Johnson tackle worse than Kompany???? (1 Viewer)

What are players supposed to do now... the FA need to change the rule or ban tackling all together as the refs seem to have very different opinions of what this rule is.... And if they ban this we might aswell stop playing the game....

I'd say 'bout the same as Kompany's but he still got the bloody ball!

Consistency is all we ask.

Both are red card tackles, two-footed. End of.

Both the same to me,,, Media should ask the ref tonight why he didnt send Johnson off...

Two footed my arse! It's a tackle that gets the ball! If these pussy footballers don't want to mix it, then get off the field of play!!

I actually think Johnsons was worse than Kompanys. He had both feet together, in the air, studs showing, going straight at the player. Kompany came from slightly side on and feet were apart. They both got the ball though and cleanly. Neither opposing player complained. But there has to be consistency, it's just a shame you can't seem to slide tackle anymore. I heard the other day one team are teaching their players not to slide tackle - for shame

Didn't see it, but if it was two footed, then he should have gone.
You raise your studs, or go in with two.. its a red card, simple as... Players know this yet still do it.

I wonder if we'll see a spate of favourable decisions go the scouser's way from now on...
