The disciplinary panel were just out to prove a point with regards a perceived leniency towards Leeds this season. It was never likely to stick on appeal and good on Leeds for persuading Burgess to challenge the decision.
Unusual for them to persue an appeal, perhaps they felt they had nothing to lose and were short on forwards this week. Just a thought.

Perhaps but seeing as the disciplinary panel appear incapable of consistency between any two judgements normally anyway and the appeal panel consists of different members, the Leeds player nearly always takes the cautious approach and accepts the verdict. Of course the appeal panel have the discretion to increase the ban also.
