Thats why fans and players/managers get so pissed off.
Johnson plays for the next 3/4 games Kompany misses the next 4 games ( + 80 mins of the Manchester derby ). Who wins titles/cups seems more down to refs then players now days.

Johnson's tackle....Liverpool on 22:10 - Jan 11 by loftboy
Can't tackle two footed like Johnson did, you have no control over it at all.
I know it's an illegal type of tackle but he's low down, takes a large chunk of the ball and doesn't put the opposition player in any danger imo. A competent ref should be able to have a quiet word with the player to just calm it down. Foy, as shown the other day, is incompetent whereas Mason is marginally better.

Whilst i will agree imo neither were sending off's.If you give one you HAVE to give the other..........thems the rules.

And did anyone else notice the spat late on between Nasri and Carragher. How was either player's behaviour not as bad, if not worse, than JB against Norwich. (Violent intent?)

Probably because neither one of them held their face and feigned injury to get the other sent off, unlike the Norwich cheat.
It's being so happy that keeps me going.

i saw both tackles briefly but it would appear that the only reason kompany didn't take nani out was because he was agile enough to get out of the way. on the other hand johnson got the ball and lescott arrived after it had been cleared and then dived over johnson - totally different

Both tacklers left the ground and went for the ball two footed with studs showing......rules say that is a sending off offence.
Does not matter how nimble the oppo is.................

yeah, but lescott appears after the event - there has to be someone else involved at or near the point of contact with the ball for it to be a dangerous tackle

In other words that's timed to perfection is it ? Just sheer luck that Nasri's foot insn't 6 inches further on.
I think it 's about time punishments were metered out for what actually happened rather than what might have been, otherwise we risk opening up a can of worms.
Yes you could argue that he left the ground with studs showing but he made a perfect connection with the ball and absolutely none with the player. Kompany, on the other hand, took some of the player as well as the ball.

I don't think there is a rule in football specifically stating anything about two-footed or "dangerous" tackles. I think the closest thing you have is either serious foul play or violent conduct. I think in both the Johnson and Kompany cases neither of these occurred.

Doesn't this thread perfectly illustrate just how difficult it is to be a referee.Even with the benefit of numerous camera angles and replays, people still have different opinions about whether both tackles are good or dangerous.
Referees are such easy targets for managers, players and supporters to blame them for their teams' misfortune. Yet they are human and only have a split second to make a decision without the benefit of camera replays like the rest of us are privy to.
I'm sick to the back teeth of how it has become the norm in the modern game to blame the ref for a team's defeat. What about the players on the pitch who misplace passes, choose the wrong option etc on the pitch during the course of a game-we don't hear much criticism from managers blaming their players-they seem to find it easier to blame the referee.
I appreciate that referees make howlers in matches and it is frustrating for managers and supporters alike , but they are just trying to interpret the rules of the game in a fair and honest way at pitch level in real time with no replays to watch. THEY ARE HUMAN.
If you want every decision to be correct then you will have to have every play monitored continuously to show if wrong decisions have been made and then play to be stopped and continue with a free kick, throw-in etc.
I used to be a qualified referee with Surrey FA and I can assure you it is one of the most difficult jobs to do. I think that managers and players should have to take a referees course to appreciate just how difficult the job is and to know what the rules are. How often do you see players appealing for a handball when it hasn't been deliberate?
I think the FA should try and emulate the culture of refereeing seen in Rugby Union. How refreshing it would be to see players accept the referees decision even if they don't agree with it and just get on with the bloody game.

like you say - very difficult job - although i think the ref got it right. what did you think of the barton debacle from a refereeing perspective?

A situation where 2 players squared up to each other by putting their heads close up to each others faces.No head butt motion took place. Bradley Johnson over reacts which is unsporting behaviour in my opinion and should have been cautioned with a yellow card. Barton is also guilty of unsporting behaviour and should have been given a yellow at the most.
Barton wasn't guilty of serious foul play or violent conduct on this occasion.
He was perhaps only guilty of being naive and stupid for giving the referee an opportunity to apply an interpretation of the games rules, which, given his reputation runs the risk of an over reaction from opposing players and misinterpretation from referees as happened in this incident.

i love this.
Beautiful. See my point.
How good would it be to see the likes of Rooney etc. subjected to that style of refereeing in that culture and not back chatting the ref and throwing dummies out of the pram which lets not forget, wastes time as well.
They just need to know that the decision the ref makes is final and get on with it.

did johnson make contact? thought not.... then again he's a special one from the favoured liverpool, whatever dalglish mumbles.
