Should we appeal the red card?

[aristation]

Even if he gets an extra game I think it is only Southampton?
I would, he was in control

[Tokyo Blue]

Yes. It wasn't a red and to be fair today's ref is usually one to admit his mistakes.

[Dubaimancityfan]

The panel on PLTV (Andy Townsend, Alan Curbishley and former ref Dermott Ghallager) all said it was not a red card and City will win if they appeal.

[mr_nool]

It wasn't a red, but there's no way we will win an appeal.

I dont know that two legs rule if is on ball is it ok , did anybody notice when all players turn araund and start shouting and wave to defense, wtf was that ?

[Spurge]

yes as it shouldn't have been a red

[Nigels Tackle]

classic case of the ref evening things up. amazed it took until 75 mins for him to show a 2nd red....

[Yffi_88]

Tin hat time here.

Red card or not, VK makes a lot of these challenges. I think its his technique, but even when theres no malice/he wins the ball, he manages to make it look like hes diving in. Same against the rags last year and a few moments already this season. No idea why his other foot needed to come off the floor at the same time as the tackling foot.

Probably going to get shot down here but, whilst i think the ref was probably evening things up a bit, it was a daft challenge.

[BlueinBosnia]

Yes. If I'm not mistaken, a ban is only extended if the appeal is deemed 'frivolous'. It wouldn't be.

[DCA]

Yes to the appeal, no way that's a red card. even Wilshere thought it was going to be on him.

[Peter Doherty (AGAIG)]

Yes.

As Mase said in the match thread, there is no 'rule' about two legs, only that it's a way in which the rule about the player being 'in control' of the tackle is standardly interpreted...

[Cit.revenge]

Yes. If I'm not mistaken, a ban is only extended if the appeal is deemed 'frivolous'. It wouldn't be.

I hate this one referee let go against Norwich i would say much harder chalenge and this is red , so on that base yes we should appeal

If we are thinking about the same event, I think, Javi among others, they signaled the back line to come out and set the defense higher up the pitch, apparently there was a lot of space between dms and defense.

Mike made a mistake, it wasnt a red card, wasnt even a foul ffs.

[City64]

YES

[Blue Since 92]

Appeal but I'm not sure FA will rescind it and if the appeal allows him to play Fulham he'll miss Liverpool.

It's the commentators not knowing the rules themselves.

Souness and Spice Boy have been going on about "two footed" this and that, even though one of the angles shows it was with one foot anyway.

That is what causes the confusion with fans and media.

[Sister of fu]

It wasn't a red, but there's no way we will win an appeal.

All the panel will do is look at the rear angle of the tackle where both feet are off the floor, yeah he won the ball but that angle clearly shows two feet off the ground. I fear he want win an appeal. IMO Vinny should no better from what happend last season, he is always going to run a fine line in this modern age of football making that type of tackle. I think he won the ball but you just can't tackle anymore so always running the risk of a red with that type of robust tacking.
