| Quote FearTheVee="FearTheVee"When I watch it I see a player making a:1xo2zdu7 ludicrously uncontrolled tackle
Not over exaggerating at all? he tackled a player high by the outcome clearly but if he hadn't hurt dixon like the other countless high tackles i doubt anything would of come from this.
I do think McIlorum needs to change his technique because he does whack players with his arms a lot i think he needs to learn to do it with the should and he shouldn't be caught tackling a player high as much.

Quote Rogues Gallery="Rogues Gallery"Exactly, I still think he hits the shoulder first as Dixon falls into the tackle. However, it was still reckless and he deserves what he got AND it's perfectly in line with the guidelines. It was reckless rather than intentional and that's why it was graded as such

Section 2.5 (15.1b)'"
Amusing suddenly the disciplinary committees version of events is suddenly used to justify this shocking 'tackle' when usually they are being mocked as too lenient. Not that you'll have every disagreed with any of their decisions before though so you're fully justified to take everything they decide as the holy truth.
And I fail to see how his arm touching his shoulders for a split second before smacking his face is any justification. Are you seriously trying to say he wouldn't be aware that if you hit someone that high, who will naturally slump in the collision that his arm would eventually end up smacking his face? It wasn't like he was about to make a break and it was a last gasp tackle, he knew exactly what he was doing.
And let's face it, whilst you'd never admit it if that was any player doing that to one of Wigans you would not try and justify that as an accident. |

Wigan fans defending their own whilst opposition fans call for his head shocker.
Much like anything in life, the actual incident is up for interpretation. And there is enough evidence [or lack thereof to fit anybodies agenda. If you think McIllorum is a thug, then he deliberately went in to hurt Dixon. If you're a Wigan fan you can see the play falls into the tackle, and therefor was hit high.

Go back through all my posts on this sort of incident, and I'll always say let the review panel sort it out. You see I don't believe they are prejudiced, be it for or against any club. |

McCollum looks to put something on someone just about every tackle.
He's a common thug. Deal with it. Whether he meant to or not this time it's luck he hasn't done this a few times.
Just about every team has one it's unfortunate McIlorum is just about the most odious one in the league. Sly and cowardly.
I don't get your fans obsession with him he's a liability.

If you spelt his name correct it may add weight to your claim. so your problem with him is he looks for a big shot every tackle? also you need to learn what a coward is i have never seen him back down from any one and many of them are a lot bigger. |

Just a few points from your rant. How would you define a "common thug"? Wouldn't it be someone who is constantly in trouble outside the game as well in order to deserve the epithet?
Secondly, you call him sly and cowardly. I would have thought that would belong to someone who does stuff behind the refs back not in full view of everyone. Perhaps you need to think again about your choice of insults.
Our obsession with him stems from his faultless performances in the playoffs last season when he outplayed Lunt Burrow Higham and Monaghan earning himself England recognition as well as the double. As has been noted earlier he kept his nose clean pretty much all season and proved himself one of the best hookers in the competition. |

Really. He nearly soiled his shorts when Mickey Paea took issue with his attempted elbow last year at your place. Most players laugh at his pathetic antics. Which Paea did when the colour drained from Mr McIlorum's face.
He's no Nicky kiss. |

Let's agree that he was lucky not to be cited a few times last season.
You think McNamara picked all the best players for the world cup. Really.
Roby Houghton Clark Monaghan all better players and people. |
