Quote: Large Paws "All tackles should be as 'hard', as the laws of the game permit.
The only problem with this tackle was that it was on TV, and as I have said, on that other forum, the only reason this one was penalised was because there was an opportunity to replay it countless times. Neither of the officials on the pitch, who were both within metres of it saw anything wrong, and play would have continued had Tv replays not been available.'"
100% correct, if the referee doesn't ask the video ref to check then they shouldn't get involved. If we want two referee's, put them on the pitch. It's getting like a computer game!
