DaveF Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Can't really blame this guy or Matic for reacting, both original tackles were awful... This reaction was maybe a little over the top though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 I can understand a reaction of a bad tackle. I've torn my ligament twice in my left knee, and my god its painful. The rehab for that injury is a long process, and I understand why someone would be upset, however, it is in the rules that you can't react like that. Hopefully the appeal process will do its job.

BCAGFC Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Martin Atkinson says he saw the tackle and didn't think there was anything wrong with it. :o Well I would suggest he takes a trip to Specsavers, or gives up refereeing, if he can't see that could have been a career ender. Horrific tackle and should have been punished at the time or with retrospective action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 I have posted this before but it is one of my favourite things in football. Back in the 70's the City were away to West Brom and there was "an incident" between Citys John Emmanuel and WBA's Willie Johnston. This was pretty much word for word what the report in one of nationals said. "Emmanuel took the ball from Johnston in a hard but fair tackle. Johnston seemed incensed and chased after Emmanuel punching him several times in the back. When Johnston came round the referee sent them both off" ! I always loved the fact that this report left out the right hook with which Emmanuel knocked Johnston out. It was a beauty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esmond Million's Bung Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Martin Atkinson says he saw the tackle and didn't think there was anything wrong with it. :o Well I would suggest he takes a trip to Specsavers, or gives up refereeing, if he can't see that could have been a career ender. Horrific tackle and should have been punished at the time or with retrospective action. He saw it once and to be fair nobody who saw it the first time and at normal speed thought it was bad, in fact if you look at it every Chelsea player turns away and they only react after Matic reacts, which suggests they didn't think it was bad at the time, it took several views and slow motion before the horror of it became apparent. He can only give it if he sees it, he dealt with it as he saw it, it's the league rules that are the actual villain here not allowing retrospective action on an incident deemed to have dealt with. of course if you actually saw and called it at normal speed, then you should enrol as either a referee or Superman's stunt double.

WolfOfWestStreet Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 It's a contact sport people ffs sometimes people get hurt. Footballers in the modern era are protected more than ever before. All this "career ending" tackle nonsense - when was the last time a player had to retire from a tackle of that kind? Get a grip.

old parkender Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Not one bit of favouritism there was there?, firstly no mention of the reaction by Ivanovich, so I assume he condones that type of WWE embellishment and secondly he didn't mention whether his view was from high up, because if it was he had a completely different view to the referee. Imagine the outrage had the black guy on the Paris metro had gone down like Ivanovich with an audible scream, a triple roll and then jumped back up once the metro had pulled out of the station. Just putting an experienced ex pro and commentators view on it. Bevin does say he was sat at the back of the East stand a fair way up so had a good if distant view, certainly a chelsea flavour to it but thought it a good piece from a man who actually played top class football( from an era when there wasn't so much theatricals) Imagine the hysteria on here if nathen Thompson goes through freeman like that when we play Swindon.

Aizoon Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 If the ref couldn't see that ynst tackle merited a red card, then he's in the wrong job. If the referee has one purpose, it's to protect players from tackles like that. Oh, and just to preempt the morons, I loathe Chelski. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pezo Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 I think almost any tackle that goes wrong is potentially career ending, I don't that foul was particularly bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
