[Purdy]

Going in from behind and getting your legs tangled in another players causing that outcome is always a red.

 

[Ayahuasca]

That’s grim

 

[badgeruk]

Was a good game this

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

I've only watched it once, and I'm not watching it again, but my first impression was that it wasn't a bad challenge and he got his studs caught. Just unlucky. Regardless, most important thing is Elliot. Hopefully it's clean and he can recover faster than it looks at present

Yeah, thought ligament damage initially so a leg break's probably better for his long term career.

 

[omnomnom]

Oh balls. Poor kid.

 

[Purdy]

It’s not really a freak outcome, same thing happened when Son went in recklessly on Gomes iirc

Dont tackle from behind if you’re going between their legs on follow through

He’s literally off both feet and lunging following through the back of Elliot on second viewing, awful challenge

 

[Tombstone]

I imagine the game will probably cruise to a 2-0 conclusion now after that

 

[omnomnom]

Thankfully some Leeds fans applauded him off but for the ones chanting "always the victim" they need to hang their heads.

 

[adam cool dude]

Why they didn't show it back? I remember when Like Shaw broke his there were about ten replays.

 

[watercooledman]

shocking challenge from behind. *******

That was years ago though wasn't it? After the Eriksen one nobody's going to risk that criticism again

They never do anymore, not on Sky or BT anyway.

Because nobody wants to see it FFS. Times have changed, we saw the reaction from Salah it was bad.

Not really any need to reshow it anyway, its on sky so anyone who wants to see a replay can just rewind the footage and watch it again

 

[Robbo]

Watching the replay back I'm not too sure either way, he looks like he's trying to get the ball and unfortunately Elliott's leg gets caught underneath Struijk's. Wasn't sinister, you could argue it was a bit reckless but we see similar tackles quite often. Just unfortunate really.

 

[Andybtsn]

That wasn’t a red card. Just really unfortunate

 

[mmj_uk]

I've looked at it again and I'd say the red card was fair, although he didn't really go in from behind as they were almost side by side he jumps in with both feet off the ground and his trailing leg does the damage, full weight of his body.

 

[antijoke]

Watched it again just to see how bad the tackle was and his leg was just dangling there all limp

Jesus, absolutely horrible and it’s a red due to the injury caused. All day, every day.

 

[kinetic747]

Thankfully some Leeds fans applauded him off but for the ones chanting "always the victim" they need to hang their heads.

One of the reasons I care less and less about football in general.

 

[Purdy]

You watched it back? Because two feet well off the ground and through the back of the player is really, regardless if you get the ball or injury
