I thought var had effectively made the review panel redundant. not so, apparently:
Quote:
If video evidence clearly shows that a player has committed a dismissal offence that was not seen at
the time it occurred by the match officials, or reviewed in time by VAR, The FA may take retrospective
disciplinary action.
Retrospective action was originally introduced to address ‘off-the-ball’ incidents of violent conduct or
serious foul play that were committed out of the match officials’ eye line and to put the player in the
same position as if the incident had been seen at the time.
It has since evolved to include acts of violent conduct that happen secondary to a challenge for
the ball where the match officials were concentrating on the challenge for the ball, or if the match
officials’ view of the incident meant that they did not have the opportunity to make a decision on the
specific act of misconduct.
Whilst increased use of VAR may reduce the number of incidents where retrospective disciplinary
action is possible or required because incidents ‘not seen’ by the match officials can be reviewed at
the time, The FA may still initiate proceedings if it believes there may be a case to answer.

however, there is £#%&! all chance of it and it won't give us back three points anyway.
