Re: Kompany red card and appeal

No chance in hell of it getting overturned.
Accept it and move on.

No! And I'm glad we're not.

Re: Kompany red card and appeal

Not a red to me. Komps has no forward momentum. He basically lets himself fall to the floor with ONE foot forward. When you fall that way you almost automatically have at one point both your feet off the ground. This is however not dangerous. Having both feet off the ground is dangerous only if you have some forward momentum, since then you a) lose control over the tackle and b) the full impact of your tackle is delivered through your feet.

Oh, and he had the ball...

Maybe we should appeal!

If that is not conclusive evidence that it should be rescinded, the FA are a bunch of idiots! Oh!

I honestly think dean will have a look and say he got it wrong as well.

So do I.

I doubt we will get it rescinded, though I also doubt the ban will be increased if we do appeal, as I do think there are grounds for an appeal.

The FA does like to back its referees.

Any appeal should be based on refereeing inconsistency.The Vinny tackle at Norwich when he set up the second goal was almost identical but no action was taken.

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.

Were as if it was a utd player you would have a constant loop of the incident being shown,with ex rag players being rolled out every hour claiming the ref has blundered and the fa should overturn it..

One of the few refs I trust to actually do this if I'm being honest.

Never a sending off.


Someone needs to send the ref and the FA this picture - sky pundits souness and redknap saw it from this angle and wern't sure. No wonder souness was a rubish manager

Even so Kompany needs to stop tackling head on in this way or another ref will see it the same and he'll end up off again for no reason.
