Yes he would have got to the ball if Koscielny hadn't wrestled him to the ground. Watch it again.

:gp: we handed then two goals by being shit at the back. Otherwise we were the better team overall, which is odd because we were pretty shit. City are a joke club, a billion to produce shit like that.

I just don't get how you can say that, he hauled him down in the penalty area and held onto to him....100% red.

if he would have 100% got to the ball first. he wouldnt have, therefore its not a clear goalscoring opportunity so not a red

Replay shows the kompany sending off is fair enough.

The pundits thought it was 100% red, so did most people...they even read the rules of the game....it's a 100% red unless you don't know the rules I'm afraid.

Chesney would not have got there first, he wasn't even in the frame until after Dzeko's already been hauled down.
