Charlton have appealed against the red card issued to goalkeeper Ben Hamer yesterday (MW) bit.ly/sLPAgE#cafc
Clever. Means Hamer can play tomorrow and therefore the only game missed is away to Fulham in the cup, unless the ban is extended for a "frivolous appeal", of course.
yes it seems a tactical appeal as Sullivan had a good chance of playing against Fulham anyway. Hope the league don't make it longer - they don't like being outsmarted.
Clear goal scoring opportunity and Dave Mooney do not go in the same sentance. Can't see anyway our appeal can be delicned to be honest. As for hamer, bad mistake but not intentional. Probably not wise to be on Twitter when sat pitch side but he is young and will hopefully learn.
I'm sure it's been thought through, but I am a bit nervous about Hamer's appeal and the risk of it being extended to a second game. That second game would be a six pointer at Hillsborough and I don't fancy having Sullivan in goal for that one. A mate of mine is a Wednesdayite and he says that one of their biggest strengths is set plays - apart from Sanchez Watts ( the little forward on loan from Arsenal ), practically everyone in the team is a six footer.
I can't imagine the appeal succeeding and shall be relieved if Hamer just misses the Fulham game. That would be an excellent outcome and doubtless what the club is hoping to achieve.
For the record I have no problem with players using Twitter, the issue here is what he wrote. He's already got a one game ban, if the wrong person has seen the tweet he deleted his ban is going to be extended.
If I was a footballer, no way I'd be on Twitter! Look at the messages sent to Ben Hamer today on there. Not what he's retweeted/responded to - what's been directed @ him. Unbelievable.

norman still goes
What did he write then Mr happy man?
Let's face it a simple rush of blood, looked border line to me.
The ref was an orient fan who owns a flat above the ground so of course he was going to send him off.
Can we move on and get back to the debate on whether he should have the dog and bone out during the game...
He must be doing it today because we're losing 3-0!
