Taggart appeal submitted

Last updated : 08 August 2005 By Rob Stanway
Having reviewed the footage from the game, Stoke have decided to lodge the appeal against Taggart's sending off.

Stoke City MAD have also reviewed the game and we believe that the sending off was very harsh. A miss-timed challenge after 13 minutes does not require a straight red card, and it is clear that there is no malice in the strong challenge.

We have also recieved numerous submittions from Wednesday fans who completely agree with us.

City desperately need Taggart back as Michael Duberry continues to recover from his leg injury. "He ran a bit on Friday, but then had to stop. There's a possibility he will come back, I don't know yet", said Boskamp today.
