Balogun (USA) gets his red card overturned following an intervention from on high, Quansah (England) gets two games with no intervention, where's the fairness in this, or is there any? Frankly I despair!

It’s beyond belief!!!

We all know that the Balogun suspension of his suspension is plain wrong.

Taking that out of the picture, I wouldn't have an issue with Quansah's tackle earning a 2 game suspension... if the same precedent had been set by other SFP red cards and/or violent conduct reds... but it hasn't!

At least on the Premier and Football Leagues the susensions for red cards are known. Both Balogun and Quansah would have got three games for SFP - and both should have suffered identical "punishments" in this competition. Not necessarily three games, but the same as each other.

It might seem harsh / unfair when both challenges were not malicious. But both challenges were reckless and did endanger the safety of their opponent. The aim here is for the player to use their judgement and not make a risky challenge where SFP can be the outcome. I.e do not challenge when you should not.
