Hopefully we can appeal his red card and imminent 2 match ban, and get it increased to a 22 match ban.

Hopefully it’s escalated to a custodial sentence.

Allegedly they’re appealing it on the grounds that he’s “good for Wales” as that excuses anything he does wrong.

Are they all on hippy crack down there?
Appeal that? Man alive. A couple of milliseconds either way and the Bristol lad breaks his leg!

In fact I challenge anyone to name 3 players who have been consistently better ? Yes, I know it a 'tallest dwarf' contest to some extent but just try doing it.

Bruno Martins Indi, Shaqiri, Butland, Lee Grant, Pieters, Etebo, Ndiaye, Arnautovic, Zouma. All better than Allen for the duration of their time here together week in, week out. And that’s just off the top of my head.

Sticking the boot into a footballer who has done good things at this club and has never given less than 100% but is going through a sticky patch at the moment is quite quite dismal and reflects on nobody but the people doing it.

Fair enough but it is also the case that he shouldn’t be starting. After yesterday, Badou is clearly the best CDM, Ince and Clucas look well suited to the wider roles in the diamond in front of a back 5 and Powell, Etebo, Duffy or a second striker should all start before Alllen at the tip of the diamond.

Terrible decision to review. He threw himself in, foot off the ground for a challenge he absolutely didn't need to make. More chance of them extending for a frivolous appeal.

It seems that the majority are starting to see the poor basic skills he possesses. I and a few others were calling it soon after he arrived. Its far from a sticky patch

As someone said earlier the one decision the ref got right all day.
In respect to Allen he’s a good pro who try’s his best, never bleats and never brings any negative headlines. The biggest problem is he’s not playing well and should have been sold / dropped a while back. Right now there should be 4 CMs ahead of him in the pecking order Etebo, NDaiye, Woods and Clucas. Like Butland he got a very easy ride back into the side after being dropped.

Absolutely no defence, shit first touch as normal, dreadful lunge, clear red. In fact, if I were Bristol I'd be pushing for a purple card and a 10 game ban. Awful challenge all of his own making again.

Ridiculous challenge for an experienced player to make in that area of the pitch . Can't see any appeal working , will be deemed out of control.

No way can we appeal that unless we really want the ban extended. I have nothing against Joe's effort but it needs channelling in the correct way. If he'd used his head he'd have withdrawn from the challenge as it was their penalty area. I could forgive him if it was on the edge of our area. I also wonder if being captain made him even more pumped up and determined to carry the battle to the opposition. I think he really wants to fight for Stoke but someone needs to talk to him and get him to be a bit more controlled in the way he does this. The sending off has always been on the horizon the way he plays - when he loses the ball he always flies into a challenge to win it back. Perhaps learning how to control the ball over the weeks he won't be playing would help.

I'm gonna hold my hands up here because I thought the ref made an awful decision sending Allen off and even after showing the replay I wasn't convinced. But that still picture clearly shows his studs quite high on Brownhill. Sorry Joe but that is a red card and appealing will overturn that decision.
