For me it's not just about getting Johnson a retrospective Red, the FA rejected our appeal for Vinny, so we should now raise the profile of the issue by asking for an explanation of the Johnson tackle.

Let's keep the issue live so that refs think twice before singling us out as a soft touch.

How can it be brought to the FAs attention?

Not that bothered to be honest Kompany would still be banned

I was more worried what a Liverpool player had to do to get booked oh yes get hit by Sami !!!

Have you seen the other shot of the challenge from a diiferent angle ??
Go to page 18 and your blood pressure will rise even more.

Much more dangerous for me than VC's challenge...comes from higher up and at more pace...could've snapped Lescott's leg in two.
Massive inconsistency which will no doubt not be highlighted.
I thought he made a lunge first half too but could not see if it was two feet.

Absolutely fucking ridiculous how 1) no foul was given, 2) the linesman didn't flag, 3) the fourth official did fuck all and 4) how the FA are that inconsistent that fuck all will be done about that tackle.

I say we report it just to bring it to the attemtion of the FA. A bit like the John Terry racism scandal was...

The FA in this country are a fucking joke and even if they do something about about that tackle, they're still a panel of inconsistent nobody's who nobody gives a shit about anymore. Absolutely disgusting tackle.

we're supposed to just accept it but Bobby is showing us the way

it's up to all of us to highlight their hypocrisy every chance we get

they must be corrupt and/or incompetent and it is simply not acceptable from the governing body of our national game

Anybody that has facebook post it, twitterfolks twitter away, WORD OF MOUTH PEOPLE.

Talking about it on a forum can only do so much.

This shit needs to go viral for there to be any support against double standards.

 

[BlueMooner87]

not a red card, possibly a yellow just because it was abit dangerous but was a decent tackle really, VK was the same but executed better.

 

[bluecroi]

It was potentially dangerous but he was at the ball first. Clearly there first.
I mean looking at it there he takes the ball and Lescott arives after, and ended up standing on his leg, then falling over.
A yellow ya, but a red would have been harsh.
A few seconds later it would have been a straight red, but he's just that little bit earlier to the ball. Because of the timing, it was more that he threw himself at the ball, rather than threw himself into a tackle.
