Not suprised referees are becoming a joke even with St Ledger admitting no contact.I would have thought they had enough bad publicity with the Watford no goal.

Report abuse

this decision is an absolute disgrace.

the fa needs restructuring from top to bottom its a shambles referees making bad calls like big chris’s red card.

he will miss 3 crucial games for doing absolutley nothing wrong.

Report abuse

GUTTED !!

Report abuse

not good at all
bloody FA they aint got a clue what they are doing

Report abuse

This is a joke!!!! The other player involved says it was an accident you can clearly see there was no forward movement from either player.The FA have no common sense whatsoever

Report abuse

NO SUPRISE THERE THEN

Report abuse

thats all we need

Report abuse

This decision is a joke if everyone involved has said ‘no contact’. Good job we have strength in depth

Report abuse

This is crap….Never had aa red card in his career before, even the bloke he clashed with said nothing happened…What more do the FA want before they will over turn a red card?

Oh hang on…He isn’t John Terry is he!

Nuff said then!

Report abuse

Just proves the only way you get red cards recited is if your chelsea! load of rubbish

Report abuse

one rule for premiership superstars and one rule for the rest.

Report abuse

It would have been a different outcome if we were Chelsea Or Man Utd. The ruling doesn’t surprise me at all. They’ve got to stop us somehow. Based on the precedent set with John Terry’s rugby tackle Wayne’s card should be rescinded, as if.

Report abuse

JOKE ! ! If it was Man Utd or Chelsea it would of been different ! ! Respect the officials ? ? B@!?:@ks

Report abuse

Oh what a suprise! If that was a top four premier club it would of been overturned. But he shouldnt have said he definitly get it outurned in his post match interviw!
Lets hope we have the other strikers can chip in and start scoring!
Come on the lads!!!!

Report abuse

I can’t believe it! Just goes to show that you have to be John Terry or a chelsea player to get anywhere with the FA.

Report abuse

A great pity that the FA have not had the common sense to listen to the people involved and make the only decision that they should have . It would appear that you have to be a Chelsea player to have a red card rescinded . It would be very interesting to see how many cards , both red and yellow , that John Terry has received during his career and to compare that with Chris who has been a professional for at leats 4 years longer and has received only 8 yellow cards during that time . However , I am convinced that , as much as we will miss him , the rest of the team will make up for his absence and keep us unbeaten over the period of the suspension .

Report abuse

Not good news. He is been our most lethal striker to date. However, this is a squad game and Vokes or Keogh must step in and do the business. They are both internationals and should be capable of filling the gap.
This applies to the defence and midfield also. Have a bad game and there are quality performers to take your place!

Report abuse

Shocking even after Sean St Ledger had come to his defence. He obviously does play for Chelsea!!

Report abuse

JUST A PITY THAT IWELUMO IS NOT THE ENGLAND CAPTAIN ,HE WOULD HAVE HIS RED CARD APPEAL
WIPED CLEAN NO PROBLEM.

Report abuse

it seems like because we are not chelsea or man u we were never going to get away with it

Report abuse

disgrace if it was john terry no problem. one rule for them one for us gutted for the bloke

Report abuse

would it have been the same outcome if he played for chelsea

Report abuse

No great surprise or disappointment.

Fantastic player, but we have good options and a great squad.

If Kights and Jarvis are playing, im positive.

Report abuse

Iwelumo’s comment post game may have been his downfall..confident of being involved was perhaps not the thing to say because the powers that be really enjoy enforcing the ban!

The question will be what about St Ledger then?

Report abuse

Disgraceful decision. He didn’t commit a foul – it was accidental contact. John Terry commits a cynical foul – he gets away with it. It’s not right.

Report abuse

Bad decision!!
if he had meant to clash heads with st ledger then he wouldn’t have appealed to help him!
Hopefully this will just make iwelumo more determined when he comes back.

Report abuse

An absolute joke. I’m not surprised though, the FA are a bunch of court jesters at the beck and call of the big (RICH!!!) clubs. I can’t wait until their house of cards comes tumbling down around them.

Totally and utterly inexcuseable. St Ledger attempted a lying down drop kick and didn’t even get spoken to. From now on ref’s are fair game if you ask me after this weekends disgraceful decisions in the fpl.

Report abuse

Obviously we should have asked Chelsea to put the appeal in for us

Report abuse

Iwelumo affair just proves what I’ve always known; The FA, aptly named, are a bunch of amateur, prejudiced yes-men. His name was not `Terry` and the club are not deemed rich enough to have `powerful` individuals with influence. A one match ban along with St Ledger for play acting would have been acceptable but this decision, like many, brings the game into disrepute. It really is time to bring the game into the twentieth century as regards video evidence so that officials can be sure of their knee jerk reactions. I do mean the `twentieth century` before anyone attempts to correct me. I bet many of us who have suffered at the hands of the foolish and petty officialdom of the F A suspected this would be the outcome. Blood boiling time. Just look at how the small, penniless clubs are treated such as Bournmouth, Luton, etc. The smaller you are the less regard you receive.

