He swung with a clenched fist at his head... if ever there was a sending off that was it..
Sad thing is 1/2 of teh other "head high" tackles weren't...

In the end probably would have been better for rovers if he was sent off.. now he's injured hope its a long layoff... justice mayhaps.

wow loving some of the blinkered one sided statements being made in this thread.....

Was it a sinbinning.... No
was it reckless...yes
was it intentional....no

Compared to the challenge that led to a sinbinning then yes it should have been a yellow, but never a red... Many challenges could have and should have been punished in the game, Watsy had a shocking swinging arm which was missed by the officials so it evens itself out in that respect, we will each see only the bad of the opposition at times and too much is open to interpretation and that is why officials are so inconsistent with their decisions .......

Blinkered... just watch the replay and you will see how blinkered we all are.
(Oh and BTW open your eyes and watch it)

You don't tackle a player with a clenched fist and aim for their head...

wishing a player be injured very classy

Ganson put the whole Rovers team on a last warning for head high tackles, and Horne was the next one, so got a yellow card.

Thought Burns's hit was a shocker.

go back a couple of pages i said it was no worse than the other 20 head high tackles

Balls

Sorry but that's the worst tackle you've ever seen?

Please

1 incident in Australia and one high tackle not exactly Paul Woods is he now that was a dirty player

wind ya necks in you fools! was a head high tackle and got penalised like he deservered but that's it!!, Horne was sin binned for a shirt grab! yet we still came out on top!

Oh my God, lets all back in history (that's where you lot live anyway) and dredge up dirty players. There were plenty of those about in those days and most teams had one or two. We're talking about now and the head-high tackle was a definite red - clenched fists and right round the chops. By the way, that 'one high tackle' in Aus cost him several games which also effected your team. Hardly and 'incident'.

I think it was reckless/desperate rather than malicious from what I saw (not watched it on telly yet for a replay) but regardless of intent isn't there a rule about last defender?

Ganson, has sent a few of our players off, in the past, for a lot less than that.
