Sergio Aguero was unjustly given a yellow card for being fouled, He was effectively classed as a cheat by getting the said yellow card for simulation. This could lead to him being suspended in future times if he was to collect 5 yellow cards. This law must be changed to allow a yellow card to be rescinded retrospectively by the FA.

The volume of support has reached a level where the governing body can no longer ignore this request. I am drafting a formal proposal for the league rules committee to outline a transparent process for referee error correction.

We now live in an age where the camera captures all that happens on the field. This Referee, Mike Jones, has been dubbed as "weak" and has proven this to be the case when he was in the perfect position to see what happened but chose to defame Sergio Aguero's good character by not giving the penalty & awarding a yellow card instead. Where it is clear that an injustice has occurred, then the FA should have the powers to rescind the yellow card & restore credibility to the player.

Sometimes there are injustices.that should be addressed. A yellow card that is not only incorrect on a point of football but that also is defamation of character should be rescinded.

Why should a player be punished with a yellow card when he was innocent ? We need Referee's that are more consistent, trained to know the rules of the game, and see an optician once an year :-)

its a total disgrace, referee got it wrong, the whole country knows he got it wrong. So the yellow card should be rescinded. Then his good name continues.

the laws of the game should be reviewed and changed so that incorrect refereeing decisions can be reversed!
