Red card challenge on knockaert...

[Butch Willykins]

I was completely FABRIGHASTED when I saw it on Sky.

After getting home I was chatting to my neighbour and his dad, both Watford fans.
Both genuinely embarrassed at that tackle, and is not the first time Britos has done this!!

You are home!!!!!
We are by the Palladium rehydrating

It's horrible watching the dark side to football.

Strangely I won tickets to todays game, in the home end, sat next to the albion fans (and by the way we sounded incredible today).

Went for a pint at half time and comments were all along the lines of disgusting tackle....stupid boy....what was he doing etc....

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Nearly broke my leg on the seat in front when we went ballistic at the tackle. Broke the back of the seat though!
Watched him take off with a flying lunge in disbelief.

Lawro on 606 said it was absolutely atrocious, like a kung fu kick

 

[Rookie]

Absolutely disgusting challenge, he even had the audacity to look shocked at the red. I had full on rage, not 100% sure what swear words left my mouth. Bloke meant it and should get a lengthy extended ban.

 

[GreersElbow]

That isn't a tackle, that's a kung fu kick, I hope he gets a lengthy ban. No defending that.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Absolutey disgusting challenge and he should be banned for a very long time.

He won't be though because we get more upset about diving and pathetic little things like a little trip or push on the ref in this country than potentially career ending challenges.

That's a leg breaker, if I ever saw one. Fortunately Knocky managed to jump. Dreadful move! I won't call it a challenge or tackle as he went for the man.

As I'm sure you've now seen, he didn't jump. Luckily he had that leg off the ground as the tackle came in. If it was planted it would have been snapped, I'm sure.

Anything can look bad when it's just one frame.

What pissed me off more than anything was the Watford fans booing AK as if it was his fault that **** was red carded. Football fans astonish me sometimes. We were right in line with it and that was assault, not just a bad challenge.

They booed him from the start, including when the teams were read out

The worst tackle I've seen live probably since the one that ended Gerry Ryan's career.

At least the ref had the red card out immediately

It's a well reasoned, balanced and compelling argument if you ask me.

Use [.tweet][./tweet] by the way without the points, and just the long number between.

Are you serious?

Er... yes.
