Written reasons for the commission’s decision 👇

“The Commission noted that it is important in this case not to conflate the decision of the Referee to dismiss Lewis Myles-Skelly and the subsequent overturning of that decision with the matter at hand.
“Football matches are invariably peppered with controversial refereeing decisions and it is incumbent upon football clubs to make sure that their players accept those decisions even when their players vehemently believe that a mistake has been made by the Referee.
“As such the Commission did not consider the correctness of the Referee’s decision to send off MLS as having been a relevant consideration in terms of mitigation.”
