Why, when someone is realistic about a sending off you see it as a wind up.
If you cannot debate with out resorting to the old it's a wind up tactics then there really is no point in carrying on with this topic.
Thank you.

Then try to be realistic. It was never sending off. Vast majority of neutrals would agree.

Also, who are you to decide whether people carry on about a topic. Something tells me I'm not going to like you.

You keep using the word realistic whilst misquoting or misunderstanding the FA rulebook. So far you seem to be attempting to get a rise out of man City fans on the forum after registering soon after a contentious defeat in the FA cup. call me cynical but I smell a RED herring.

I can't understand why people do things like this. How sad is it for someone to go out of their way to visit a City website, register as a member and then write posts purely to get a rise out of City fans? How shit, boring and pathetic must their life be that they need to do something like this to give themselves some entertainment?

It always amazes me when I read City articles on various news/sports websites and 99% of the comments are by opposition fans, with the majority being United fans. I hardly ever would read articles about other teams, never mind be bothered to comment about them!

[Original Dub]

The guy's obviously a rag. Rags ar the only ones clinging to this "both feet off the ground" shite.

I'll tell you what's realistic. No contact, no foul, let alone no fucking red.

Try this on for size - if that was in the box was it a penalty and a red card?

[Tokyo Blue]

No matter how you look at it ...If you go into a tackle with both feet off the ground...no matter how innocuous or how the 'tackle' ends up... you are asking for trouble into days game.If you look at Mr Foys position when the tackle went in you will understand why he had no option but to give the deserved red...

Errr.....no. Every fucker and their dog saw that there was fuck all wrong with that challenge.

Also, I've never met or heard about "realistic football fan". The handfull of realistic City supporters that ever existed hanged themselves late-90's. You couldn't deal with that shit by "being realistic".

Just a couple of points... there were no dogs in the ground to witness the tackle ... However from a realistic point of view a professional like Kompany should realise that when both feet leave the ground...you will be walking... And I am afraid that is what happened so it is realistic.

If you want to be "realistic", check the laws of the game. Then come back and quote them as they are and not as you dream them to be. You might then be in position to give us a "realistic" opinion, rather than the load of old shit you've just come out with.

Supporter of "Manchester", eh.

I am sorry you feel this way aaron. If my realism offends you then I can do no more than apologise.
However it doesn't alter MY point of view with regards to the rather unprofessional tackle.
On a forum we are all entitled to a point of view with out being accused of being on a wind up.
If you truely believe this to be a wind up then you must have a low wind up tolerance level.

Did you get your football education from SkySports? It sure sounds like it. Read the rule, it has to be deemed careless, reckless and endangering an opponent for it to be deemed worthy of a red. This bollox of he had two feet off the ground he had to go is a Sky pundit's mantra and is complete nonsense. If everytime a player has two feet off the ground a red card will be shown then the sliding tackle has effectively been outlawed from the game. If this is the case it's a sad day for football.

I'm still waiting for your response to thisRFF. What's the realistic take on the future of the sliding tackle?

Are you saying that people actually come on this forum just to wind people up?
Surely in todays fast paced 24/7 living no one would have that much spare time on their hands..... Would they?

I didnt know people had enough spare time to post between forums of teams they dont support either...

We've seen plenty of people here just for the wind ups mate. PLENTY!

That is the problem with fans today... I make a comment about the red card that some disagree with and all of a sudden I'm on a wind up.
You see I watched the game wearing my realistic glasses not my blue tinted glasses.
What would yoube saying if say... Vidic ...had made the identical tackle.... You would all be saying it was a straight red...

I think you'll find that many of us on here have no problem admitting when we were well beaten, or when we were lucky (United should have had a pen), but the thing you're not understanding, is that by the RULES of the game, the tackle must be wreckless/dangerous and the player must not be in control of his body. Kompany's tackle did not breach the rules.

That's all we are saying. It seems the only people who deem this a Red card are rags and rag associates.

A lot of ex-refs have come out and said it, a large majority of the media are saying it, pundits have said it.

We feel hard done by. Realistically, it shouldnt have been a red.

Tut tut indeed, why don't you go onto a site about your own club then? In my opinion, your opinion is shit on this subject.
