Kompany red card and appeal SUCCESSFUL

Re: Kompany red card and appeal

For me, not a red card, but I have been given the luxury of countless replays. There is one replay that showed it from the refs angle, and it did look like a 2 footed challenge, but everyone else that saw the 4 or 5 other replays knows that it wasn't. Yes, two feet left the ground, but only one of them went for the ball, the other was trailing underneath him. Appeal, see what happens. If we win, justice is done, if we lose, move on and concentrate on the next game.

When do we find out the result of the appeal?

Hanen and Schmikes in agreement on MOTD2. Never a red card.

Joke of a decision and football is fooked if the FA don't reverse the decision.

Quite right too.

Re: Kompany red card and appeal

As an aside, I've said a few times that I think Mike Dean is the best ref in the league and today's mistake doesn't change that for me, from his angle the challenge looked a lot worse than it was, although I obviously hope he reviews it and comes to his senses.

Just had a look at a rags forum and they universally hate him, that should tell you all you need to know. He is the best because he doesn't pander to dickheads like them and calls it as he sees it.

Good ref. One bad decision today though.

Ref was under a lot of pressure today after the Arsenal sending off but for me great tackle not even a card if anything Kompany was fouled, well worth the appeal no way it could be considered frivolous.

I agree. (I still think he looks like Jasper Carrot!)

Re: Kompany red card and appeal

Mancini said he'll appeal it, what are the odds of it being overturned?

About 50/50 for me.

Hopefully common sense on behalf of City will prevail, the next three fixtures are winnable quite easily without him, no need to twist imo. What we don't want is a four match ban, there's footage that shows Mike Dean say "two footed" when both feet leave the ground you lose control and are reckless. Take it on the chin Vinny and get that calf injury right.

Re: Kompany red card and appeal

As the panel is not always the same three people, it's a lottery. But they allowed Delap's appeal for the tackle at 0.50 of this, so if that wasn't a frivolous appeal, Vinny's surely shouldn't be... (unless the FA is corrupt of course)...

Re: Kompany red card and appeal

Perfectly good tackle.
Never a red.
Should be rescinded.

End of discussion.

In a nutshell Si.
