Have you seen the latest film release?
Could have been nominated for a BAFTA award?

“WIPE OUT!” Starring…..James Trafford!

Firstly, I hope that Liam Coyle is ok and makes a speedy recovery from the assault that he suffered during the match.

Secondly, the referee was wrong to only give Trafford a Yellow Card. I have never seen a more blatant Red Card situation before!

The detail;
a) Coyle was always going to be first to the high ball.
b) Coyle had a run and leap to get high above the more static Bolton defender.
c) Trafford accelerated towards the incident and clearly had time to assess and decide what he was going to do.
d) Trafford decided to ‘Wipe Out’ both players knowing that he was committing a professional foul.
e) The Bolton defender hardly got off the ground so Trafford’s challenge did not pose too much danger to him.
f) Coyle was high above the ground having made a great leap in trying to head the ball.
g) Trafford’s action caused Coyle to cartwheel and fall head and upper body towards the ground first.
h) Trafford’s action was endangering the safety of Liam Coyle and caused his injury.
The only option open for the referee should have been to have given Trafford a straight RED CARD!

I always stand behind the right hand side of the Clayton End goal in line with the six yard box. Trafford started his run right in front of me and I was seeing exactly the same view as he was. As soon as he started his acceleration, I said to myself, ‘Trafford is never going to get there!’
The referee simply got it wrong!

TRAFFORD SHOULD HAVE BEEN SENT OFF…..

Just to repeat….I hope that Coyle recovers well.
