Quite surprised as despite whatever other shenanigans were going on he did seem to put his hand in Doyle's face and push him.Swindon were successful in their appeal and the ban has been cancelled.
That was unbelievable. I can't recall the outcome now tho, was the red rescinded? And for that matter was Hendry brought to task for simulation?I think you have to accept the decision by the panel.
In the same way we accepted DIon's dismissal at Blackburn all those years ago (not sure we did though).
Wrongly or rightly it was the refs "opinion" at the time that it was violent conduct and I think most of us would agree. I'd be very disappointed if I was the ref to have that decision overturned.By rights the game should be replayed as the sending off may have affected the result.
The FA should have refused the appeal and had a quiet word with the ref to make sure he gets it right next time.
Regards.
Yeah and Dion never actually made contact with Hendry .I think you have to accept the decision by the panel.

Something isn't right about it, didn't their manager say Doyle bit him?

I think the officials got it spot in! Looks like the authorities though beg to differ.Says a lot about the standard of officiating in this country in general. League 2 is absolutely appalling and I’m sure it’ll cost us a point or 3 in the not too distant future.

This is all pretty curious. After their manager's comments following the game I was half expecting charges against Doyle especially as the footage seemed to suggest something had gone on before he was pushed in the face
I believe they can if there was something else that hadn't been seen. For example if Doyle was booked for dissent and footage showed that there had also been violent conduct which the ref hadn't spotted.They can't bring charges if he was booked at the time can they?
