Re: Kompany red card and appeal
the media in their self-appointed role as judge and jury have taken to inventing "rules" to suit an agenda/stance. "two feet off the ground equals red card". In that case wilshire should have gone as he jumped into VK. Two-footed tackle equals red card. Wilshire led with two feet VK had one leg forward. As the ball was nearer to VK he was claiming a loose ball as he had every right to. Wilshire was making the tackle due to losing control of the ball and pushing it to VK.
The ref was unable to judge the forward movement of VK as he was in line, he would need to be side-on to decide if there was a lunge.
In the Nani incident there was more than enough evidence to show it was not dangerous, again not even a tackle but claiming a loose ball, yet nothing made any difference to the verdict.
If the red is over-turned i will be fuckin gobsmacked.
