you don't see many tackles like this anymore https://vine.co/v/OMbVhJbavOj 3 months reduced to 2 for that - gan on Eric
He got the ball [video=youtube;C8fMbxLTpps]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8fMbxLTpps[/video] Did Shearer even get booked for that? He'd have been banned for 6 months if he did that today.
I think he got out of it - it was rumoured that he refused to play for England if he got banned or something like that
Cantona used to jump all over players for fun, how many times did he stamp on players chests? Jesus, today he'd have been getting about 2 games per season if he was lucky!
I think you're right about that. Trial by tv didn't happen in those days so he thought he was being singled out. In his defence, it was only Lennon and he did apologise before he dropped him on the floor.
Shearer was a nasty piece of work. I'm staggered Catts has got a reputation among refs and the media when Catt's has rarely acted out of malice, just stupid, late and dangerous. When Shearer had a squeaky clean rep when he truly was a nasty player.
If I agree, then Somb will be along shortly to remind me of all Keane's and Cantona's wrongdoings! Instead I'll just acknowledge your statement. Football is definitely becoming more and more soft, it used to be considered a dangerous sport to partake in, now if a player injures another player on the pitch, the guilty party is treated as if he's been caught murdering puppies.
I was looking for some Razor clips of bad behavior and came across this. From 1:20, watch for Ruddock's running punch [video=youtube;59UIZaXyNaM]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59UIZaXyNaM[/video]
Remember this from Pepe... [video=youtube;jKt4IBxD5oo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKt4IBxD5oo[/video]
Gerrin I feel a Benno moment coming on! [video=youtube;KU8Lwixj6mk]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KU8Lwixj6mk[/video] Ps, David Speedie is **** who deserved that.
I don't want to see tackles like that. But Catts gets sent off for farting and that it just as wrong.
