Rooney: I'm not to blame for Kompany's red card Wayne Rooney says he is not to blame for the red card to Vincent Kompany that helped Manchester United beat Manchester City 3-2 in the FA Cup
City manager Roberto Mancini said Rooney pressured referee Chris Foy into showing a 12th-minute red card after Kompany's two-footed challenge on Nani. But Rooney wrote on Twitter: “Funny how people think i got kompany sent off. Im not ref. i didn't give red card. But it was a clear red card. 2 footed tackle.” Mancini said City would appeal against the red card and Kompany's four-game ban. But United defender Rio Ferdinand also used Twitter to defend Foy's decision. “How can there be any debate about the red card? You leave the ground with a two-foot tackle (equals) Red card. Fact.” (For more sports news and updates, follow Ahram Online Sports on Twitter: @AO_Sports).
