MANCHESTER City's suspended skipper Vincent Kompany believes a wave of red cards could follow his dismissal against Manchester United in the FA Cup on Sunday.
Kompany said the decision by referee Chris Foy to dismiss him despite barely making contact with Nani, could set a precedent leading to many more similar tackles being punished.
"I wonder if we are now going to see an unprecedented wave of red cards because we sanction 'ifs' and 'maybes'?" the 25-year-old said on his Facebook page. "Are we going to look back at video evidence for every single challenge that goes unnoticed by the officials, look at different scenarios and potential outcomes of what could have been considered a good tackle and then sanction it?
"Players and managers are starting to expect more sendings-off from referees and I think it's for the wrong reasons."
