So Chelsea requested that Costa's yellow card be revoked, as it was clearly not a yellow card.
FA have obviously rejected the call to rescind the booking, but is it time there was some kind of panel to review these patently obvious mistakes from officials?
Not only did Chelsea miss out on a penalty, the Burnley defender misses out on a potential red card but now Costa has a yellow card against him.
How is this fair play?

Looked quite clear to me, even from the first view at full speed.

I think a Club could be entitled to appeal a yellow card, but that should they fail the player automatically receives another to his sentence- that could prevent people from wanting every single one reviewed and leave the FA to deal with the one's Clubs are confident in?

I thought he dived. Dont blame the ref for thinking the same.

I was only thinking the clear cut cards, the Fletcher card versus Arsenal in the semi-final is a good example.

The problem is who decides to appeal? If it is the club then it will never work.
I feel it should be a decision made by a independent panel such as one that reviews ref performance and they should only apply to obvious clear as day ref error.

Maybe it should be down to an official to say, okay, I got that one wrong?
It would give the officials far more respect from the players and public, plus take huge amounts of pressure off them.
Then this leads into the fact that if an official admits a mistake, his marks get dropped and he isn't picked for big games.
The whole system is a it of a farce really

And if that independent fails panel to review a card which some feel was wrong, they will be accused of all kinds of bias.
Unworkable imho.

To be suspended you need what 4 or 5 bookings? You might get one dodgy booking but not 5. If you end up getting suspended, you probably deserve it.

Definitely time for the FA to look at this.
It's actually absurd that yellow cards can't be rescinded.
Is there a single good reason why they shouldn't be? I can't think of one.
