That challenge

Quote: smoking monkey "If you saw us regularly you would understand the absurdity of that viewpoint.

Re 'that challenge' have Fev fans been saving up their righteous indignation in the event that one day something might happen in a derby which might yield a bit of the moral highground lost after the Slatter/Johnson incident referred to in the "worst tackle" thread.

BTW I personally feel the 3 game ban is lenient even though it seems the offence was deemed to have been committed recklessly rather than with an intent to cause the injury it did. IMO spear tackles, whatever the outcome, are worse because someone lifting the opponent above the horizontal from between the legs must surely know the potential damage could be far greater than say a broken jaw.'"

I watch you every time you're on Sky, I do think you over rely on Chase, I also think you're very weak on the right hand side, but hey, if we all thought the same, that'd be pretty boring wouldn't it.

I think most Fev fans are too young to remember the Slatter/Johnson incident. FWIW, it was far worse than the "Chase Elbow". Be under no doubt, I find foul play of any kind, by anybody abhorrent.

I assume you are referring to the almost spear tackle by Briggs. Live, I thought it was bad and that Briggs was lucky to get off with just a penalty. Having watched it back on Sky+ though, you can clearly see that upon realising that your man had gone beyond the horizontal, they put him back down safely and no harm was done.
