Moyes disappointed by FA over Cahill ban

Posted October 4, 2008 11:00:00

Everton manager David Moyes says he is disappointed by the Football Association's decision to uphold Australian international Tim Cahill's three-match suspension.

Cahill was sent off for a tackle on Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso in the 2-0 Merseyside derby defeat last weekend, a decision which Everton appealed.

"Losing Tim is a big setback because I think it was wrong," Moyes said.

"It wasn't a tackle that warranted a red card. There's no doubt about that."

Everton, struggling in the Premier League and knocked out of the UEFA Cup mid-week, will be without Cahill for its next three league matches against Newcastle, Arsenal and Manchester United.
