“I don’t want to say too much on how I feel about the Welsh FA at the minute because I would probably get into trouble,” said an angry Legg.

“But I find it petty that they will not consider my case when even the referee who sent me off was prepared to look at the situation.”

Legg received his marching orders for violent conduct in the match at Halifax on February 20 after kicking out at opponent Steve Kerrigan.

He insisted he did not make contact with the player and, after the game, match referee Paul Danson, of Leicester, said he was willing to look at a video of the incident

City decided to appeal and asked the Football Association of Wales to send the film to the referee.

But after viewing the video, FAW secretary-general David Collins ruled there were no grounds for an appeal to a disciplinary commission.

Legg, a revelation in his new sweeper’s role, will miss Tuesday’s home game against Leyton Orient and the matches at Lincoln and Shrewsbury.

“I believe I had a good case for getting the ban reduced to one match or perhaps a fine. The club felt the same way,” he said.

“I could have been done for intent because I lost my head and did intend to kick him.

“But I stopped myself from doing so, and the lad showed no reaction whatsoever. The referee told me he was prepared to look at the video and the club paid the appeal fee.

“It was no skin off the Welsh FA’s nose to let the referee see the video, but they refused to do so.

“They haven’t helped me one little bit. I must serve a three-match suspension for violent conduct when I didn’t actually make contact.
