Palace ponder Davis appeal

16 October 2010 20:00
Crystal Palace may launch an appeal against the red card shown to Claude Davis in the 1-0 defeat by Millwall. Davis was dismissed for an alleged punch at the end of a game which saw Theo Robinson fire the visitors to victory. "I looked at it with Claude and their player got booked for pulling him back," said Eagles manager George Burley. "Claude was trying to move his hand to get the ball. I did not think it was a sending-off offence and I spoke to the referee and we will look at appealing it. "Claude was trying to pull their player away, it certainly was not a punch. It was a wrong decision."
