According to Wiley's match report, Reina was booked with two yellow cards. One for the tackle on Gudjohnsen and the other on the incident with Robben.
Meaning that he will only miss one match rather than three.

Liverpool consider Reina appeal
Reina was dismissed after 82 minutes
Liverpool have yet to decide whether to appeal against goalkeeper Jose Reina's red card against Chelsea on Sunday.
The Spanish goalkeeper was sent off following an altercation with Chelsea's Arjen Robben, during which he placed a hand on the Dutch player's face.
Liverpool have the right to appeal because referee Alan Wiley confirmed the goalkeeper was dismissed after picking up two yellow cards.
The first came for a crude tackle on Chelsea forward Eidur Gudjohnsen.
It was as Reina was called to referee Wiley following his tackle on Gudjohnsen that the incident with Robben took place.

Robben should be banned for 3 matches, and the ref should be censured as well as millions of people saw what happened and so did he, is he stupid or what? Also the chelsea players started to rough Reina up physically, will any action be taken there? NO

you must have missed it mate, but the problem is that the rules of the game regarding what went on need to be clarified. why is it that robben will escape punishment? and why do the chelsea players get away with what they did. i think the authorities should clamp down on cheating. what robben do yesterday was a disgrace and id be ashamed if one of our lot done that

So in that case, our boys must learn how to act. One touch on any part of the body , just fall like being hit by the car.

Lets face it, the time has come for the so-called footballing authorities to drop the do Fuck All act and start to punish players and teams that are going out with the intention of getting opposing players sent-off or banned. We had the case last season of Gudjohnsen taking a dive to get alonso suspended for the second leg of the champions lge semi and then allegedly admitting he took a dive to get him suspended. Then there was yesterdays debacle with robben and the IMO disgraceful scenes of the chelsea players surrounding Reina in a very vicious and unsportsman like manner which i think is just as bad as a player going down to get another sent off.

Stu's spot on - regardless of Robben's histrionics, Reina put his hands on him, and that's the offence he was carded for. He can have absolutely no complaints about that.
I think the main point we should be getting across is that "simulation" (as the rules call it) that officials haven't picked up should be subject to the same kind of retrospective evaluation as carded offences are.
In other words, the ref should be able to look at the vid of the game, and give Robben a card for his absolutely outrageous dive. And maybe, in the long run, if it was a red card offence as opposed to a yellow, players would be less inclined to do it.

I agree - robben is a wank3r for his histrionics....it made the blood boil to see it....but somebody reminded me of a dive by Jan Kronkamp earlier today - surely that was as bad ? He won't win an oscar for it in any case...

stu_the_red has got it spot on, however the original post isn't on the BBC website. A.B. can you provide a link?
