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.

By the way both Mick Lowes and Ando commented that Tim Robinson’s refereeing on Saturday was more about him than the footy.

Comment #122Spoof…The clown act? I think I’ve been fairly consistent in my inconsistent blogging since I arrived.
The blog, for as long as I remember anyway (which could lead me to thinking it’s my doing…) has always had a mix of things going on, including a fair bit of silliness.
Whilst it isn’t my aim, I can live with a bit part, if that is where you feel I should be consigned to.
However, I am slightly curious as to what you mean by “can see what the feeling is without committing”? Committing to football talk?
