That means an extra game ban doesn't it? I think it's called a frivolous appeal which is why they tack on an extra one to make clubs and players really think before they put an appeal in.
@EwanHoosaami , am sure that "frivolous" thing was more when teams would purposely appeal anything just to postpone a ban so that the player could play a certain game.
Now decisions come before the next game, i'm not sure there's such a concept anymore.
But if there were, it'd be a certainty, it was a damn awful challenge.

You can't appeal two yellows so someone was telling you porkies.
Akinfenwa dismissal cannot be appealed.
Notts player, O'connor was straight red and could be. As of now, FA website still shows him banned for three.
@bill_stickers , how did you misintepret that post? Clearly he meant the Notts County player.
Who isn't getting off that scandalous challenge in a million years.
Now confirmed on NCFC website - appeal rejected.

@Malone I wrongly read it as "The Notts Appeal" as in "The Wycombe appeal regarding their game vs Notts".
Fair does @bill_stickers .

I don't really know what they thought they would achieve by appealing.
