Kompany red card and appeal SUCCESSFUL

[Dubai Blue]

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As much as I don't think it was a red card, I don't think it will be rescinded either as the fact that Kompany's feet both left the ground means that the ref CAN make a decision.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?

No. Some people are hugely overplaying the possibility of his ban being extended. I don't have the exact figures but you can count on one hand the number of appeals that have been deemed as frivolous in the past.

It generally only applies to teams appealing a blatant red card simply to delay the inevitable ban so the player can play in an important game (the rags have form for doing this).

In this case the appeal decision will be before the next game so City aren't trying to manipulate the situation, and the debate that has already taken place in the media since last night proves that this was far from being a nailed-on red. Both of these mean there is no chance whatsoever of an appeal being deemed frivolous and VK having his ban extended. So City have to appeal this as we have a very strong case with no risk. In fact, I actually believe Dean himself will admit that he got this one wrong.

Re: Kompany red card and appeal

I've said it before but it needs saying again,. Two footed tackles are allowed under the law as long as the ball acts as a cushion (which it clearly did) and the player does not use excessive force (which he didn't).

Re: Kompany red card and appeal

Not certain about this, but don't the rules say something about successful appeals relating to clearly incorrect decisions? If this is the case, an appeal would likely fail, because although a red is harsh or even wrong, I am not sure it's clearly wrong. It's debatable and in the speed of the moment and from the angle Mike Dean had, I am not sure the panel would feel he clearly got it wrong.

Incidentally, I thought he had a great game apart from this. And also, I think the appeals process should be about clear refereeing errors. It would be a farce if every time someone got a red it was appealed.

You're basically right. If the panel deemed it was only worthy of a yellow card, the red card would stand. Warped logic, I know, but there you go.

However, I (and plenty of neutrals) don't even think it was a free kick, so there's definitely room for an appeal. They will usually back the referee though, so ideally we need Dean to watch the replay and admit he got it wrong.

He's not going to do that though is he
Especially if he knows he has the backing of souness and young twitcher right after the match

Re: Kompany red card and appeal

Can't imagine how the panel would deem it frivolous, so no harm in appealing.

If they won't overturn a tackle that most don't even think is a foul, then just forget the appeals process for reds.

He's a top ref who clearly doesn't give two shits what anyone thinks about him, least of all a pair of know-nowts like those two, so he might. He probably values Dermot Gallagher's opinion a lot more, and he was adamant that he had made a mistake. There's no harm in appealing though as it definitely can't be deemed frivolous.

Oh i agree mate 100% i'd appeal it
I just get the feeling if he knows its 50/50 with the pundits and press he will just stick with what his original decision.
