Topic: Man City 0-1 Liverpool: (Gerrard, pen) Half time........

[gods_left_peg]

I would be surprised if it gets rescinded, this was the FA's show piece game, on what has been a predictable weekend of cup football. For them to admit that the biggest game of the weekend was tarnished by poor refereeing, would be bad PR. And to be fair we all know how much the FA love their bullshit PR campaigns.

[RK7]

Did you watch us when we played them the game before? Kompany was a huge difference in that game!

I did yes, we played a lot of football in front of their back four and created very little.We resorted to tossing balls into the box that Kompany dealt with as you would expect most CB's to do in all honesty.

Kompany was their MOTM, he dealt with everything in the box.

[Upinsmoke]

It won't get rescinded, by the letter of the law he had both feet off the floor straight red.


Personally thought it was a sublime tackle and it's one of them that a ref with a pair of balls would of used a bit of common sense told Rooney to shut up and let the game continue.

Letter of the law, what is thAt again? The FA is a law themselves, if they want to put LFC at a disadvantage then they will do it, just like they've shown already.

[Tomo!]

I agree with you Tomo but nothing the FA does surprises me. The Wolves red card NOT being overturned was ridiculous so don't be surprised if this one goes against the way you think.

Hope not, bit off topic but it's a shame it's going out of the game.

Used to be just European games where it became a non contact sport for fairies.

[RK7]

I know he did, he is a good player but so are the replacements.

[Fordy]

Kompany won't make much of a difference, our lack of creativity from midfield will be the biggest problem. They know that and can afford to sit back and counter us knowing we offer very little going forward, harsh I know but true.

We have created loads of chances this season. Our midfield isn't our biggest problem at all.

[RK7]

It's all about opinions and I understand what your saying, i just see it differently. I felt that most of the chances we created were the doing of Suarez and his ability to go past players. City will sit deep and I don't think we have the ability to break them down without the pace and skill of Suarez, the only player I can see hurting them is Bellamy.
I hope to god I am wrong but that is how I see it and why I don't think Kompany not playing suddenly gives us more hope.

Then again they rescinded Rodwell's which was pretty similar.

It was the last time we played City though  but hopefully with Gerrard back and starting things will be different.

[eirwen]

Gerrard Bellamy and Maxi can all create chances and finish them. We can still play without Suarez.

[AriGold]

El oh el.

[nickyd186]

Main concern for me is our defence v city not there's out of the back four that have played regularly in CC only Kelly would get into my line up carra and Coates looked wobbly v Oldham on fri IMO

[Big Dirk]

Now that City have appealed the red card does that mean Kompany can play against us on Wed?

[Tomo!]

Think the tramps post match comments have sealed his fate, reckon it'll stand.

[emitime]

Now that City have appealed the red card does that mean Kompany can play against us on Wed?

Barton was sent off and had his appeal turned down within two days. He won't be playing unless it's rescinded.

[7777]

It'll be the usual back four, Johnno, Agger, Skrtel and Enrique

Chance to win a trophy, Kenny will play the strongest team

[Big Dirk]

Barton was sent off and had his appeal turned down within two days. He won't be playing unless it's rescinded.

Cheers so ifs its not rescinded he will miss both legs seeing its his 2nd straight red card this season?

[farawayred]

I'm sad that City lost their FA game, it would have been something to split their attention. Now I hope we kick them out so that they can focus on the Premiership and we can win a trophy in February, tie up a Europa place and take it from there. This team would perform better without added pressure.

[Gnurglan]

I expect us to play the normal back five, Spearing, Gerrard, Henderson, Bellamy, Downing and Carroll.

It depends on how long it takes them to catch three kangaroo's to sit on the Independent panel.

[Fordy]

It was the last time we played City though  but hopefully with Gerrard back and starting things will be different.

Seem to remember that gem of a ball by Henderson to play Downing in. If Downing put us 1-0 up then that game could of been different.

[Eeyore]

Think the tramps post match comments have sealed his fate, reckon it'll stand.

As they were intended to Suarez dives all over the place and now Kompany tackles like that all the time. If you hear a case of a Rawkite dying of asphyxiation it was just me holding my breath waiting for the FA to charge Ferguson with bringing the game into disrepute.

 

[Big Dirk]

Seem to remember that gem of a ball by Henderson to play Downing in. If Downing put us 1-0 up then that game could of been different.

Thats the only chance our midfield created the whole game.Henderson looks a different player playing alongside Gerrard.Adam,Spearing and Henderson together in midfield doesnt work way too defensive and not enough movement.

[Chakan]

What he say? Definite red card?

[El Denzel Pepito]

What he say? Definite red card?

Pretty much. And that Kompany's done it several times before and gone unpunished.

[Big Dirk]

What he say? Definite red card?

Yeah apparently the tackle could have give Michael Jackson a serious injury.

[Big Dirk]

Cheers so ifs its not rescinded he will miss both legs seeing its his 2nd straight red card this season?

People please answer this if his red card is not rescinded then does he miss both legs?

[Eeyore]

What he say? Definite red card?

He said he had noticed Kompany tackle like that before and was surprised that he had got away with it. Talk about prejudicing any appeal before it's even started. Amazing how you cannot say anything about ref's but Ferguson is free to slaughter opposition players.

[El Denzel Pepito]

People please answer this if his red card is not rescinded then does he miss both legs?

Yeah, he does mate.

[Tomo!]

What he say? Definite red card?

 However, counterpart Mr. Ferguson thought it was the right decision, saying: 'I think so, I've seen him do it before, he maybe got off in the past. I think if he catches Nani then he's got a problem.'

[Big Dirk]

Yeah, he does mate.

Cheers

[Chakan]

Slurgie is such a c*nt

[stevied]

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini says the club will appeal against the red card shown to Vincent Kompany in the FA Cup defeat by Manchester United.

[NeilR]

Now that City have appealed the red card does that mean Kompany can play against us on Wed?

funny they are appealing. mancini started his after match interview saying it was a red, then it must have dawned on him that an appeal could delay the ban til after the cc semi, so he spends the end of the interview back tracking

[Cpt_Reina]

We have created loads of chances this season. Our midfield Adam isn't our biggest problem at all.

 

[Fordy]

 

[Smudgester]

If the FA use the same rules they apply to everyone else it will be deemed a frivolous appeal and he will miss the 2nd leg as well

[Ultimate Bromance]

He's already missing the 2nd leg as it was his 2nd red this season.

[Smudgester]

Really ? I must have forgotten about that rule. Surely they won't rescind it ?

[Adeemo]

Rodwell's sending off was rescinded and there's no way Kompany's tackle was any worse than that one, in fact I would say Rodwell's was far more aggressive.
