Shocking decision by the ref. Wasn't even a foul. The latest in a long line of bad decisions by refs in big games. They really need to clear up the rules and urge the refs to exercise a degree of common sense. Giigs tackled from behind and doesn't even get a yellow. Inconsistent.
Kompany will get a 4 match ban (it's 4 because he's already had a red this season), so will miss both legs against us - unless City level this game and it goes to a replay, in which case he will be available to play against us.
With Milijas and Barton both having appeals rejected lately, I wouldn't expect this one to be upturnes - especially since it's very similar to the Milijas red card.
