not so sure, the replays show he had studs up but going away from the man.
pissi...marriner done what was right in the heat of things. it's only the replays that show a different light i'm not a fan of video evidence but exploit the rules as they exist.
I agree, the replay shows the tackle to be nigh on perfect and infact not very dangerous at all. It is studs down, one footed and hooks the ball away. I just can't see it being look upon in that way, they will simply see the image of Tiote levitating and end the discussion there and then.
If we were allowed to personally argue our case and show replays etc then we might have a chance, but under the current system it will simply be waved away. I even worry that it could be claimed to be 'frivolous' and his ban could be extended.
