FA Cup 3rd Round Weekend

[Gibbo]

Shaggy - does it not have to be dangerous play to be a 3/4 match ban?

Your only meant to give a straight red if it's considerd dangerous tough aren't you?

[magicalbarnes]

The ref will realise at half time what a monumental ****-up he has made here, hopefully City should be able to get away with murder in the 2nd half.

[Exiled_red]

Just going back to Kompany suspension if it is 4 games, then he may only miss the 2nd leg of our semi with them if this doesn't go to a replay (assuming the date of the replay is between now and then).

[Chris]

This is unreal.

Isn't it when two feet are 'off the ground', it's a red, no matter what?

[SimonNo7]

no complaints from Kompany there, ****ing harsh red. Yet more inconsistency with refs this season, seen far worse not punished and he took the ball.

Letter of the law, two footed challenge leaving the ground equals red card.

However the highlighted word in bold says it all about a lot of decisions made in our top league.

If every challenge like that equalled a red card and clubs were told that is what would happen then fair enough, but it just seems to be down to the referee to look at who made the challenge, which team he plays for, who they are playing against and then decide if he wants to be in the limelight or not.

I hate Rios face

[RichC]

seen the red card foul again, Foy wasn't even looking to blow up for a foul -

[Mostar]

That'll get rescinded. I know the FA dont usually rescind cards for tackles like that but that was absolutely nothing, he'll get off.

It is very much Jack Rodwell type of situation.

Fa will overturn this decision and I expect him to be ready and available for Wedensday.

[Shaggy]

I ****ing hate Phil Jones. He is one horrible cunt. Made to play for them.

[Daniel 7]

Rooney dancing around clearly influenced it.

[Exiled_red]

Is that not what the ref will deem it?

Dunno to be fair, just got the 4 match ban stuff from a journo on Twitter.

Jones hacks down Aguero from behind - no card.

Presumably it was a straight red for violent conduct (or whatever it's called now) hence the straight red rather than 2 yellows, so I'd imagine if it isn't overturned it would be an automatic 3/4 game ban

Only meant to give a red if the tackle bares excessive force, yellow otherwise

[Muddled]

I'm taking solace in the fact Phil Jones is having an absolute 'mare.

He has *no* idea where to be on that pitch.

Look at where he took the ball, not even a foul mate. As yu say there it's about the side who is either making the claim for/against it seems.

Lampard had a shocker the other day and got a yellow was far worse that that
