Fab South American style 'tackle' in League 2

[DerbyGull]

It's like when you accidentally press the slide tackle button on FIFA

Quality, that made me laugh out loud.

I may be really dim here, but I don't really think its a red! He hasn't exactly gone in high on him? Hang on, I'll have another watch..

 

[Timbo]

Nope definately not a red. It's only that the ball is so far away it looks so bad! If he'd only just missed the ball it wouldn't have been a red!

Except, presumably, that as it's so far off the ball it's not actually a tackle - he could be sent off for violent conduct. He certainly couldn't argue he was attempting to play the ball!

I agree with the earlier poster - definite FIFA moment.

Thats a joke right? He wasnt in the same postcode as the ball

I should have gone to spec savers?

Has anyone got a Youtube version for us expats where the BBC decides not to show its media?

 

[Superseagull]

Love the way he put his hands on his head when shown the red card like he was shocked by the refs decision.

Good point! And very right.

Why is that a red card? Typical fa, they're trying to sanitise the game. It's supposed to be a contact sport. Man up ffs.

 

[Twinkle Toes]

Marvelous Chopper Harris-type scenes.

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

I'm sure the words "what for" can be lip-read as he holds up his hands in inocence - seen many Sunday morning games turn into a fist fest after tackles like that .... marvelous scenes !

Love it, i bet the winger had rinsed him all game!
