which brings me to this observation: english refs might just be the worst out there

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Taylor did not try to injure Eduardo.



You obviously haven't watched much Scottish football.

English refs are probably the worst in any of the major leagues.

what exactly do you have to do to try and injure a player??!

Good news, but in terms of that game, WHO CARES about Eduardo when this was in display

Wilshere is a talented little fella , can't wait for his breakthrough

Hardly a punishment for what he did. 3 game ban, Hleb got a two game ban 3 weeks later for touching a guys face.

what happened to that barnsley player not long ago was the biggest unpunished crime in the history of football.

sorry for the poor quality it was the best i could find

Iain hume elbowed intentionally in the head by chris morgan who has a reputation for his dirtyness off ball, ultimately causing a fractured skull. Difference with eduardo's case, the tackle wasn't intentional eventhough it was just as serious

Anyone remember this? From WC '94. Leonardo gets a red card. Our boy Ramos got his cheek bone chattered.

Morgan is a montster, that should not be allowed to play football, theres no doubt about it. But i am yet to be convinced that Taylor didnt intend to hurt Eduardo, why were his studs so high??

 

[Osman]

It was reckless, but not malicious intent to hurt, together with the unfortunate timing of Eduardo having his studs stuck on the grass, which made the HUGE difference and is very vital for the break.

For example, I have seen Diaby make identical tackle but in WORSE version then Taylors, but Diaby, despite how ridicolously dangerous it was, didnt break the guys leg, because the players boots werent stuck on the grass, and hence he didnt break it after hitting it, because of that vital condition. I see similar reckless tackles being made, some worse then Taylors, but the difference isnt they arent as unlucky as Eduardo who has his boots stuck on the gras, hence tackling his foot right in that instant meant that dangerous injury

 

[Fred]

Diaby can be malicious fucker too, nobody ever denied that.

 

[Badass J Elkann]

is it not harder for a player who is 6'4 to get his timing right or better than a player who is shorter with a lower centre of gravity?

Look at tackles by Roy Keane or Souness, when they go for a guys knee, or when players go throwing elbows about. That is trying to hurt a player.

Taylor went into the tackle to try and get the ball, but Eduardo was too quick so he decided to bring him down. It was just unlucky that it resulted in a serious injury.

He send him off. What would an Italian ref have done, killed him with his bare hands?

Nobody tackles the knee regularly. Not Keane. Not even Souness. Nothing you can do with an elbow is as damaging as a clumsy lunge at the shin can be. I think Taylor was a mix of a naturally dirty player and a screwed up tackle. No one goes for a leg break: you'll get sent off every time (unless you're England's great white hope - Gerrard got away with some awful tackles in his youth), and break the leg maybe one time in ten.

 

[Elvin]

That guy who crushed Cech's head was pretty reckless.

Stephen Hunt. He's a bit rash in his tackles and prone to seeing red, but I think that one was a lot of bad luck. Here's the video:
Listen to the commentators, "I think he took a little knock." "I think he just caught him with his shin."

yes i used one instance to make such a blanket statement oh and english refs are still the worst

 

[Sadomin]

West Ham just bought Savio from Brescia for £10 million as Bellamy's replacement.

A camera which followed Hunt after he went away showed Hunt winking towards the Reading bench after that incident.

Did he ?

 

[jukazem]

Did he ?

Uh huh! From watching close-ups I was convinced that he lowered his knee and slided to catch Cech, most other players usually jump over the keeper; it's almost mutual that the keeper stays low and the other players jump over, isn't it!. I hated Hunt for sometime after that.

 

[jukazem]

While the theme is ditry play, have a look at what Materazzi used to do when he got playing time.

and his reaction after that.
