Four Match Ban for Douglas

In a quite baffling move, Swindon Town decided to appeal the straight red card Jonathan Douglas received during the first half of Town's 1-1 draw with Millwall.

Douglas went in hard of Jimmy Abdou but replays suggest that the red was harsh.

However, we all know that these appeals are rarely won. We also all know that if such appeals are lost then an extra match is slapped onto the suspension.

So guess what has happened? That's right, we've lost our influential midfielder for FOUR GAMES. Great!

Douglas will be in the stands for...

Hartlepool United (CCL1 - Home)
Norwich City (CCL1 - Away)
Tranmere Rovers (CCL1 - Away)
FA Cup 1st Round
