Tomas and Ronan will both be involved in our first game next season, Tomas will get his red card lifted if common sense prevails and Ronan Devlin will lead us in 2024.

Is there an appeal launched? Be interesting to see how they view it. I'd be extremely surprised if its not lifted.

[Would ye whist]

As much as I believe the red card should not have been given I would be extremely surprised if it were to be lifted, however I suspect a lot will depend on what is in the ref's report. If he says he believes Tomas led with the elbow or intended to lead with the elbow then it sticks, if he says hands up I made the wrong call it gets lifted

But surely with the video evidence that he didn't lead with his elbow then it should be lifted. Ref's report or not.

As I have no experience of how these things are decided, however the natural lift of the elbow after the impact I suspect would be enough for the ref to justify his decision in hindsight and the ban to stick

His report will say that he was informed by his linesman, that on his instruction the player raised/struck his elbow to the head..

As I don't think he seen it or if he did see it then he was just confirming what he's seen..

Either way once he puts in his report that's him done, he may be asked to look at it again to see if he stands over his decision or Cargin can appeal it..

I wouldn't imagine so, if the ref report states about the elbow and video evidence disproves it, this means the ref may have give the red card for a fair reason which he thought happened. But should be lifted because the ref was wrong.

Jesus time to get over the red card ...

[NorthAntrim]

I think it'll be appealed over the principle. Will Tomas start away in championship v Aldergrove or Glenravel next year. Probably not

I see Justin McMahon in to work with the Defence. Should be a good addition.
