I really hope you're right, and I do get this side of the argument. I just fear there will come a time when we feel very aggrieved over an incident but also feel unable to appeal it because of the possibility of increased punishment. It will be interesting to see who, if anyone, tests the water with an appeal this season. We always feel we have a genuine case with these things, but the panel rarely sees it that way. As Just Browny said earlier, it will probably end up where you just have to accept the ruling and move on, unless you find yourself in a 'nothing to lose' situation, where a player would miss a final, for example.
