Glovers win Guyett appeal
17 Apr 2007 - 16:30:33
Yeovil Town defender Scott Guyett has had the red card he was handed in the match against Bristol City rescinded.
He had been sent off for a rash challenge on City forward Enoch Showunmi but the FA's disciplinary commission has confirmed that it was a case of wrongful dismissal.
"We got together on Monday morning to see if we could appeal against the sending off decision, and fortunately we've been vindicated," Glovers boss Russell Slade told the club's official website.
"To be fair to the referee, Mike Dean, he put his hands up and knows that he made a mistake, and has done something about it.
"He was happy for it to have been deemed as wrongful.
"Having lost Terry Skiverton, at least now we have a Scotty Guyett available, which is very important."
