich City on Wednesday evening.
We didn’t think the red card would be overturned, because on the video it shows Vurnon going in with his studs raised.
So there’s a chance for somebody to come in at right back and stake a claim to that starting position – maybe 23 year-old American DeAndre Yedlin will get his chance?
Comments welcome.

Comment #81You take better care Ibiza. Defensive driving is the ticket. None of this staying in your own lane malarkey. Go free wheelin’ baby! Go cross country!!!

Comment #83I would like Ritchie on both sides Mautitoon mate but we can’t be greedy. In Rafa I trust. He’ll get the best out of the players in the long run.

Comment #84Ibiza, no, i was just taking the piss. People following a team should know the competition they’re in – end of. So many getting it wrong is a sad reflection on this site. Anyway!!!! Got to get ready or I’ll miss the game. See ya’ll.

Comment #86Bobby…You’re assuming people don’t know.
My point is, I knew, if I hadn’t of known, I certainly did after reading your posts on the matter. I then also voted for the draw.
The fact it was an option or that people care too much is more of a reflection of this site, imo.
Enjoy the game.

Comment #88Bobbybee
I’ve had enough debates with you to no that you aren’t a dick head, I’ve read back my post and I hang my head in shame as that is how it came across, I still feel that saying 15 from 18 is contorting, because we are forth over the entire season, if we look at the last six last season we would possibly be top four, but that is meaningless as we were in the bottom three, that is the point which I was trying to make but I again apologise as I was ignorant to how it could come across, however, I do stand by the point that I was trying to make, your better than silly little figures to back up what you believe or feel, hopefully no harm done.
To put it simply, I apologise, do you accept.

Comment #92I think you should go straight home, put a hot water bottle on the top of your heed and have the nearest beautiful Spanish lass rub Vick’s VapoRub all over your body Ibiza mate. It’s very soothing… she should sing to you as well…..

Comment #93Spoof, of course i accept mate, we’ve never had crossed words which is why i was shocked! 🙂 Those silly figures though are the reality of our situation – we’re third, but lets not split hairs. 🙂 Maybe i didn’t state my point properly. If we continue to get 15/18 points, we’ll get promoted. One bad game? Neither here nor there really. And I really must go.
Ibiza, again, read my comments and i was having a laugh last night. Nothing more. And this time, i really really must go. Later chaps.

Comment #94Bobby…I get that. You’re still saying people should know these things though. My point is, they probably did, but were also “having a laugh”.
G2…Not going to lie, that sounds fairly ideal. The hot water bottle and vicks aren’t required though.

Comment #95Lo nuestro duró
lo que duran dos peces de hielo
en un güisqui on the rocks,
en vez de fingir,
o, estrellarme una copa de celos,
le dio por reÃr.
De pronto me vi,
como un perro de nadie,
ladrando, a las puertas del cielo.
Is this helping Ibiza mate?

Comment #103Shameful to hear the boos at half time during Wolves game.
We cannot take this league for granted. Our players may have ability but it takes more to win this league and countless times, the best team hasn’t made it out.
Lets get behind the lads and spur them on. Not get on their backs.
If we start jumping on the players backs because of a hiccup or two then we only make the situation worse. It’s a long, long season and no one will run away with it so lets fight til the end rather than spread negativity/

Comment #104FFS,
each to there own but poetry and song writing on a football blog is a bit much, if you want to read poetry I’ll led you my Robert Fagles version of Homer’s The Illiad, don’t just read it but study it as well, that should keep you occupied for a year or two and leave us footballing folk to the football.

I don’t know if you watched it
It was a cracking game
He wasn’t overwhelmed by Wembley and really let the game flow .
There were a couple of drama queens early doors writhing on the hallowed turf.
He made it clear he wasn’t going to take any shit in the first quarter and it was a belting game after that.

each to there own indeed, but both your good self and Geordie have been here long enough that I know that both of you are here for the football, your both ( my view only ) using the clown act so that you can see what the feeling is without committing, why do that, if you do then you will become insignificant and be overlooked when posting, if you want to be a bit part then carry on.
