' Cardiff City have failed in an appeal '

Cardiff City have failed in an appeal against Sean Morrison's sending off against Leeds.

The Bluebirds captain received a red card for a challenge on striker Eddie Nketiah in the closing stages of their dramatic 3-3 draw at Elland Road.

Manager Neil Harris hinted he would try and overturn the decision, claiming the foul was not dangerous.

But an FA panel agreed with referee Tony Harrington, resulting in the defender receiving a three-game ban.

It means the Championship side will be without Morrison for Saturday's visit of third-placed Preston, as well the Boxing Day home fixture with Millwall and the trip to Sheffield Wednesday three days later.

Cardiff could also be without fellow centre-back Aden Flint, with the club assessing the groin injury he picked up in the draw with Leeds.

If Flint is unavailable to face Preston, it could open the door for the return of Sol Bamba who is yet to figure under Harris and has made one substitute appearance this season since recovering from the serious knee injury he suffered in March.

He went in for a tackle with 2 feet off the ground, no way was it getting overturned

if it had been back in the old days when the FAW examined appeals, then you would have had his ban overturned and the ref been dropped back 5 leagues as punishment. There was a panel of 12 with 10 being Cardiff season ticket holders. Never know how you got away with it for so long

I’m surprised they appealed as I thought there was zero chance of winning.

Does this unsuccessful appeal result in an extra match ban or was it always a 3 match ban offence?
I guess so if it was deemed violent.

I dont think we ever had a red card overturned. After all that we still got to the premier league first. You must have been shit

it was more a case of being able to burn banned games in the welsh cup than them being overturned. happened to you as well, not so often because you kept being knocked out early..

members of the FAW have traditionally been very north wales based and did favour all welsh clubs..
they might have got a bit confused with all those George crosses and them belting out rule britania though..
