[stormin]

Check out this tackle that went unpunished and tommy gets a red card and a 3 game for his scotttish football at its best .

Scottish football has always been "anything goes". Tough and wild.

There are no tackles in that match as outright dangerous as Tommy's. Grant's own effort wouldn't look out of place in the video but Tommy went *at* Grant.

These guys in the vid are incredibly clumsily lunging at the ball and making contact with each other basically incidentally. It doesn't mean the tackles are smart - they're not - nor that they're not reckless - they are - but they're not a patch on a lunge at a player.

Tommy just snuck his studs down before striking Grant, and both players should be very glad he did - a nasty injury would surely have followed had he not.

It's not the worst tackle ever, there have been plenty at least in the same league or worse, but let's not continue to pretend nearly 2 weeks later that it wasn't a deserved red.

i don't think anyone has said that . but in terms of fouls committed on tommy during the game.
it holds no credibility.

............... but let's not continue to pretend nearly 2 weeks later that it wasn't a deserved red.

Don't know what you've been smoking Dibo, NOBODY has said in this thread that the tackle didn't deserve a red. Everyone is pretty much saying it's about consistancy. Surely you can accept that decisions need to be consistant?

Fouls committed on a player aren't necessary reds. The FFA also has disciplinary guidelines that Gus at least would be very familiar with that essentially bind minimums on the offences.

Wasn't a red.

Fouling an SFC player is not reckless or malicious.

It's a biological imperative.

 

[dibo]

Ha!
