Carr banned after Parker appeal accepted
Newcastle's Stephen Carr has received a one-match ban after team-mate Scott Parker's successful appeal against a booking in the game against Sunderland. Parker, 25, was booked for a tackle on Andy Welsh during Sunday's 3-2 win but claimed mistaken identity.
The Football Association agreed and transferred the booking to Magpies defender Stephen Carr. Carr, 29, was booked later in the game - meaning he effectively received two yellow cards - equating to a red. The good news for Newcastle is that the ban will cover up the Carling Cup game against Grimsby on Wednesday and Carr is struggiling with an injury so he probably wouldn't of featured anyway.
The decision by the FA is probably right because it certainly wasn't Parker who made the challenge on Welsh. I don't think Carr will be to bothered because he is only issing a Carling Cup game that he probably wouldn't of been playing in.
