It’s certainly not a great boost for his ego in general. He had already earned himself a red card 18′ into his first game this season, so this was probably an insult to injury to his desire to settle in to the club.

@ ursus arctos –

a good confidence boost for Beauchamp, I’m sure!

Imagine if this happened in a Neville / Wes Brown scenario. Neville just looked TERRIBLE yesterday…

I have no real idea of the relative merits of the two players, but it would be humourous if Aalborg decided not to appeal because they would rather be without Beauchamp than Jakobson.

It will most certainly be reversed, but will the correct party then get the suspension?

Definitely part of it, though it seems that in this case, Trefoloni was betrayed by his linesman, who insisted that Beauchamp was the culprit. Unsurprisingly, Trefoloni took his colleague’s word over that of Jakobson (who seemed perfectly willing to walk), but may not be so quick to do so the next time they are paired.

I expect it to be reversed if AAB appeals.

Don’t want to admit their own mistake?
