Ste Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 What else is he doing with two feet off the ground like that? Everyone knows the rules now and there's been enough leg breaks to know what happens as a consequence of challenges like that. It's idiotic and cowardly.

NG32 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Not sure "cowardly" is the correct term to use realy. Reckless and dangerous, towards a fellow professional. He's gone into a challenge he is very unlikely to get hurt in but if he connects with the opposition player it is probably going to do a lot of damage! Cowardly for me. Im not defending it, Im just think "cowardly" is the incorrect term to describe the incident. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I don't think he actually intended to hurt him but it was a 50/50 and he went in with a cowardly challenge where the only outcome was the other player getting hurt if he caught him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Was a stupid tackle. Not cowardly and don't think he tried hurting him. Was just plain daft. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomson Mouse Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 He clearly went for and got the ball without touching the opposition player. Stop knee jerking and using cowardly, it's not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 If anythng "cowardly" would be someone who pulls out of a tackle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Fucking idiot. Absolutely no need to dive in with two feet like that. In good form before today but he's the reason we fucked it up. No way were we gonna lose before he went off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 If anythng "cowardly" would be someone who pulls out of a tackle. No just someone who goes into a tackle with two feet in the air knowing they aren't going to be the one that gets hurt if they clash. Not sure why him not making contact means it can't be cowardly.

Flip Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 f***ing idiot. Absolutely no need to dive in with two feet like that. In good form before today but he's the reason we f***ed it up. No way were we gonna lose before he went off. Only one person to blame and that is Pardew. We've been shite all match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you watch it back he has his feet on the ball before the other guy is anywhere near, he clearly went for the ball and had a brain fart while doing it. Nothing malicious in it at all.

Pardew's selection today was awful, the performance was insipid, but if you're telling me a) Debuchy isn't at fault and b) we looked like we'd lose with 11 men, then you're as stupid as your posts are shit.

Guest firetotheworks Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I don't get why he did it either tbh. He was having a decent game, he's in good form, there was no reason for him to be frustrated or anything. It was just out of nowhere for absolutely no reason during a time that he's been in very good form. Fucking bizarre but still idiotic nonetheless.

ujpest doza Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 He was never anywhere near their player, never touched him and got both feet to the ball. I understand why he got sent off but think it's shit because it wasn't even a foul and their player is still standing up on his feet as he was nowhere near the tackle.

Skirge Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Foaming with him as much as I want to say he won the ball and he did it was a stupidn fkn tackle to make. Always going to be a red in this day and age and he knows it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
