Iain Hume was injured during an off the ball incident by Chris Morgan during our game with Sheffield United at Oakwell on the 8th November. Despite the use of an elbow by Morgan, which led to Iain receiving a fractured skull, the referee only awarded a yellow card to Morgan. The FA despite the feelings of the wider football community, failed to make this an exceptional case and have hidden behind a FIFA directive that states that yellow cards cannot be upgraded to a red.

Barnsley Fans call for a change in the rules so that yellow cards can be upgraded and will be petitioning the FA and FIFA for a change in the rules and asking for both organisations to review this incident.

 

Send a "Let's Give Elbows the Redcard!" postcards to Sepp Blatter, your favourite football writer, your club chairman. Suggested addresses can be found here.

 

 

Contact your local MP and ask them to sign Eric Illsely's early day motion in the house of common's.
A special thank you to Doddy for keeping pushing when I was away as well
