Pompey won their appeal against Dion Donohue's red card against Doncaster Rovers.

The Blues defender was sent off in the second half of the 2-1 defeat at the Keepmoat Stadium after kicking out at Rovers substitute Niall Mason.

But yesterday the Football Association agreed to overturn the decision of match referee Martin Coy, making Donohoue available for tomorrow’s trip to Blackburn Rovers in League One.

The successful appeal came as something as a surprise to the Fratton faithful.

Here’s what fans have been saying on our Facebook page Portsmouth FC - The News and at portsmouth.co.uk...

If this is the case one assumes that the Doncaster player will now be banned for feigning an assault and ungentlemanly conduct!

Noonie Dickinson

Makes up for when Lowe was given a red card a few weeks ago for nothing.
