Birmingham midfielder Aliou Cisse has had his sending-off rescinded by referee Mike Riley following his dismissal at Arsenal on Sunday.
The Senegal captain was ordered off for a second bookable offence at Highbury following a challenge on Ashley Cole.
But after reviewing video evidence Riley has decided Cisse's challenge did not warrant a yellow card.

It was almost certain that the sending off would be replenished and it was the right thing to do. There was no intent in the tackle/block and Cole was only injured because of his follow through.
On the programme, Goals on Sunday they showed the refs position when Cisse committed the non-offence and he wasn't even looking at it he jumped to conclusions and had the red card out of his pocket before he reached the two players. I did hear someone say something about a way of checking the foul before handing out a caution again this weekend and they said it is definitely going to happen.

I thought it said in the rule book the ref actually has to see the foul or at least one of his assistants has to? If he didn't see the *foul* then he shouldn't have sent Cisse off in the first place.

Good point lalakersrule.
Speaking of rules... haven't they changed the offside rule again this season, so that there has to be "clear daylight" between the forward and last defender?
Shame they seem to have forgotten to tell the officials!

Thats what they were all saying before the Premiership started innit. But the officials did actually say they have heard nothing about it!
With these rules Van Nistelrooy should have had a goal in hungary last week.
