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The only slight worry is that Ladyman said the Refs were fuming over the card being rescinded as if effectively undermines them.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.
 
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.
