Re: Kompany red card and appeal

haha you disagree? i would be very surprised if it was rescinded

Is that because you feel the ref was correct,or are you a fan from another club ?

No i'm a blue mate. As i say i don't think the ref is correct and thought it was a great tackle but Kompany gives the ref the opportunity to send him off by having both feet off the ground...so this can be taken by the officials as him being 'out of control'.

I`m just of the opinion that due to so many people supporting Vinnie,the FA could find themselves facing a backlash from the media.Perhaps a damage limitation is forthcoming from them.
Since seeing the tv replays from the side view,I am even more convinced that he will be proven not guilty.All about opinions of course mate.

Re: Kompany red card and appeal

It was never a red card and clearly should be recinded on appeal. However I was of the same opinion last season too and the FA upheld Kompany's ban so I wouldn't trust the FA to make the right and sensible decision.

I may be a touch paranoid but is it just a coincidence that this is now 2 years in a row that Kolo Toure has gone to the ACON and Kompany has been handed a lengthy ban straight away? Last season we ended up relying on Savic, this season, assuming the ban is upheld, it'll be Nastasic and Lescott, one of whom will need to play at right sided centre half which isn't ideal.

I was thinking the same thing. So frustrating to lose Kompany when we lose Yaya and Kolo as well.

Re: Kompany red card and appeal

The fact that there is a split in views on our own site says it all, it wasn't a red card, but it won't get overturned by the FA. I thought Dean had a very good game today, but maybe felt he had to even it out(all refs do, espec when sending a home player off first) I didn't expect the pen or sending off TBH, but I did expect us to miss the pen! I suppose 1 out of 3 ain't bad? LOL

Re: Kompany red card and appeal

I have actually counted how many times I have seen it on the sky coverage. Twelve - and I cant make my mind up if it was a "Red" or not but I wouldn't appeal. Its been shown from three camera angles;

1. Good tackle
2. A bit debateable
3. Both feet off the ground

The appeal panel will always go for number 3 to defend their Referee.

After reading Rammy's post about how Scum wouldn't accept this without a fight and watching MOTD 2; I have changed my mind.

Lets take the FA on.

Re: Kompany red card and appeal

As much as I don't think it was a red card, I don't think it will be rescinded either as the fact that Kompany's feet both left the ground means that the ref CAN make a decision. I wouldnt appeal it and have him back for the game against the scousers...not ideal to have no right footed cb, but with nastasic and lescott we should have enough and rekik in reserve to beat fulham and qpr. not sure about the fa cup game though, especially if stoke get through as is fast becoming a bogey ground for us

There's no reason not to appeal. The decision will be made before the Fulham game so, even if we lose the appeal, Kompany still misses exactly the same games. He'll be back for the scousers anyway.

Surely he would get an extra game ban (to make it 4) if it is not overturned? hence he would miss the Liverpool game?

There was a massive backlash after Vinnies failed appeal last year, the only difference is we were flying away with the league and had players missing, this year wer'e not, maybe the agenda wev'e all been talking about is the FA trying to keep our league going down to the wire, and we'll see with this decision!

Re: Kompany red card and appeal

Absolutely a fair tackle. We MUST take this to appeal.

I am not blaming Mike Dean he had a terrible angle to try and judge what had happened. In addition the crowd were baying for blood.

I am very confident that it will be overturned on appeal.

Re: Kompany red card and appeal

At one stage 2 feet were off the floor so there is not a chance it will get rescinded. If 2 feet leave the floor at the same time at any point then you've got no arguments. Absolutely stupid from Kompany as the ref was always going to be waiting to even it up. Needless tackle to lunge into.

im sorry but I really don't agree with this statement.
If Kompany doesn't go in for the tackle, and wilshere plays a ball that arsenal score from, who gets the blame? Kompany.
as a CB, he should have every right to go into that tackle.
he didn't lunge, he put his foot forwrd and won the ball, no malice, no nothing.
you can't say that a ref is waiting to 'even' things up. why would he? he hadn't made a poor decision to cover himself with.
just my opinion amd im not bashing you mate, just think you've wrote this while your still abit annoyed.
as for the 2 feet off the ground thing, nearly every tackle where a player goes to ground. both feet leave the floor.
both feet didn't enter the tackle in this case however.
like i said, just my opinion!
