Re: Kompany's red card and appeal? (merged)

Savic did well on Sunday and Micah is ready to play anywhere.

Onwards!

Fingers crossed Ivory Coast get knocked out asap.

It's two footed. Whether you touch the player you are attempting to tackle or not, the rules state that if you lunge in to a challenge with both feet off the floor, you've got to walk.

Two footed? Not a chance. There was only ever one foot making a movement towards the ball. When you make a slide tackle where do you expect the other foot to be, behind his body so he's doing the splits? His other leg had to go from, the movement wasn't of two feet together so therefore it wasn't a two footed tackle. Are you saying that if he has to win the ball with a slide tackle/interception in forward motion which means both feet have to come through although not together then he shouldn't make the tackle, should he just let Nani have the ball then?

Yes, two footed. I expect his other leg to be tucked under.

His leg tucked under where? His body? Next time you play football, try and make a tackle where the foot you are going to win the ball with moves forward at speed and try and keep your leg tucked under your body, it's near impossible and would risk serious injury, both his feet had to come through. It wasn't a two footed tackle as only one foot was ever moved towards the ball, the trailing came through after the ball had been won clearly. It is in no way a two footed tackle, not in a million years.

The game is dieing a slow death.

Miss 80 mins of a match and a further 4 games for kicking a football and not touching an opposing player.

I've said this before, and I'll say it again, just because it was 2 footed doesn't make it an automatic red card.

The official rule is as follows:-

A player is guilty of serious foul play if he uses excessive force or brutality against an opponent when challenging for the ball when it is in play.

A tackle that endangers the safety of an opponent must be sanctioned as serious foul play.

Any player who lunges at an opponent in challenging for the ball from the front, from the side or from behind using one or both legs, with excessive force and endangering the safety of an opponent is guilty of serious foul play

So, the number of legs used is irrelevant, 1 or 2 legs can result in serious foul play, but nothing to suggest a 2 footed takcle is INSTANTLY classed as serious foul play. In fact the above law claims that Kompany needs to have met 3 criteria, he needs to have:-

A - Lunged in (debateable, he slid in, is a slide the same as a lunge?)

B - used excessive force (this is a judgement call, although 99% would say he didn't)

C - endangered the safety of an opponent (now this one is laughable, Nani was nowhere near Kompany's feet, he never hit Nani, and never looked like hitting him, how he could therefore have been "endangered" is beyond me).
 
Bright side time..........

Vinnie gets a rest and comes back to see us home for the rest of the season.

Savic steps up and fills in with Micah, Zabba, Gael and Alex.
