What was "rash" about this tackle? Robinho was through into the box and only had Given to beat. Beye would never have caught him. The only chance to prevent Robinho from scoring was to try to sneak the ball away from Robinho with this kind of tackle - which he did with great perfection. Only that Styles got his decision wrong as usual.
Yes but even thought he slightly touched the ball there was every chance it could have gone wrong, so thats why im calling it rash.
So he should have just made no effort and let Robinho score then?
