Quote: Kosh "The stuff in the tackle I can live with, although I don't like it. At least players are braced for an impact and it's up to the ref to penalise anything that crosses the line.
The off-the-ball stuff is cowardly and dangerous. Period. None of them would have been expecting a tackle or a hit - they weren't even the kicker - and none of them would have seen it coming. That means that the chances of an injury are way higher than in a tackle or when a player can see a hit coming.
Derby or no derby there's no excuse for it and I wouldn't have been happy to see our players using the same 'tactic'. It was thuggery, pure and simple.'"
Surprised someone so righteous isn't in church on such a holy day rather than sitting surfing the web
