FA set appeal deadline for red-card duo

George Boateng and Didier Zokora have until 1pm today to lodge an appeal against their red cards at White Hart Lane last night.

The duo were sent off by referee Mark Halsey for their part in a confrontation which sparked a large-scale shoving match towards the end of Tottenham’s Premiership clash with Middlesbrough, which the hosts won 2-1.
