Kompany red card and appeal SUCCESSFUL

[City_Sean]

what the hell is this?

scroll down to the bottom, 5 instances of Kompany's tackling horrors????

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...-Kompanys-tackling-trouble--Martin-Keown.html

That article has come from a very bitter man who is still crying over Sunday's defeat. He said Koscienly should never have been sent off, the man is deluded. Them pictures of Kompany's tackle are all normal. What a sad pathetic article.

i agree mate, keown is as bitter as it gets.

According to the papers, the only way these decisions get over turned is if the panel find that the ref made an "obvious error".

Which there was

No there wasn't,as many pundits and 'experts' stated.

It was a challenge very much open to interpretation and thankfully the panel decision was the right one for us and football IMO.

The only slight worry is that Ladyman said the Refs were fuming over the card being rescinded as if effectively undermines them.
Lets hope they're men enough to take it on the chin and not exact any petty revenge.

Dosnt bode well for next 16 games, refs revenge on City, will it happen?
Personally i dont think so, apart from the obvious clowns our refs are fair minded... i hope

One thing strikes me about this whole affair.

The person in the very best position to comment on what was obviously a good tackle never said a word.....yes....Mr. Wiltshire himself......what a little s***. At least he could have come out after the game and supported Kompany as nearly all the other players and pundits did.

I don't think that's fair on Wilshere. I don't think I've ever known of a player to hold his hands up and say that he was tackled fairly after a player has been sent off; especially less than a week after the incident.

Wilshere might be a little shit that beats up people outside of nightclubs, but you can't expect him to come out in defence of Kompany. You have to remember that footballers can only talk when a reporter or microphone is nearby.

One thing I'll say is, it didn't exactly hurt to have MOTD on our side. Seems like the media may have a huge influence on these types of decisions.

Doesn't hurt that Vinny is well liked either.

Just heard the news, I'm Glad that its was successful...........

I think Kompany's reputation positively precedes him in the way that Balotelli's reputation doesn't serve him well. I used to think the Premier League needed more extravagant personalities like Balotelli, but what it actually needs is people like Kompany - who are well-mannered, excellent footballers that aren't boring.

Kompany has never been seen as a reckless player and is a favourite among all football fans because of his ability and intelligence. Not to mention that he's the perfect role model - off the field he's stayed away from the cameras, married a girl that enjoys staying in the Manchester area, had a couple of children and he always make a good showing of himself when he appears on TV. On the field I don't think anyone can deny his leadership qualities. Even the United fans I speak to say that if they had to have one City player in their team, they'd have Kompany over everyone else.

I don't think the only blood in his system is blue, because he still has an affectionate thought of Anderlecht every now and again, but I don't doubt his commitment to the club and haven't done since the day he was made captain. He believes in the armband and he believes in the club. For those reasons I can see him staying at the club for a long time - maybe until he retires.

Irani is going to go mental in the morning. Brilliant

They shouldn't take it so personally. It doesn't undermine them, and any refs that think that way are drama queens.

Mike Dean saw it from where he was, thought it looked like a bad lunging tackle with 2 feet, so he showed the red card. I assume the panel saw it from multiple angles, decided it was not a bad tackle, and so rescinded the card. From what I have read it seems like most people could see that from Dean's perspective it looked worse than it was, but was in fact a fair tackle.

 

[i kne albert davy]

Just seen ex Rag Robson,claiming it was never a sending off and he feels the art of tackling is slowly being removed.
Fair point he made also,that 30 years ago that would have been deemed as a great tackle from VK.

Don't know about 30 years ago but it was a great tackle 2 days ago.

Saw this on Newsnow.com
The link headlined :

"Crushing blow for City as Kompany red card is set to stand - meaning skipper will have to serve three-match ban"

Their joy obviously turned sour and then they removed the page when the decision was announced. They must have been crying into their laptops.

There was, it wasn't even a foul.

 

[spacecadet]

Great news- thought the Keown column on Daily Mail this morning with a series of pictures of VK tackles was a fuckin' disgrace. My comment wasn't published as you can imagine.

It didn't involve 'excessive force' or 'endanger the safety of an opponent' either so two more "obvious errors".

 

[DonJulio]

The key to all of this is that a player (Garcia?) was screening Dean's view at the crucial moment of impact, so he saw Kompanygo to ground from a similar angle as the camera (looked like 2 feet) and the collision.

Surely Dean would be first to admit that he'd seen it wrong.

im even more convinced this league is corrupt now.

theres no way they would want those twats running away with the league after last years viewing figures.

yes im over the moon justice has been done but a part of me thinks if we were 7 points in front of the rags the decision might of been different.

of course all this could be bollox lol

Wait a sec, you're upset that the FA made the right call, when they could have potentially banned our captain for 4 matches and let them lot walk the league?!

RAG

come on read the fucker again!

me a rag? lol been watching city for 48 fucking years.

although i did have an uncle that played for the fuckers

Paddy?

Happy as I am to see this rescinded, I sense that he'll need to tread carefully in the coming weeks, as the spotlight will be firmly on him. It's all rather reminiscent of the furore surrounding Nigel de Jong and his tackling style, back in 2010.

Watch out especially for the games with Wigan, Everton & Newcastle ;)

That was terribly cryptic and I had to go and see who we played following that run. ;-)
