Does anyone else think Glen Johnson should have been sent off seein as tho Kompany did? Who's tackle was worse?

both as bad as each other - both deserve a str8 red. He is a very lucky man - wonder if FA will say anything?!

johnsons was well worse, looked more forceful and cuda done a lot more damage! That's frm a #MUFC fan!

I agree he should been sent off
7:19PM Wed, January 11 2012
@Bleekster16
haven't seen johnsons tackle but if it was 2 footed then it's a red. Kompany went in 2 footed so deserved a red,poor tekkers
7:19PM Wed, January 11 2012
@PaulArmstrong11

johnsons was way worse than kompanys! A lot more aggression and follow through, even tho he won the ball still a huge lunge
7:19PM Wed, January 11 2012
@ArmstrongAndy93

Glen Johnson's had to be worse, more momentum in the challenge, could of caused more damage than Kompany's. #consistency

In a world of my own
kompany had his feet higher but I guess it doesn't make a difference a two footed challenge is unacceptable #todangerous

Glen Johnson's was a far worse tackle, did the ref take any action cos if he didn't the FA might......#refereesinconsistent

Kompany had every intention to get the ball. The ref was hopeless. Chris Foy hasn't a clue.

was worse but think both weren't sending off offences, yellow's at the most # nonecontactsport

kompany no red card but free kick. Johnson red card. What's your opinion on the matter? Rules need to be looked at though?

neither of them are a sending.those Decisions destroy the game. only If it is a blatant attempt to injure it should be red

although both were 2 ftd challenges and wot the rules state I think the refs should be able to decide if it were intentional

1 difference Danny. City players didn't even react. Kompanys wasn't a sending off. United players reaction got him sent off

Both had both feet off the floor, both as bad as each other! 1step to the left = broken leg! Need refereeing consistency tho

regardless of whether or not Kompany deserved a red card, he got one and so should have Johnson as a precedent has been set

It was a far worse challenge than Kompany's, proper jump in with two feet.
