Should we appeal the red card?

Suppose we can be thankful they didn't punish us further by increasing the ban...
Think a few have said they can't do that anymore. Or at least not for a "frivolous appeal". Assume they still can if they think the offence was worse than it was but unlikely anyone would view that one as violent conduct!
 
The last action by Fry was a push which lead to Stewart going down in the direction of the push.

Happened just outside the box by a fraction. Could be prevented a goal scoring opportunity and a red but no penalty. But it was so close to the line I can see why both the red card and penalty was given.
Outside the box by a fraction of a mile, maybe, but we'll outside. VAR would have overturned the penalty 100%.

It might have done based on the position of the foul but it wasn't clearly and obviously not a foul so the red card would have still stood. Hence the rejection of the appeal.

As I said earlier, I can't see a foul when looking at the footage BUT I can't see enough evidence to say it wasn't a foul. I just hope that the referee has had his feedback and been told that at very best the red card was dubious and the penalty was a definite error.

It was worth asking the question I suppose, nothing lost.
