West Brom will appeal after Paul Robinson was controversially sent off in Tuesday's 5-0 defeat against Manchester United at The Hawthorns. Baggies boss Tony Mowbray said: "I've seen the sending off incident many times on the laptop in the dressing room. Mr Styles makes his decision.

"I can only comment from the angle I saw it initially. I didn't get Mr Styles' angle so I don't know what he saw.

"He thought it was worthy of a red card and we have to abide by that for the time being. From the replays I've seen, it looked like a pretty committed challenge from two players.

"I would say they both sort of slid three or four yards from the ball and collided and hit knees together. Their player sort of crumpled up and the referee came striding over and brandished his red card.

"You'll have experts all over the telly giving their opinions, some saying it was a red card, some saying it was a disgrace and some saying it was never a red card.

"It's all about opinion and the referee made his decision tonight. From his angle, he thought it was red card.

"But if the TV angles show he didn't leave the ground, he didn't show his studs and it was just an honest collision between two players going for the ball, then I'm pretty sure there will be a case to appeal it."
