Guest ItalianMagpie Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Anyway, didn't they say anything about what it could be? Do they know at least if it's broken or not already? Whelan reckons hes got a slight graze at most and will be back for the next game. Officially he's having a scan today and the club will update afterwards.

Guest bimpy474 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I've been watching the replays for a while now and I came to conclusion that he didn't mean to hurt Haidara. If you pay attention it seems that he tried (in a really bad and goofy way, completely unbalanced with the body) to kick the ball as far as possible and when Haidara quickly moved it aside in the last moment he missed it and went on to hit the knee. He's still a son a of a bitch cause he didn't even apologise and it's ridiculous that the referee didin't even give us the foul, but I'm quite sure he didn't mean it. No, you don't go to clear a ball in that manner, whether he intended to hurt Massy is a non issue for me (i suspect he didn't mean to hurt in the manner he did). You take the tackle on it's own merits and it's a shocking tackle, as bad you can really get. And what makes it worse is, it's the kind of tackle that you as the tackler know you aren't getting hurt in. But my point is that it wasn't a tackle, he wanted to kick the ball. If he had meant to tackle like that then I would agree, but from the movement it looks like he just wanted to kick the ball as far as possible. That's where we disagree, as someone who plays football, still 35 years now, as a hard tackling player i like to think, and i now referee also. That isn't a player going in to clear the ball, i don't think he meant to career end Massy tbf. It's just my opinion but there is no way that's a player trying to clear the ball, for me it's a "have that tackle" meant to be hard, but you know you aren't getting hurt type, cowardly in a way. It's an over the top, excessive force, endangering an opponent tackle. In fact, it's a tackle that Refs should be shown, it's a tackle that should be on every ref course from now on. Its a copybook wrong un. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Phil K Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 That's where we disagree, as someone who plays football, still 35 years now, as a hard tackling player i like to think, and i now referee also. That isn't a player going in to clear the ball, i don't think he meant to career end Massy tbf. From every angle Ive seen it he appears to have DELIBERATELY targetted not the ball, but Hadeiras leg. That was MEANT to "take him out" his swaggering about and clowning AFTER Hadeira was carried off confirms it in my eyes. He HAS got a previous for this, remember Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M1tche Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 anyone defending that is an idiot and should never be involved in any kind of football. its a shocking attempt at a tackle. How he wasnt sent off if beyond me from one angle you can see the assistant has a clear view on it, knee high and at point of contact he's not got any control over his momentum, its more like a drop kick to the knee from a wrestling match.
