Quote morleys_deckchair="morleys_deckchair"like i said.... he was penalised for the outcome, rather than the actual tackle.... if the player doesn't stoop down so quickly, hill probably gets both arms around the ball and were talking about an amazing tackle.
its fine margins.. especially when a player is diving to the floor. .. its contact with the head, buts its unfortunate... nothing more.
eye gouging and leading with the elbow into someones throat are both worse offences for me.'"
What was Powell supposed to do? Hill hit him fair and square with the forearm. Bad technique, unlucky, whatever it was a bad foul irrespective of whether he intended it or not. Have you ever had a finger in your eye? I can tell you now that you wouldn't react like Austin.
