Sweet FA for Hacksaw.

Philipp Degen's appeal following his red card against Fulham has been rejected, while the FA have cleared up two cases of mistaken identity.

Liverpool defender Degen was dismissed late on in the 3-1 defeat at Craven Cottage on Saturday after a lunging challenge on Clint Dempsey.
The Anfield outfit felt referee Lee Mason had been harsh on the full-back and were keen to see the offence downgraded to a caution.

But the Football Association's regulatory commission have agreed with Mason's verdict and Degen must now serve an immediate three-match suspension.

Rafa Benitez will now be without Degen's services for the Premier League clashes with Birmingham, Manchester City and derby rivals Everton.

No news on Carras' appeal though.

Did Benitez decide not to bother challenging Carraghers red ?

He did.

Think Carras suspension is just one match though. Isnt it?
