horror tackles?
 

after watching 3/4 times the tackle by guthrie (newcastle) on the unfortunate (hull city) player who ended up with a broken leg, i think the F.A. should get off the pot n try to eradicate this from our game, guthrie claims anyone who knows him would know there was no intent. well sorry that dont wash.:mad: i do not think his intent was to " Break" the guys leg, but the intent to "Kick" was there, no matter how you view it. i think players who do stuff like this should be automatically suspended until the injured player returns, n then when they do, fer the same period again. i think that punishment would have a considerable impact on the cleanliness of football, what do you think?

Re: horror tackles?
 

I think they should also pay half of thier wages to the injured player while he is out of action!

Re: horror tackles?
 

It's that brand of socially acceptable assault that has to be eradicated. I think your idea of suspending the player for as long as the victim is injured for would work well cashman.

Re: horror tackles?
 

Got to agree with cashy too, that tackle was terrible, the guy should be made t sit it out as long as the lad is on the side lines

Re: horror tackles?
 

Guthrie really should face Police action. If that was on the street he'd have been done for assault - why is it any different on a football pitch?

Re: horror tackles?
 

Couldn't believe it when i saw that it was a disgraceful tackle yet nothing seems to have been said about it really.
I agree with Shaker,if i or anybody else did that to somebody in the street we would be done for assault,just because he is a footballer doesn't mean he should be above the law.

Re: horror tackles?
 

well the thug is above the F.A. these ******* are taking no further action.:(

Re: horror tackles?
 

The F.A do FA they're a toothless bloody tiger a waste of space:mad:

Re: horror tackles?
 

Thats very true John,unless it involves Chelski then they will get involved.Like they did with the red card of John Terry's and cancel it out:mad:But thats another subject:)

Re: horror tackles?
 

If Terry played for Hull City you wouldn't give a toss, I thought it should have been just a yellow but I suppose because you play Chelski next your judgement maybe bias.;)

Re: horror tackles?
 

spot on. darren fletcher i just read on teletex says fair enough he thought only a yellow.:)

Re: horror tackles?
 

No think you misread,it wasnt a jibe at Chelski or JT.Vidic got a yellow on saturday for a similar challenge,just got sent off for a 2nd yellow.My point is they only get involved when its the 'big' teams and thats it :) Sorry my post is abit vague LOL:D

Re: horror tackles?
 

understandable mate, utd is only 1 step up from dingle.:D;)

Re: horror tackles?
 

FC United if you please LOL :)

Re: horror tackles?
 

Got the point now and I agree with you.

Re: horror tackles?
 

Not 100% sure but I think the difference is that you can't appeal against yellow cards, even if you get 2 in a match :D. Think the appeal system only works for straight reds. I await to be corrected :)

Re: horror tackles?
 

thats how i understood it, though ya can get 2 yellows n stop on, depending on the ref.:D

Re: horror tackles?
 

Flaming ek a dingle knowing the laws of the beautiful game, nice one dave:D:rolleyes:

Re: horror tackles?
 

Another game another ridiculous tackle, Pogatetz tacle on you Man U player Rodrigo Possebon was no more than GBH, possibley worse than the one at Newcastle,the FA have to act now by giving lenghthy bans to these thugs masquerading as footballers, its a disgrace:mad:
