Beckham wins his red acrd appeal
David Beckham has had the red card he received in Real Madrid's defeat to Valencia on Sunday rescinded. The England captain was booked for dissent and then sent off for sarcastically applauding referee Arturo Dauden Ibanez's decision. The club appealed using video evidence to prove that Beckham's behaviour had been neither "scornful nor sarcastic".
The 30-year-old will now be free to play for Real against Deportivo la Coruna on Wednesday. It was the second time Beckham had been sent off in a month after his dismissal for England against Austria.
Good news for both Beckham and Real but I'm not sure that the appeal should have been accepted, because they say that they recinded the second yellow saying that the applause was not aimed towards the ref but I really think it was.
