Tottenham striker Robbie Keane has criticised the Football Association´s appeal system.
Keane was sent off for a tackle on Birmingham´s Fabrice Muamba where he appeared to win the ball, but the Republic of Ireland international was not given a hearing by the FA.
"For it not to get rescinded and I didn´t even get to put my case wasn´t right," said Keane. "I don´t understand it. Are you allowed to appeal or not? If you do appeal you don´t get it - so just make a decision that you can´t appeal and that´s it. It doesn´t make sense."
