Quote: captaindan "You must really get wound up at the dreadful unlawful penalty given as Angel Benny Westwood caressed Blake Green with a loving stroke accross his cheek in an effort to show him just how much he cares for him.....
Two wrongs don't make a right, but the Hansen tackle was unfortunate rather than deliberate. He did not attack the knee's but the leg got caught underneath.
The thug on the field was and usually is, Westwood, despicable player who brings shame to the sport. How do you justify that. Tell your kids its ok if the ref does not see it?'"
Can you please clarify where I made reference to Westwood or in any way defended his actions?
I suppose the difference is thought that Green played on, Ratchford didn't. Are we not questioning the potential to cause career threatening injury? A punch to the face, as quickly as it happened in the tackle, was never going to end Greens career, Hansens tackle, on the other hand could easily have had that outcome!
