It's not 'for once' though, is it?

Pablo's was overturned in the same fixture two seasons ago. Of course there are people, powerful people, who want to see us fail, but perhaps we should all remember moments such as this when trying to claim the whole World is against us.

Much of it is, but there are many who can see which way the wind is blowing too.

That's true - I'd forgotten about Zab's being rescinded. On the flip side, we've had a fair few retrospective bans handed down in recent years - SWP at Stoke being one of the most ridiculous. I'll add that I think a lot of it depends on the ref involved - some just can't seem to admit they made a mistake but Dean seems to be one of the better ones on that score.

I'm not big into the agenda thing but sometimes things happen that leave you wondering. As you say, it's more down to individuals in positions of authority that have it in for us rather than whole organisations themselves.

Re: Kompany red card and appeal

Great news for Vinnie, however, has common sense prevailed or is this yet another example of the FA being influenced by the media?
For almost the first time, 90% of the media have viewed the red card this weekend as incorrect and hey presto! It's overturned !
Tail still wagging the dog methinks !!

Great point.
 
Re: Kompany red card and appeal

Excellent.

I do think the pundit opinion helps, although it shouldn't. If there is a consensus it's wrong, it may put pressure on the FA.

How are the Arsenal Tarquins reacting on Twitter ? There must be some Chateauneuf du Pape getting hammered right now.
 
Re: Kompany red card and appeal

So no more jumping in or giving that impression, please, Vinnie. You're the best centre half in England, if not the world, and so just stand your ground when at all possible. Thank you and carry on. ;)

And some people on bluemoon were saying that we shouldn't appeal.

The thing was it was always going to be appealed as there was enough doubt, meaning the appeal wasn't frivolous, some on here need to realise what is meant by a frivolous appeal and then maybe then their thinking would be different on the matter
