       Mike Dean  AFC Bournemouth v Brighton

       Mike sent off Lewis Dunk for 2 cautions but TV has shown that
       the first yellow card should have been issued to Yves Bissouma.
       Whilst I understand that given the nature of the challenge with
       both players very close to the opponent that the mistake was one
       of those things that happen but what I find really frustrating
       as a Brighton fan is that there is no appeal against the sending
       off due to mistaken identity as it was 2 yellows. There is no
       issue with the second yellow card and had it been obvious that
       Dunk had been booked then I would not be so frustrated. However
       the yellow card was waved in the direction of several players (I
       asked my mate who had been cautioned and he did not know) and
       Dunk has also said he did not realise he had been cauioned. Had
       it been a straight red card an appeal could have been made or if
       an incident is missed a red card can be given retrospectively
       but no action can be taken for this. We would not have got
       anything from the game but we are now missing Lewis Dunk for the
       game v Arsenal on Boxing Day. As they say the law is an ass.

       As a long-standing Palace fan, I wouldn't normally say this to a
       Brighton fan, but I am in full agreement with you fatso on this
       one. Is there no right of appeal in this case or could Mike Dean
       not ask for the first caution to be rescinded because of
       mistaken identity? As you say, the law is an ass if there is no
       right of appeal. Surely Dunk would have a case for taking the FA
       to an employment tribunal on the grounds that he was being
       denied the opportunity to follow his profession (for one match)
       for something he clearly didn't do. Roll on VAR I say.

       I think it’s pretty unfortunate for the Wirral card shark in
       this situation. The contact initially was a micro second before
       Dunk appeared on the scene. There was no chance of the AR
       helping as it was the blind side.

       I can recall Paul Danson wrongly giving Gareth Roberts
       short/fair hair a second yellow rather than Ryan Taylor
       tall/dark hair. It was corrected later. Don’t see why Mike Dean
       can’t be allowed to correct the mistake (assuming he accepts it
       as such) and apply the initial booking to the perpetrator.

       Can the 1st yellow not be rescinded for mistaken identity? It
       could be if the 2nd yellow hadn't followed so that should still
       be allowed, imo anyway. Completely agree with you Fatso on the
       technique used for the 1st booking - we certainly didn't have a
       clue who it had been shown to either!

       Yes, you can claim mistaken identity for one or both cautions
       when a player has been sent off for a second caution.
       At Step 4 and above the only thing you can't do is claim
       wrongful dismissal for a sending off for a second caution - at
       Step 5 and below you also can't claim wrongful dismissal for a
       sending off for OFFINABUS.

       Fairly sure in Scotland the only time you can appeal a yellow is
       mistaken identity

       I had thought that Santa might have appeared and granted Dunk
       his wish to play v Arsenal. But no, this is Christmas Day and
       nothing happens on CD, and with only 24 hours to go until the
       fixture is played, there seems little possibility now of Dunk
       being able to take his rightful place in the Brighton team. And
       in my view, it is totally wrong that mistaken identity, combined
       with a congested fixture list and Christmas Day, should conspire
       to deprive a player of his opportunity to play in the PL  ???

       According to The Sun: the law states: "A claim of wrongful
       dismissal may be lodged only for on-field offences which result
       in a sending off, except for two cautions leading to a
       dismissal."
       So Dunk couldn't appeal and presumably didn't play v Arsenal.
       Disgraceful!

       Would this fall under the grounds of mistaken identity or just
       thinking a player had committed a foul when he hadn't? There
       seems a slight distinction between the two with the latter
       happening quite frequently.
       If the referee sees a shirt pull which is from Player X and he
       mistakenly cautions Player Y then that is obviously mistaken
       identity.
       If the referee misses the shirt pull from Player X though but
       thinks Player Y makes a body check immediately after, even if he
       actually didn't, and cautions Player Y for that then that seems
       a slightly different issue.
