City have today lodged an appeal with the Football Association relating to the red card issued to Vincent Kompany during Sunday's FA Cup tie with Manchester United at the Etihad Stadium.

The FA have confirmed that a hearing will be held ahead of Wednesday evening’s Carling Cup semi-final first leg tie at home to Liverpool.

Sorry I meant that I think it IS worth appealing, especially given weight an conviction of neutrals' responses I've seen in the press and heard on the radio

Unfortunately, it has to be an absolutely clear-cut error for it to be rescinded. Most commentators are saying it should only have been a yellow; sadly, that isn't enough of an error for a red card to be overturned. Both feet are off the ground for a split second and that's the moment they will point to when upholding the suspension.

So does that mean that all sliding tackles are red card offences ?

As it's all about the referee's interpretation then, yes, most tackles have an element to them that could be used to support a certain argument. I don't think it was a red card, but the FA simply don't go overturning their referees' decisions on a point of opinion. It has to be something that is clearly wrong, but in this case I think both sides can be argued. So if Foy doesn't overturn his own decision (which he's extremely unlikely to do), the FA won't do it for him.
