UEFA have kicked out a ridiculous appeal against Kemar Roofe’s four match ban for his red card against Slavia Prague.
Soon after being put on as a substitute the former Leeds United striker sunk his boot into the face of the Slavia keeper.
Roofe showed no sympathy or concern for the stricken keeper as he was red carded, after being given five minutes treatment the keeper was stretchered off with a fractured skull.
Showing their usual lack of respect for footballing authorities the Ibrox club appealed against a four match ban but tonight UEFA announced:
The UEFA Appeals Body has announced the following decision:
Decision:
The appeal lodged by Rangers FC has been dismissed. Consequently, the UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body’s (CEDB) decision of 13 April 2021 is confirmed.
The CEDB had decided to suspend Rangers FC player, Mr. Kemar Roofe, for four (4) UEFA club competition matches for which he would be otherwise eligible, for dangerously assaulting another player.
Most observers would say that Roofe got off very lightly with a four match ban.
