Kompany red card and appeal SUCCESSFUL

Re: Kompany red card and appeal

We'll lose, but there's no way they can call that frivolous.
 
Re: Kompany red card and appeal

As far as I could find this is the rule
"A player who jumps into a tackle two-footed is not in control of himself and therefore if he makes contact with the player, ball and player, or if the referee determines there to be excessive malice in the challenge, he will be dismissed"

It clearly shows from the side view that it wasn't a 2 footed tackle (1 footed, he hit the ball, the other player fell over by himself and I don't think there was malice). It should be overtuned. The ref had a poor view of it. It probably won't happen though.

I don't know why they would look at any other view, side view shows what happened best. The ref was at a poor angle to see what actually happened. Not his fault you can't be in the best place at all times.

The appeal has to be frivolous which this wouldn't be. If we were playing Liverpool next and they thought we were doing it just so he could play in that, then he'd get the extra game if the card was upheld. As we risk losing him it can hardly be classed as frivolous I would have thought.
thats a bloody good point tbh

I honestly think dean will have a look and say he got it wrong as well.
 
Re: Kompany red card and appeal

All this hot air on Sky about it being a red card from different angles when one clearly shows it was not. In other sports,when they use video evidence, they look for the one example which shows that the try was scored, the ball was caught, the serve was in etc. Why on earth do we have to see three obscure angles when one shows one foot leading and winning the ball.

Unfortunately, sky want him banned, it makes for good headlines and they can milk it for a few days.

The Bassong challenge on Nasri was far worse.

Regardless of whether it was a red or not, Vinny did not need to make such a challenge and give the ref the option to send him off.
