Guiseley have successfully appealed against Rooney's red card
THE FA have upheld Guiseley AFC’s claim that midfielder John Rooney was wrongfully dismissed by the referee in Saturday’s National League derby clash with FC Halifax Town.
At a meeting of an FA Regulatory Commission held today, the members considered Guiseley’s appeal and from the evidence adduced, they ruled that it was a case of wrongful dismissal.
Guiseley's claim has therefore been successful and Rooney’s automatic suspension is withdrawn. He is now eligible to play in their next match, away to Torquay United.
