It's pretty irrelevant anyway. Looked like he'd sustained a lengthy injury himself the way he was clutching his leg afterwards.
Over-zealous.
its a red card in the modern game.
people can like it or not, harp back to "better" days etc, but its a red card in 2013 as is the Kos one.
simple, dont leave the floor with 2 feet, how many times do they need to be told!!
(also dont wrestle a player to the floor in the box...)
Going by the rules of the game, yeah, it was probably a red.
But it was a great tackle.
It was a red card, i winced when i saw it!
The consequence could have been much worse.
Ref had a good game, no matter how much of a caant i think he is.
Oh and we have him for the Chelsea game too.
I think both reds are easily justifiable. But at the same time it would have been easy for the ref to come to different conclusions on both.
With Koscielnys it is all dependent on whether you think Dzeko would have a clear and obvious goalscoring opportunity without the foul. I think he probably would have had, and Dean obviously felt certain.
With Kompanys, I think the fact Jack lost his standing foot before any contact made the tackle look worse, although it is entirely possible that the slip actually saved Wilshere from a strong challenge.
Think both reds, by the letter of the laws, are very easy to justify.
Yep. The worse thing about the Kos sending off was that it gave Wenger a perfect excuse as to why we lost, rather than getting beaten with 11 men.
Almost like he asked Kos to do it

You're kiddin right?
Football's becoming a girls game...................
forget the red cards why didn't riley act when there was a clear tactic of rotational fouling on wilshere?
as soon as tv went in on someone he carded him straight away.....tv's reaction said it all!!!
he did nothing and allowed this to continue which may have lead to kompany believing he had carte blanche to steam into jack!!
this is where riley lost the game.....both reds where justifiable but he failed to manage the game throughout.....odius ref
Is anyone on here arguing otherwise? Of course it was a red!
Obvious decision.

Agree 100% with this. Reminded me of the Carling Cup final when Toure finally lost it and kicked off. Mertesacker was the one who lost his coll yesterday as another start of an attack was stopped by a foul. Dzeko made 4 or 5 fouls, at least 2 of them were as bad as TVs yellow card foul.

Quite a few people said it was not a red, also Manc's are appealing

Were these people blind / stupid / Kompany's mum?
Havent seen it on tv but thought it was worthy of a red watching it live.He knows he isnt allowed to tackle like that anymore so only has himself to blame

As an Arsenal supporter of many years I was glad to see the FIRST penalty called! The wrestling that routinely goes on inside the penalty box is ruining the game.
With regard to the Kompany tackle, I think he was a victim of circumstances. I don't think that Kompany is a "dirty" player, however, referees today are trained to be very strict when they see the studs of the boots in tackles. It was not a "two footed" tackle, it was definitely an over aggressive tackle and deserved a YELLOW card.
I wish Arsenal had a player of Kompany's skill and class!

If it was over-aggressive then it is a red. 2 feet matters not.

Why would an Arsenal fan be glad to see a penalty and red given against us?
Do you really think the next time there is holding in the box against us we will get the same??

D'Jeezus,
In response to your first comment. I was "glad:" because I believe in honesty and integrity, things our game is slowly loosing, in part because of fans like you who don't seem to be able to separate right from wrong!
In response to your second empty comment: "What difference does it make? Cheating is cheating no matter what team we are talking about!". Undoubtably you are one of the first to complain about the players who "dive" in the penalty box, or intentionally use their "hands" to control the ball?
Hope you're not an Arsenal fan!
