@BrianDurand56 @briankettle @jd77 @GrkStav @ScouserLA @JimBoardman @Andrew_Heaton RT FA - Report regarding Kompany Another interesting twist in this story, Kompany's ban has been upheld by the FA, a four match ban for his challenge on Saturday, and I decided to read the FA Report. It seems that 8 of the 9-man panel thought it should be overturned, but they need a unanimous decision to overturn red cards. The one man who refused to overturn the red card? You've guessed it, none other than Denis Smith.
Ignoring the garnish on the side of everything else, whole thing stinks to high heaven. Any how in the name of christ does a red card get a nine man panel and something as important as Racism allegations get 3. Makes me sick thinking about it.

The FA's disciplinary panels are made up of three people - a chairman from the FA's panel, someone else who has played or managed within the professional game, and a third person from the FA Council, who has considerable experience in the game.
