| Cahill launches appeal against red card • Bolton defender dismissed in defeat at Emirates• 'I don't think it merited a red' says Owen CoyleThe Bolton Wanderers defender Gary Cahill has appealed to the Football Association against the red card he received in Saturday's Premier League match against Arsenal.Cahill was dismissed in the 64th minute at the Emirates Stadium for his foul from behind on the Arsenal striker Marouane Chamakh. Arsenal, who led 2-1 at the time, went on to win the match 4-1. The appeal will be held by a regulatory commission tomorrow.Bolton's manager Owen Coyle was disappointed by the referee Stuart Attwell's decision to judge the foul as a sending-off offence, saying on Saturday: "I don't think it merited a red. All of a sudden we were playing Arsenal with 10 men, and it is difficult at the best of times with 11."We had put so much into the game that at that time we looked like the team who would get the equaliser."Bolton WanderersRefereesguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds guardian.co.uk |

Further inquiries about the death were being made.Berry said: "Terry Anthony Newton was 31. He was a publican and professional sportsman and husband to Stacey Newton."Walsh said: "I am satisfied there are no inquiries which would prevent the release of his body to his family for funeral purposes."Newton, a father of two young girls, was one of the more colourful characters in the game. A hooker who played for Leeds, Wigan – his hometown club – and Bradford, he represented Great Britain 15 times, scoring three tries.
