Kompany=red card or not ?

[malwayne]

Straightforward question. Yes or no?
If that was a Burnley player...........

[Norder]

.

if Kompany was a Burnley player - and Lennon was a City player ?.....would that mean Lennon fouled Kompany or Kompany fouled Lennon - or both ???

aargh....it's too confusing - Yes to it all - Mal.

[Altobelli]

Yes.

Of course it was a red card, any competent referee would have sent him off, but we don't have referees sny more, we have game managers, and they have other things to consider besides the Laws of the Game.

Jon Moss is not a competent referee. Red card. End of.

Of course. And if there was a black card he should have got one.

As far as City was concerned it was job done within two minutes. Difficult enough for us with a fully fit team - City didn't need a man advantage as well.

Lennon was obviously struggling afterwards and eventually had to be withdrawn. Cheats prospering yet again.

Sane should also have walked for his assault on Lowton.

As for their second, match deciding goal...where do you start?

Sane should have been booked for diving (free kick to us). The ball was out of play (goal kick for us). The bloke who retrieved the ball was offside (free kick for us),
I understand that officials are human and make mistakes, but this is just taking the p1ss.

Jon Moss really is the absolute worse of a very bad bunch.

There is zero doubt this referee would actually take action against City. Sane was the worse challenge though. That was just a cynical and vindictive hack. What is the point of complaining when you know decisions will just go against you? Dyche has complained time and time again (to his credit) about diving and play acting but which other managers in the Premier League have backed him up? Answers please on a very small stamped (no pun intended) postcard.

There is quite a lot of disbelief amongst the refereeing fraternity about the lack of decisions given on Saturday, however, it is interesting to see that John Moss will be refereeing Man Utd v Everton this weekend with the same AR team.
Mind you, I never heard any City players complaining on Saturday so he must have done well in their eyes.
