Great news for Vinnie, however, has common sense prevailed or is this yet another example of the FA being influenced by the media?
For almost the first time, 90% of the media have viewed the red card this weekend as incorrect and hey presto! It's overturned !
Tail still wagging the dog methinks !!
Great point.
Flawed logic.
Of course it was overturned! It was obvious to anyone with any sense or knowledge of
Football that it was a
great tackle, not even a foul.
Think you may have misunderstood what I'm trying to say. Yes, it was a great tackle and not even a foul, I totally agree BUT, we have seen great tackles punished before and poor decisions NOT overturned, many times. The difference I'm trying to illustrate is that this time the media came out in support and look what's happened. You just have to look at the witch hunt on NDJ following the Ben Arfa tackle (also a great tackle in my opinion) but the media went for him in a big way!
You can see why Dean gave it from where he was and that's fair enough, but 90% of the media were correct in wanting it rescinded because that's what the correct decision was! Not because of any agenda or because it "influenced" the review panel, but because it was the right fucking call!
Those saying we shouldn't even appeal need to grow some bollocks and try standing up for what they
know is right. It'd have been a travesty if it'd have been upheld and I'd have been looking for some kind of demonstration from the fans on Saturday. Now we can look forward to a demonstration from the team instead...
Come on City.
