Bluebirds appeal against6 McPhail red card

Cardiff City have appealed against Stephen McPhail's red card in last night's hard earned 1-0 Championship victory at Reading.



The midfielder and former captain was sent off for the fifth time in Cardiff City colours - this time for serious foul play but Dave Jones is disputing that.


"It looks harsh, his foot is up but so is the other guy's but there's no contact." said DJ.


Ref Paul Taylor has agreed to reconsider the decision and the club are preparing a DVD of the McPhail incident for the Welsh FA disciplinary panel to review.


Jones added, "It's one of those challenges, the ball's up in the air, he knows the player's going to hook it on. It was a yellow card at best. I've asked Paul Taylor to have a look at it again, but we have to appeal before he can do that. He said to me that all of the people he didn't want to send off, it was Stephen McPhail. So I asked him not to send him off them but he has done it."
