Rarely do bans get overturned. Even rarer is then going up.

I would suggest that challenging 2 bans would be chancing your arm. Why didn't that make it frivolous? Does wanting to play in the next match mean something different to CAS and Watts challenging his ban?

Very strange goings-on.

I get that but to appeal means that there has to be grounds. That being either the wrong grading or an excessive punishment.

To penalize a person and club for being unhappy is petty.
