As a referee, when choosing to give a red card for Denying of an Obvious Goal-Scoring Opportunity, it is required to meet 4 categories. These are called the "Four D's".

Distance to the Goal- Is it at the halfway line or close to the goal.

Distance to the Ball- How close is the attacking player to the ball.

Direction of Play- What way/direction is the ball going

Defenders- Is he the second to last or last defender (a goalie counts as a defender here)

When this happened on Saturday, I immediately told my family that it wasn't a red card and they laughed like crazy. But I explained it and then they shut up. They ref as well, so they understood. The foul clearly meets 3 of the D's, but to me, it does not meet the direction of play category. He took a big touch straight to the side directly away from the goal.

Now this point in arguable, because you could say he would have gotten the ball and shot it from there no matter what direction the ball is going, but that's a difficult one. So as I told my family after it happened, I think he will get it rescinded and play this Sunday.

If he gets it rescinded, the most frustrating part is that we had to play a man down for most of the second half. I don't think we deserved to be a man down at all.

I hope you are right but Im not hopeful

Thibaut Courtois: Chelsea appeal against goalkeeper's dismissal

Chelsea's appeal will be heard by the Football Association on Tuesday.

If it fails, Courtois' expected one-match ban would see him miss the trip to last season's runners-up Manchester City on Sunday.
