Match Day Thread Vs Everton (H)

I think this game depends on what Everton do imo. Will they play football or park the bus? Don't think they've got the players to do the latter effectively. I'm expecting that we'll ****ing smash'em tbh

 

doesn't matter as the effect of the "same" tackle can vary hugely i.e. if Taylor carried out the same tackle 50 times probably only once would the result be as severe and on a number of occasions the tackled player carries on the game after 2 mins treatment.
we have all seen games where horrific tackles have done no real damage much to eveyones surprise and relief. You also have a problem that it is an attempt to tackle which is legit unlike punch/elbow which are not part of football.
It is amazing how many top flight leg breaks are from innocuous tackles rather than the traditional "leg breaker" type tackle.

don't get me wrong i'm not condoning Taylors "tackle" in any way but this is why the reckless feet off the ground challenges should be a red card irrespective if contact actually occurred
again just my view

 

No one would know if Taylor did it intentionally or not apart from Taylor himself.

 

Whether it was intentional or not, it was still reckless and needless IMO.

 

We know that Jimmy.

Point was more for harsher punishments. Ie prove intent, as accidental would be harsh to have a severe ban.

 

Alis tackle in the EL was far worse that was front on into the shin and the guy was lucky didn't snap in half, guess shin pads helped in that case. At least Taylor came from slight angle and it was Coleman kicking the ball and ended up bringing his leg into Taylor's foot which is what caused the injury.

 

Delle Alli is a serial diver,whinger and petulant displays inc punching & seriously dodgy tackles

 

I really dont think anybody wants to see that. I would go further to say that anyone who does hold that opinion should be barred by mods asap as they are NOT football fans. That would not be banter, just wrong simple as.

 

Let the judging panel decide then.

As i said ive seen guys head shot in rugby and get suspended for a lot longer than the guy who got it.

Ive seen suatez dealt with 3 times for his mouth when no oppenent ever missed a game.

Imo football is hopelessly corrupt as every video panel or fa disciplinary panel has proven it... however... any ex pro employed to look at fouls like these imo would say yeah real intent and hand him 10 games. He might just get 3.

 

Its still good for us that coleman and mccarthy wont be playing.

Zanjina just has a bee in his bonnet

 

Lithuanian just hacked alli down.

 

I would contend every ex pro going need only look at 2 mins of that game and lbow it was totally intentional

 

why?

 

for me it is not about that right now, Coleman is a cracking player, his career will be different now, it isnt just the physical aspect in danger. Will he be able to go in for a ball again now this has happened without any doubt.
Wish him all the best, he will get the best care money can buy so he has an advantage there, lets hope he gets back to full speed.

 

I dont think he meant to break his leg but i think he meant to hurt him.

 

Not really. I'd rather beat their strongest XI than be pleased our "chances of winning" are better because opposition players are injured.

In modern day football, there usually isn't too much difference between first and second choice players anyway.

 

Queue the celebrations from some quarters...

 

Which is why he needs the book thrown at him

Like that guy who punched someone for talking to his girlfriend and he died

Any intentional attempt to attack should be treated an attempt to ruin someone's life, which is the only way to make the attacker think twice

 

Id disagree.

Milner - moreno
Matip - Lucas
Mane - Woodburn

Its a nice thought but if we were playing a CL final v Barca id bite your hand off if you said could play them without MSN. You're not going to look back and go year I didn't enjoy celebrating that CL win because Barca were missing 3 players. You'll just be ecstatic that witness and celebrated the win.
