Kompany red card and appeal SUCCESSFUL

[lancs blue]

Pat on the back for Mike Dean for admitting his mistake.

i don't think he did - it was the panel who overturned it?

It's quite rare for them to go against the ref's post-match opinion so to me that suggests Dean changed his mind.

Some blues fans are probably hiding in shame after Sundays "inquest" into finding Vincent guilty in advance.
One word to you. BOLLOCKS.

Those who expressed reservations were mostly based on the ref's view of it and both Vinny's feet being off the ground for a second. Although he's a superb tackler his technique is a bit risky with the current laws in place.

This is Ric's Oakie.Le Tiss also telling him to look at Komps leg tucked in under him.

Not sure what's better about Kompany decision - having our captain available for the next 3 games, or witnessing @johncrossmirror breakdown.


Another from Paul Sarahs-There used to be a time when the bias of some football writers was suspected. Now, with Twitter, there's no doubt. John Cross is a buffoon

I don't like to see Graham Poll undermined. I hope the FA have considered this :/

Re: Kompany red card and appeal

I hope the FA see sense but I doubt that very much.

the FA will back their ref and give Vinnie an extra game if we appeal, take the three games, give Lescott a run in the side and Vinnie a rest, we should be ok against Fulham and QPR, with the third game in the FA Cup.

another spineless numpty

I admit I got it wrong, the way football has been going I didn't think he'd have a chance with the FA. Great boost for the whole club for the second half of the season. We might even win it now ;-)

He was pretty shit at that when he played cricket so no chance. ;-)

The view from the side angle,which clearly showed he lead with his left foot,was shown straight after the game,on here,yet some peole still disagreed and in their opinion Dean got it correct.

Any other decision would have been ludicrous.

Football includes TACKLING and physical contact.
