Crewe Alexandra have decided to appeal against Gary Roberts' red card in Saturday's defeat at Bristol City.
The 19-year-old midfielder was dismissed after retaliating to a two-footed challenge by home skipper Louis Carey.
Having reviewed a video of the incident, Alex officials insist referee Paul Crossley was wrong to show a red card to the teenager.
After the match Crewe boss Dario Gradi had said: "I was convinced the wrong man was sent off although my chairman thought both players should have seen red."
