West Ham to appear before FA tribunal to dispute Andy Carroll ban



West Ham United will appear before a Football Association tribunal in a challenge to the three-match suspension given to Andy Carroll.
The Hammers immediately appealed against the red card given to Carroll by referee Howard Webb after his clash with Swansea City defender Chico Flores in their 2-0 win last weekend.
The ban was upheld by the FA's three-man appeal body and the striker is scheduled to miss West Ham's away game with Aston Villa on Saturday, as well as the home fixtures with Norwich and Southampton.
But West Ham continune to dispute the decision and will go to an FA tribunal on Friday to challenge it.
A club statement said: "The club is concerned that the regulatory commission did not apply the correct test under the rule, and denied the club procedural fairness.
"The club has no intention of taking the issue to the courts, but simply seeks a fair determination of its rights under the FA's rules."
