Such a frustrating day today!
Real time I thought it was never a red.. But after watching the replay think it's 50-50 so can't have too many complaints
Such a shame because we'd have buried them with 11v11
O well we've been flying recently lets get 3 points Monday then all will be forgotten!
At least we'll have a fresh lundstrum for the run in..

There is no way that red will be overturned It's a sending off. Getting the ball is irrelevant. Take your medicine Quite right. Only the yellow blinkers on here see people saying it's not a red. I would argue that as a red for any team. The anger shouldn't be at the ref but at Lundstram for committing such a ridiculous challenge. He now misses the Wembley game as a result. Stupid, stupid thing to do.

I spoke to Lunny at half time and he was really down, hoped that there would be an appeal. Mapp has confirmed that there will be an appeal and, from my view, I believe fully justified. It was not a red card at all. Yellow, maybe if the ref truly believed that no contact with the ball was made but, he played the ball, was not off the ground, did not go in two footed and the player feigned his injury long enough to convince the ref that it was more serious than it appeared.
The lad has got friends and family coming down for Wembley, we have a promotion run in to take care of, does anyone really believe that this was a malicious act of revenge for a tackle months ago in a game where we trashed the opposition? Come on!
Worst outcome of the appeal would be that the 3 match ban stands, anything else would be a complete travesty. It should be that the card is rescinded.

You could see it was a red before he even made contact. Don't know where in the ground you were sat but your position gave you the wrong perception.

From the highlights look where the ref is as I believe his view of the tackle is obscured by a player and also what is interesting is that the linesman doesn't even flag for a foul. That with their manager saying it wasn't a red must be in our favour. I live in hope.

I thought we were awful today. Yes, I know we only had ten men, but we were hapless.
The sending off might have been borderline yellow/red, but what a stupid challenge - and then MacDonald goes and does something very similar later on. Brainless.
Even in the first 17 minutes we looked pretty disorganised. All match we found retaining the ball impossible, shooting was a real rarity - 2 on target and one of those was a missed penalty! Wright looked like a man who hadn't played in quite a while, Mullins found it impossible to stay in his right back slot. Arguing over the penalty? Shocking - get that sorted as soon as you like Appleton! Players seeming to never look where they were hitting clearances to, movement off the ball negligible, little repetitive triangles on the touchline that never went anywhere - the list goes on.
Finding a way to scrape a draw against a very poor Stevenage side has no plusses for me. Let's hope they put it right on Monday. It will have to be without Lundstram though, he doesn't have a snowball's chance of winning that appeal.

Just had a look at the penalty yes it was on footed but i think the ref didnt have much option but had to issue red, But on the other hand the keeper must be a least a couple of feet in front of the goal as Sercs was about to hit the penalty

That with their manager saying it wasn't a red must be in our favour. I live in hope. Having just seen the highlights for the first time there's no chance of any appeal going our way. Any neutral will see it the same as the ref. Reckless challenge, both feet imo, ref's seen it at real time and given the only decision he could. Doesn't matter if he got the ball. If that'd been against us we'd be calling for their player to be sent off. It's a real shame for Lunny to miss Wembley but if the FA let him off I will drive him there myself.

You make a good point - Oxford never got started, not even remotely got started today. I think that contributed to Lunny's ill judged tackle - he was frustrated as we were unable to get decent possession in midfield and the team just could not get going today. Yet another frustrating match at home in front of a decent and expectant crowd.

Think Waring was a loss holding the ball up, especially when we lost lunny. And ruffles could have come on sooner, we had a lot of player up top, but with only sercs in the middle, and Mullins and skarz not bombing forward we had no one to get the ball to them.

I thought we would have had a right go at them for the first twenty minutes to force an early goal. We looked jaded, and will need to be much sharper at the Abbey on Monday to get anything. I've heard they try and play football so that might suit us

They are wasting their time with an appeal. He deserved a red, I hope Lundstram apologised to all his teammates after the game because he dropped them in it.
Today at least showed there was no evidence of players being wilting violets as per previous seasons.
Hylton should play in midfield after that showing. He had a very good game. We missed the pace of COD and Kenny though.
I am fed up to the back teeth with games against nondescript clogging hammer throwers from dreary dormitory towns. I did rate their forward Harrison though.

I've heard they try and play football so that might suit us I don't think the sending off made any difference to the game. We didn't force a single save from their keeper whilst we had 11 a side. Same as with 10 men. They were so bad we didn't even need 11 players. Other than the goal, I remember just one chance they should've put away in 90 minutes. We were worse though! Our first shot on target was the pen! Terrible performance all round. We are way too slow and predictable with the ball, making it easy for teams to get back behind the ball and stunt our attacks. The one time in the game we actually moved the ball quick we Scored! Terrible team selection with Bowery coming in for wearing. We looked so much better with him linking play up top and actually winning a header ffs. It might not be his game but jumping around in front of the man... Please stop it. The pen was absolutely dog #*+@ my mum would've saved it. Bring back rob Duffy! We could sub him on to take the pen then back off again :-)

Penalty should have been retaken, keeper ran way off his line.

What so we could miss it again ;-) Still it should be retaken whether we miss again or not is irrelevant, The laws of the game state the keeper must stay on the line and if he repeated the offence it would be a yellow card so there keeper would have been sent of.