Report abuse

Of course it was. Had we appealed on the quiet, it would have had a much better chance. However, MM’s comments regarding his own sending off ridiculed the ref. Why would he help us to overturn it? If Mick had kept his trap shut rather than trying to prove to the world that he’s a “no-nonsense Yorkshire man”, yet a-bloody-gain, we’d probably have had it overturned.

Report abuse

Shame his name isn’t John Terry.

Report abuse

Absolute disgrace. What other evidence do they want? Both players said nothing happened, video evidence shown there was no “headbutt”. These panels are a disgrace.

Report abuse

If he played for a top 4 prem side he would have been ok, ONE RULE FOR THEN AND ANOTHER FOR THE OTHERS ITS A DISGRACE!!!!

I’m sure Vokes or Keogh will do a good job for the 3 games.

UP THE WOLVES!

Report abuse

If Chris played for Chelsea he’d have got it overturned!

We’ll miss him but our squad has withstand these types of loses. I’m sure Bristol City will go home pointless.

Keep the faith.

Report abuse

Outrageous! Vokes start warming up…

Report abuse

bonkers decision – what’s the point of an appeals system when an obvious error stands?
Fortunately we have strength in depth, but crazy decisions like this can swing a whole campaign if they come at the wrong time.

Report abuse

Oh, what a suprise! I suppose for this to be overturned the ref would have had to admit that he was wrong, which he isn’t man enough to do. I thought infallability only covered the Pope, not every jobsworth that turns up to referee a football match. Just to think that the latest buzz word at the FA is RESPECT. Pretty difficult to respect an organisation that won’t admit that it could have made a mistake. Can’t help thinking that this is yet another slap in the face for a team not in the big four – still you get what you pay for!

Report abuse

What a joke

Report abuse

Oh well. His own fault.

Feed the Vokes and he will score…

See you Saturday.

Report abuse

why am i not surprised,, the FA is so out of touch with everything regarding football.. but then again we do not have John Terry at Wolves

Report abuse

Absolute travesty, never had a red in his career …I feel sorry for the bloke.

These refs are a ******* joke!

Report abuse

Damn It !! oh well, i could see this coming with many obvious reasons.
Still, In response to kightly’s little blog, ill be there on saturday :D
Come on you Wolves !!! :D ( aye boing boing donk ) ;)hehe as terry would say :D

Report abuse

What a joke!
Typical, Chris should have put a Chelsea or Man Utd shirt on, punched the ref and shot the linesman and he would still have won his appeal.
Just shows how corrupt the FA really are, if your not in the top four of the prem forget it!!

Report abuse

sure if he was an england international he would be pardoned but hey it dont benefit the england side so they punish him joke. one rule for terry another rule for big chris!!!!!!!

Report abuse

terry’s red card gets recinded and then we lose our appeal even when we have the other player involved saying no contact was made!shocking decision, although i’m not suprised with our FA.

Report abuse

Typical FA
You have to be John Terry to get off with blatant proffessional fouls, and cannot hope to be in with a chance if its accidental and the guy they say you head butted stands up for you.

Report abuse

Any ideas how we get rid of the numbskulls at the FA and replace them with common sense ???????

Report abuse

the FA know FA about how this game should be run. 1st the goal that wasn’t goal in the Watford v Reading match, the shambles of yellow cards at Stamford Bridge, now this. The head of our game are a bunch of jokers, stuck in the past and too afraid to make a decision on anything.

Report abuse

Shame his name wasn’t John Terry. How often does a player appealing a red get the guy he has “assaulted” speak in his defence. Another brilliant FA decision. Top marks to Sean St Ledger anyway.

Report abuse

hardly suprising only if you play for big guns do you win appeals john terry against man city being classic example.still have faith in the back up players.

Report abuse

Absolutely ridiculous! Nuff said!

Report abuse

useless FA

Report abuse

hes a danger up front for us,we will miss him.

Report abuse

sign his name’s not John Terry or he doen’t play for one of the top 4 then !! In my opinion the worst tackle made on the pitch on Saturday for our penalty went unpunished was more of a red card offence but the guy never even got a talking to! They say respect the ref – when they start becoming a little more consistent, then they’ll get respect

Report abuse

Outrageous! This is a conspiracy. 3 unjustified red cards.

Report abuse

Iwelumo 3 match ban too much especially after Dean St.Ledger’s evidence.

Report abuse

What a joke

Report abuse

that is the most rubbish ive heard for ages it was accidental cotact ref r u blind
