In my opinion, one can partly understand Foy. His alarm bells must have rung. Foot-up tackle, both legs in front, but he did not really touch his opponent who by the way continued playing without any sign of having been fouled.
To my mind, it was an exaggerated call by Chris Foy who was not the best choice for this intense Manchester derby in general; he created many problems himself.
What is however the correct punishment for this foul? I do not think that only a free kick would have been enough, a yellow card may be issued, but never a red one.
I am still waiting for an official who has the courage to send Rooney off for his complaints and impudent trials to demand cards for opponents.

What do you think of the red card issued to Vincent Kompany?
UPDATE:
UPDATE:
"An Independent Regulatory Commission has today dismissed a claim of wrongful dismissal from Manchester City’s Vincent Kompany following his red card for Serious Foul Play in The FA Cup Third Round tie between Manchester City v Manchester United on 8 January 2012.
Kompany will serve a four-match suspension with immediate effect. The suspension consists of a statutory three-match suspension for Serious Foul Play plus one additional game given this is Kompany’s second dismissal of the season." (thefa.com)
