Christmas rest for Gunnarsson

Coventry City midfielder Aron Gunnarsson has been handed a three match ban as a result of his red card against Norwich last Saturday.

Gunnarsson received the red card for a dangerous tackle on Henri Lansbury. He will now miss the busy Christmas period, but will only miss a week of football.

Gunnarsson slipped as he went into the tackle and ended up with both feet off the ground as he caught Lansbury.


I think this is a bit harsh considering the conditions in which we were playing, and I think we really needed him! Fingers crossed we don't miss him too much over Christmas

Looks to me as if they wanted to make an example of 'somebody' and since Coventry isn't rich and powerful like some clubs, they picked on Gunnarsson?

It never deserved a 3 match ban... the ref played on for a short while the rules state "If the referee gives a team advantage to play-on after a foul red card can not be shown" he clearly played an advantage then gave a red card? fucking joke

Exactly! I think it should be reviewed because the ref didn't stick to the rules!

Can someone buy that donkey ref a copy of the game? he might learn the rules

3 matches is harsh! Nice rest for him though I guess!

Unfair sending off. I think the opposing players had too much of an influence on the ref that game. Good rest for Gunnarson, will look sharp and a good option after a hectic week for our other boys.

I've watched the replay a few times and I have to say it's a certain red. Ok, the conditions were bad and he slipped just before the tackle but he ends up going in two footed with the studs showing. It's also a bit unfortunate that it's a 3 match ban but i'm guessing it's set to the type of tackle.
