He was punished for it by being sent off. Cause I don’t think anything more should be made of it I am either a hobo (class patter), a hun (even better patter) or a half wit ?? kickback at its best.

Am arguing that he never purposely slid in to hurt bobby, he’s not that type of player or guy. He made an arse of it and was punished accordingly.

After the De Jong challenge on Alonso (into his chest) in the 2010 World Cup Final there was a move by FIFA and referees to punish dangerous high challenges. Since then less has been allowed. But like most things they fall back and revert to getting away with things. Anything around the head should be a red card. But this is certainly worthy of considering for more punishment. He could have killed him. Since I mentioned it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tian447 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 (edited) Sorry, but that there should be a season long ban, and he should not be allowed anywhere near a football pitch for the rest of the 2018/19 season. He absolutely knew what he was about to do, and deliberately went in to smash through the goalkeeper with the intent of the ball going into the back of the net, regardless of the keeper needing to go with it or not. It's about the most dangerous thing I've ever seen someone do on a pitch, and he very well could have fractured Bobby's skull or broken his neck. The potential for an absolutely horrific injury from something like that is mental, and we're lucky that nothing bad came from that. A few inches to the side, and he could be taking a knee to the temple, or in the eyes, and it's game over at that point. Look at what happened to Petr Cech in 2006 - that was nowhere near as bad, or intentional, as yesterday, and he nearly ****ing died. 12 years later, he still wears a rugby scrum cap when he plays. That could have been much worse yesterday. Anyone that thinks it's an overreaction, feel free to lie face down on the ground, and someone from JKB can sprint in and slide tackle you in the puss and see how you feel about it then.

One of the most inexplicably horrendous challenges I've seen in a long time. What on earth was he thinking?! I like to think (read as hope) that he hasn't gone in there with any intentions of hurting Zlamal, but I honestly am struggling to think of any other reason than exactly that. Gerrard said Arfield started his challenge when ZZ had one hand on the ball, shows how little he knows about the rules as it doesn’t matter if it’s one or two. They were laughing at how bad the challenge was on SSN today and Danny Mills said even he hadn’t made as bad a challenge as that in his career. Can you imagine if it was Macgregor that had been challenged like that, punished as much as the letter of the law permits.

Jammy T Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 (edited) He didn’t try and nick the ball with his toes to slide it in. He led with his ****ing knees and started the slide into Bobby after it was clear that Bobby had control of the ball. I don’t care if any Hearts fan changed his ****ing nappies as a baby - it was the tackle of a coward and a complete a shop front of a player.
