Red card challenge on knockaert...

[Easy 10]

Knocky was (predictably) getting dogs abuse from the fans every time he was on the ball. I can only think that "Britos Airways" thought he'd earn himself a BIG CHEER from the crowd by completely wiping him out.

Utter animal. He should've had 3 red cards for that.

Yes indeed and when I see a challenge like yesterday it always takes me back to that sickening injury .

For those of you who weren't at Selhurst Park to see Henry Hughton end Gerry Ryan's career, it was basically a carbon copy of that.

Except that, unfortunately for Gerry, he had his weight on it.

Actually
I think a custodial sentence would be more appropriate

Nothing wrong with Britos challenge - way to much made of it - gimp knockart dived. However why play only LB in a poxy comp that's an irritant. Holebas should have been subbed after first yellow. Notice how Houghton did just that with Bruno ??

Me too, the sight & sound of that assault on Ryan is as clear today as when it happened, couldn't care it to happen to another of our flare players.

Had AK not ridden the tackle or dived as one moron said it would have broken his leg.

I guess you get a certain class of cretins that surfaces from Watford!
All believe their man has done nothing wrong.
The twa@t could've ended Knockys career

Fuuuuck. Think I need to type slower for this guy.

I only read your comment, so I did not relate them to what you were replying too.. Try reading your comment very slowly without reading the previous comment... fortunately I have lots of other things to do on a glorious bank holiday than read every word on here. Anyway, I'm glad we are in agreement!

 

[whitelion]

Tony Gale on commentary said Britos should be fined a YEARS wages!

Which should be given to Knocky.

That was dreadful - I suppose we're going to see Knockaert targeted this season as he's clearly a threat to defences.

 

[dangull]

Terrible challenge. Could have caused a serious injury.

However, I did enjoy Knocky making sure everyone knew how badly he was hurt, and then after the red card, he was back on the pitch without needing treatment.

 

[e77]

In fairness there was no moaning from the Watford fans sitting near to where the tackle happened if you look at the replay

 

[symyjym]

Should have his ban extended because the only intention was to break his leg. Good to see defenders getting wound up by his silky skills but not to that extent.
