I suppose, to an extent. Slightly different scenarios though.

Both are dangerous tackles that can cause serious damage to the body?

Good first half but we need to put far more pressure on the ball in wide areas. Constantly crossing to Torres and Drogba for 90 minutes will eventually result in a goal, despite Rio and Vida doing well so far.

Evra been caught out several times is worrying

Southgate stating the obvious shocker lol

I thought there was at shoulder level, with Vidic being firm rather than committing a foul , how I aaw it anyway

Vidic wasn't firm, in fact there was clear air between him and Torres when Flopando 'lost balance'...

Paramedics, call the helicopter!

Robert1986 · 6 Apr 2011 at 20:50

Raf injured.

So only once you see a shattered eye-socket or gouged eye he should get a red... you should take your ideas to FIFA.

Where did I say that? He didn't catch him, that's all I said. :rolleyes:

GiT · 6 Apr 2011 at 20:51

Evra again. Usually he's sound.

Robert1986 · 6 Apr 2011 at 20:52

Raf down again. Nani coming on. lol.

utajoker · 6 Apr 2011 at 20:52

yea, get nani on for right back.

Drogba just finished Rafael off.

Nani coming on, Park to RB then?

BaZ87 · 6 Apr 2011 at 20:52

Nani on for Rafael? :confused:

Valencia RB?

So what about these reds that players are getting for two footed tackles when they got the ball?

Fact is it's a dangerous challenge, a player shouldn't have to get injured for there to be punishment.

We don't see many career threatening injuries due to high feet. We see LOADS from two footed lunges. I suppose that's the difference.

explicit4u · 6 Apr 2011 at 20:53

Rafael off injured, nani on...????

Completely different sports, I know, but the transition from watching MMA and then Football is hilarious.

What relevance has that got to anything, as mentioned above?

A tackle doesn't have to do damage to be dangerous. If we relied on 'catching' players for cards, then... well, I don't even want to go into it.

But, we do! A lot of the time a player has to 'go down' to get the free kick/penalty. Hence diving.

Pique 2 in 2. 3-0 now

utajoker · 6 Apr 2011 at 20:56
