FA rescinds Delap red card

Stoke City’s Rory Delap has had his claim for wrongful dismissal upheld.

As a result, the three-match suspension handed to him has been withdrawn with immediate effect.

Delap had originally received a red card for serious foul play in his side’s 2-0 FA Cup Fifth Round win at Crawley Town on Sunday 19 February 2012.

Well, there's a  decision that's going to make refereeing decisions harder. How on earth to identify a dangerous challenge now? All in all a bad day for the referee.
