There's arguments for and against, I think it's best being kept well alone but the FGR player should have walked too IMO.

I thought it looked much worse live than it does in the highlights video.

@Chris @liampie you can say it was a bad challenge on Jones but fact is he went in 2 footed. Was this why the FGR player challenged like he did because he saw it? The other player should of had a card aswell but fact is there is no place for 2 footed challenges. Could end careers with challenges like that.

I have moved from the Kop to the Pavis this season & it's almost unbelievable what a better view you get of this type of thing, no doubt last season I would have been chanting "you don't know what your doing" but I honestly can have no complaints.

@Ancientpie were you behind the dugout sat next to a really handsome chap in shorts? If so that was me, I was sat next to someone who said they’d moved from the kop.

I see that side of it too mate.

I just feel the FGR player made a meal out of it and even looking back at the video, his rolling around is quite funny. Dan Jones hurt himself and was caught nastily by the FGR player - so it would have been fairer if he had walked too.

Maybe the momentum made the FGR player unable to stop going forward but I see him make the connection, rather than Jones.

It's reckless but I'd never do the same in a similar situation.

Correct decision by the ref from where I was sitting, which was quite close with a good view.  Jones was put in trouble by an awful pass, but that sort of challenge is invariably punished by a red card these days.

If he gets a 3 match ban we should appeal and see if we can get it extended to more games!  If you haven't guessed already I'm not a fan of Dan Jones.  Even though Carl Dickinson is no more than a distinctly average League 2 left back, I think we released the wrong one .

Two footed challenges are dangerous but watching the highlights, it seems Jones did not make a "challenge" but reacted to a very bad pass. Yes, it seems reckless and a red card might be warranted but I feel the Forest Green Rovers player is as much responsible as Jones is.

Both should have walked.

Dan Jones realised his error very quickly, I think the ref could have given both players a card because the whole thing could have been avoided. I think the Forest Green Rovers player knew if he went down and into Jones in the manner he did it would lead to a red card.

Reckless yes, but the decision to push only Jones is a little weak minded.

i know what your saying.  

On this I was on the fence.. but now I think he shouldn’t appeal he went in two footed .. he left his feet first after watching it back in @samwatto2008 video he shared .. that the decision I’ve reached .. 

Red card was correct IMO

Both should have walked, it was only dangerous due to their playing fouling Jones as he slide along the floor to try and hook the ball away.

Not guilty your honor!! no seat 200 towards the kop, won't admit the row because some of the regulars are driving me mad.

where you sit? have you checked to see if @Chris snapped your picture in the faces of pon?

i have closed the poll, the clubs not appealing.

Jones did go in but their playestood on his foot so I say yes.
