Not a red card. 'Twas dangerous though and credit to Huth for apologising (if he did)
Pulis is ****; the amount of uninformed, disrespecting **** he came out with was bang out of order! As was the snow incident

I have just now seen the Huth challenge! Despite being a SAFC supporter I like to think I am unbiased!
Anyway.....I believe that the tackle was potentially dangerous but luckily he pulled out at the last minute and his momentum took him through! Looking at the video, it does look like that Huths knee may have hit Meylers foot but not enough for Meyler to feel any pain (Huth might have come worse off on the pain front), but a the foul was committed by Huth and probably deserved a yellow card. Unless Meyler fell awkwardly he may have feigned injury but he only did what 99% of all footballers do because the majority of them are tools! Unfortunetely I have not yet seen how bad Meyler was feigning his injury and whether he was rolling about in 'agony' but if it was a bad as Pulis/Stoke fans say it was then he would have turned into a giant snowball! ;-)

Thanks for that. If that is true, what chance has the appeal got? It makes no sense.

There's match highlights on the Daily Mail site. You can see him go down. Then he rolls over - once. By which time the red card was on its way out, if not out already. The height he fell from and the hard ground probably caused quite a jarring and, thus, pain, even if impact from the foul didn't.
I didn't see him rolling about, but he did stay down a long time clutching what looked like his shin, which was not in contact with anything except maybe the ground when he landed.
The rolling around comment form Pulis is probably a bit harsh (I'll await the missiles for that!) but he is absolutely right about the "disease" in the modern game where professionals try all sorts of methods in order to get their fellow professionals into trouble. In the good old days of my youth, and I'm not particularly old, you had to do something very serious to get a red card and it seems that nowadays refs dish them out like prizes and some players realise that with card happy refs and a bit of a con-trick it's getting easier and easier to get someone sent off. I'm not talking about Meyler here, I'm referring to the game in general, so don't start chucking stuff my way just for the sake of an argument.

Nice of you to decide whether Meyler felt any pain, you are basing that on what?
Take it you have never played football?
I did my knee in against a players elbow as he slid past me as I was kicking the ball, not too dissimilar to this.
The only difference was the guy came in from the side and I didn't see him so I didn't have time to stop my foot following through. Contact was minimal but the jolt through my leg was horrendously painful.
Two minutes later my knee was the size of a water melon and I was in hospital for a week having it aspirated every day, it was never the same after that.
Another difference was the lad was trying to block the ball not coming at me, Huth had no chance of making any sort of tackle and went in recklessly and dangerously, I'm pretty sure the appeal will not be granted because of that.
This is where our views differ. You are quite entitled to that opinion, just as I am mine, and I see it differently. Clumsy and foolish it might have been, but he realised his mistake, tried to pull his leg away and made sure his studs were down.
Have a read of this if you haven't already. He seems to be speaking a lot of sense, even the bit about TP being a bit out of order.

Isn't it good manners to apologise for hurting someone by mistake? I can't see how it can make any difference to the appeal.
Sorry mate, but if you slide in like that in those conditions you are not in control and therefore likely to injure someone.The point being that it surely can't be deemed as a mistake..
Strange how they all totally ignore the fact, he was going in to a tackle he had no chance of making, like a bull in a china shop. Intent was clearly there, even if he didn't have studs up!
He realised it was a mistake, hence trying to pull out of it and making sure his studs were down.
Aye, he did try to pull out, to late though. He should of got a yellow and good on him for saying sorry.
Pulis on the other hand has said there was no contact ( so why the apology?) and then went on to call our player a cheat FFS.
Tell me this. As the Ref immediately pulled out the Red what did Meyler have to gain by "rolling around"
Pulis is a nasty, cheating spunk bucket of a man.
Huth's tackle was a bad one. Wasn't showing studs, but he was in with both legs and Meyler's just come back from knee surgery.

How could he have hurt him if there was no contact. That's your Manager's case, isn't it?
A bit out of order he is a disgrace to the game of football and Huth pulled out of the tackle?
A dangerous uncontrolled and reckless tackle does not need to be two footed or studs up to warrant a red card.
If you think this isn't dangerous and reckless there's something wrong with your eyes.
Huth takes him out as his foot is following through on the ball, there is clearly contact and not as soft a contact as some are making out!.
The picture your thick manager is basing his defence on is laughable to say the least.

I've never had a ligament injury, but I have had a broken leg.
I can tell you that I always feel it, although the leg is strong, I'm always aware damage has been done (if the 12 inch scar doesn't remind me...).
I'd suggest that the way Meyler's leg whipped straight as he went into flight will have pulled on the ligaments, and he will have had a jarring pain, then the impact as well.
Meyler did not cheat, as the red was straight out, but I do agree that there are plenty who do look to get opponents punished.
I can see the case for a red, I can see the argument for a yellow, one thing that is certain, is that Pulis was bang out of order to call Meyler a cheat, and to say 'there was no contact', then send a ****ing photo clearly showing contact, just shows the idiocy of the man.
I have no bad feeling towards SCFC in relation to the incident, and I credit Mr Huth for coming out and apologising.
As for Tony Pulis, he can **** right off, the man is a ****ing dickhead of the highest order.

Didn't say you did. But it's not you making the appeal, is it, and that is what Pulis bases his case on, isn't it?
