Would love to have seen the reaction if that was Cattermole going in on Ben Arfa "well he got to the ball first, was just a bit silly" :lol:

 

Life jail minimum charge I guess.

 

 

It is not the first time Debuchy makes dangerous tackle.  Cowardice may be appropriate tbh.

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 s*** because it wasn't even a foul and their player is still standing up on his feet as he was nowhere near the tackle.

 

 

It honestly doesn't matter whether he was a yard away from the player and got the ball. Absolutely everyone knows the rules. Going in two footed off the ground is an automatic red card. It's as clear as they come as well.

The rules are wrong

 

They're not.

 

The 'intent' rule is a load of shit. When the ball is won first, and cleanly it should not be a foul, regardless of the tackle.

 

Even if he had slid through, gotten ball first, and snapped the opponent's ankle?

As soon as I saw him leave the ground in the reverse superman pose I took a sharp intake of breath. Needless, reckless and stupid. He's lucky that the other player didn't even make a half arsed attempt at the ball (probably because he saw a frenchman attempting to break the sound barrier screaming towards him) or it could have been a leg breaker.

 

If that was done on one of our players there would be a lynch mob out in force, especially if it was Catts for me or Larsson that did it.

You really need to have a look at yourself and how you see football, because if you cant see what is wrong with that tackle football isn't for you.

It is a crock of shit. He got the ball cleanly and never touched their player. If he'd cleaned the kid out fair enough, but he never touched him.

Pretty much what I was trying to say.

It just annoys me when I see 'intent' branded about. There is no intent to hurt the player with 99% of tackles, what there is, is a player that wants to win the ball back for his team. It was just unfortunate the ball happened to be bouncing and was just out of reach.

 

Is it a red card? Yes

Is it stupid? Yes

Was there intent to hurt hum? No

There's just no reason to go in two-footed like that. Always amazed when I see that and laugh at the idiots. It's never even a freekick if he goes in with the same speed but only uses one leg.

Nah. There's no place for that type of challenge in the modern game. It shouldn't be attempted and therefore does not need any interpretation. You do it, red card and it's just. Teaches players (of all ages) not to attempt those tackles. Next time you'll break someone's leg.
