Woodhouse loses red card appeal

Last updated : 26 January 2002 By Brian Cartlidge

After viewing a video of Woodhouse's challenge on The Lion's Matt Lawrence during the recent 1-1 draw at the New Den, an F.A. panel said that "they see no reason to investigate the matter any further."

Woodhouse will now be automatically banned for three games.

He will miss Blues' next game away at West Brom on Tuesday 29th January, the home game with Crewe on Saturday 2nd February and the game being shown live on ITV Digital away at Bradford City on Sunday 10th February.
