Locating the dismissal you want to appeal
To display all the 'Red & Yellow Cards' associated with your club you click 'Discipline' from the side menu. Select the red card you want to appeal from the list.
PLEASE NOTE: If the card you want to appeal is not on PFF you must email JudicialServices@TheFA.com to notify them of your claim before the applicable deadline. Please refer to The FA Handbook for the applicable deadlines.
Notifying the claim and starting the submission process
A countdown to the deadline to notify The FA of a claim will be displayed in the case. In order to notify The FA that a claim will be made select 'Submit Claim'.
You will be asked to confirm which claim you are lodging and confirmation of the fee should your claim be unsuccessful will be displayed.
Providing the evidence
You can now drag & drop your claim evidence files into the 'Claim Evidence' window. A timer is displayed counting down to the deadline to submit your evidence.
All uploaded evidence can be downloaded, deleted or the file name's edited prior to submission.
Submitting the claim
Once you are satisfied that all the evidence you wish to submit in support of the clearly excessive punishment claim has been uploaded and is listed in the 'Uploaded Evidence' section, you can submit your claim to the Judicial Services department at The FA by clicking 'Submit Claim Evidence'.
You will be asked to confirm that your claim is ready for submission to The FA.
If submitted correctly the claim status will display 'Pending Resolution'.
The decision
Once the claim has been determined by a Regulatory Commission the claim status will reflect whether it has been 'Upheld' or 'Dismissed' and the details of the Regulatory Commission will be displayed. A decision letter will also be available to download.
The suspension will be updated within the Penalties & Orders' section to reflect the Regulatory Commission's decision.
