Expressing his frustration, Kompany was sent off for protesting on the touchline and criticized the overall standard of officiating in the season. He emphasized the challenges faced by referees and the impact of technologies like VAR on their decision-making process.
“I’ll keep saying what I think,” Kompany stated. “Refereeing hasn’t been good enough this season, and I have shared my concerns with the officials in a constructive manner.”
FA Charge
The Football Association has charged Kompany with improper conduct for his actions during the match. The FA’s statement highlighted allegations of inappropriate language and behavior towards a match official.
Kompany has until a specified deadline to respond to the charge.
