This is because they haven't changed their decision, but simply corrected an error in procedure. The decision still remains that a player deliberately handled the ball, but the incorrect application of the law has been corrected. | |

Imagine a referee gives a penalty kick for a careless trip in the penalty area. If one team crowd the referee and state "but he didn't touch him", the referee is not going to change their mind, and is not permitted in law to change their mind. The referee cannot change a decision based on the advice of a player. | |

However, why would the referee caution for unsporting behaviour when the behaviour they're engaging in is covered more specifically by any one of the other offences? | |

| Jan 13, 2017 at 0:36 | comment | added | Nij♦ | The question says "can the players make a case and force the decision to be changed", and the answer is clearly "no, they do not have any right to appeal, and they do not have any ability to force a change in decision". | |
| Jan 12, 2017 at 13:15 | comment | added | Ben Miller | It looks like the law you've cited says that a referee can change a decision if he realizes that it is incorrect. So, isn't the answer: Yes, a card can be reversed, and yes, a player could theoretically talk a ref into realizing the card was a mistake? | |
