Kompany red card and appeal SUCCESSFUL

[jay_mcfc]

Right decision but jeez I'm surprised!

 

[jollylescott]

Excellent news for Captain Courageous and justice was seen to be done.

This bodes well for the rest of the season. It will give all the lads a mighty lift.

 

[Salado De Bap]

Great news for us but actually more importantly for the game of football in general because if that tackle is deemed to be serious foul play endangering safety of another player then, as the scottish prick Hansen said, we might as well call it a fucking day coz the game as we knew it would quite definitely be finished !

Common sense at last from the much maligned panel has prevailed cant wait to hear that bitter rag Irani and pisscan Brazil in the morning hahaha brilliant !

Fair play to Mike Dean aswell coz he must have admitted that given all the other angles the tackle was seen from his initial, slightly obstructed and therfore understandable, decision was incorrect ! Faith slightly restored in the powers that be .

Keown says vinnie needs to adjust his technique, god these guys are so blinkered and biased that anyone with half a brain cell could see through them, like redknapp junior making the statement it was a bad tackle and he will surely be banned for this, why didn't the spoilt tosspot say please ban him because daddy needs him out?

Just remind me who Keown used to play for ????

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.

Bob....I have seen a few players, after they have been tackled, jump up and defend the player if they did not think it was a bad tackle. I know it is rare as most players do their utmost to get their opposition players sent off. Anyway, it worked out well in the end.

If they reviewed the same vids i've seen then why are they not doing Wilshire(sp), the only one that jumped in with both feet and nowhere near the ball.

Me too ......

but maybe the FA thought back to our game at Norwich when Nasri got his marching orders after that strong tackle by Bassong , which wasn't that disimilar to Kompanys ...... and Bassong STAYED on the pitch .

They were probably impressed that we didn't contest Nasris sending off too , as everybody expected City too , and may have decided , with our injuries , suspensions and all our other problems , to give us the benefit of the doubt over Kompanys challenge.

Bless their cotton socks ..... aren't they wonderful ??

Given the view he had i can see why the ref may have thought it was 2 footed.

Just heard was Alladyce said, never thought i'd say this but well said Big Fat Sam!

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

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.

What's he done, phoned them all up and done a survey.

Wouldn't really be any point in appeals if the refs didn't lose one now and again ....

Was Kompanys tackle any worse than Bassongs against us ??

And he STAYED on the pitch !

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.

'Vincent Kompany wasn’t out of control, he was in perfect control. The person who was more out of control was Jack Wilshere, that’s what made it look so bad.

Exactly. He made a wise choice marrying someone that will be perfectly happy if he decides to stay until the end of his career.

I'm sure that wasn't the first box she ticked Bob.
