It is a well known fact that tackling is becoming less and less part of the game due to foreigners/diving coming into the game⦠some of the tackles that maybe would be allowed in the old days compared to nowadays⦠My contribution⦠[video=youtube;MVOcGMmez00]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=MVOcGMmez00[/video]
There's lots of the on here (close your eyes after about 1 minute in - the ref dived ) The other attack on the ref was shocking The Keano tackle - awful [video=youtube;Rx0DHVB2mNo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rx0DHVB2mNo[/video]
Nothing beats a broken leg tackle on a sunday league pitch, 10 fully grown blokes throwing up their hangover breakfasts. It's a weird watching a leg snap from 10 yards away. Brutal, shocking and I'm ashamed to say it gave me a rush.
I enjoyed the bloke who decided he was better off throwing himself over the railings into a stairwell abyss than fisticuffs with some angry little sod in a green top.
Worth googling The Battle of Berne from the 1954 WC and an English refs involvement. BBC cut the last ten minutes from the TV broadcast, today's divers would not have last 5 minutes.
