Chris Herd has has his red card rescinded leaving him free to play on Sunday.
Good news as I thought he was having a decent game up to the point Dowd decided to ruin the game and hand a win to west brom.
Have to admit, I thought he stamped on him and olson pushed his foot off. It appears olson held his foot and Chris tried to free himself although, I did only catch the very last part of it.
Just hope Woy fwom west bwom dont ask for Huttons tackle to be looked at again.
Herd vindicated

As an impartial, unbiased Blues fan I think this is actually the correct decision. Good on the FA for once.
It's a shame the refs aren't required to explain their desicions at the end of a game. Or during it like in Rugby, at least then the crowd have half a clue why they make strange choices and give weird free kicks.

It was a crazy decision and I don't think they could ever justify it.
Agree about Herd though, I thought he looked promising during his time on the pitch, and I hope he goes straight back into the team.

Yeh but it's a bit late now isn't it?
I'm sure the FA won't be awarding Villa three points or ordering a replay will they?

It often evens out. We should have been down to 10 men at that point anyway.
