Quote: Staffs FC "I'm not sure I agree. I think the fact that the player is purposefully driving his legs forward should allow a defender to tackle that player around the legs to prevent the forward motion. If the attacker is being held stationary that would be a different matter.'"
There'd be no problem with him wrapping up the legs. He does dive in a bit for a hit though, and it seems to be something they want to clamp down on. By itself, harsh but not ridiculous. Well not if he'd taken his EGP, but that's a different argument.
I agree with Sheldon - somebody else will do something similar (or worse) and it'll go unpunished. Spin, spin, spin the wheel of justice...
