Just saw on twitter that Kompany has won his red card appeal. If true then: Mike Dean
I still think it was an excellent tackle from one of the better defenders around atm. We could use defenders of his ilk around these parts sometimes.

if jack was half a second quicker or hadnt slipped then that tackle could have done serious damage. its not a good tackle at all. feet first, two feet off the ground. tahts a straight red.
also, why did the fa reject his appeal for his sending off v united in fa cup last year for similar tackle, and then recind this one? pathetic.
It was the most blatant red card of the day. Baffling decision to rescind it.
His trailing leg was tucked back wasn't it? The one against United was more of a drop kick.
this clearly shows, two feet off the ground lunging in. thats a red. i cant believe the fa recinded it. if jack doesnt slip or was half a second quicker, he could have an injury now or even worse a broken bone
Come back Maldini, teach these morans how to defend.
I can understand why it was given but I'd personally be annoyed if one of our players was sent off for that.
As a raving City fan who would go to any lengths to defend the Blues and trash Arsenal (albeit using a stream of underhand comments because I lack the guts to just come out and admit my loyalties), even I think it's a red card. Two footed lunge, out of control, dangerous, reckless. Does this mean tackles like this are now okay? Because there will be many broken legs over the remainder of the season. Let me think now, if it had been Kos send off for a challenge like that would the FA have rescinded the card? Simple answer is fuck no. This is just a city thing. Money buys influence.

Doesn't look that bad to me, doesn't seem to be going in with his weight behind it...50/50 for me.
ollie 'ave a word with yourself. there is no lunge there. his other leg comes up and heads straight into the floor to support his other leg, nowhere near jack and there was no chance of him breaking any bone. the ref was under pressure and being the prick that he is, decided to even things up, hoping it would get the crowd off his back. rescinding was the right decision.Originally Posted by ollie the optimist
