This is nothing short of ABH, and should be dealt with by the Police. They seem to think they have immunity because it's a sports match.

I'd expect a decent length ban for thatcher

Hey, Spurs ain't a dirty side!

I agree Thatcher's a thug, he used to play for Millwall and Wimbledon before Spurs. That challenge was shocking and further action should be taken against him.

Absolutely sick. Tim I rarely get riled on this forum but your response is disgusting, so shove it. And also, that video is way less U rated than 99% of the stuff said and posted on here.

Sick.

Me and the majority of my Man City friends agree that the right course for Pearce to take is to offload the lad. No place for him in the side,

Anyone got him in their fantasy football side?

Its a mans game. It is about time the ballet dancers p*ssed off and let real men play.

Only rule, if you can't take it, don't give it.

to be frank tim, you're talking bollox. yeah granted the game was harder in the 70's and 80's but you seem to be saying that challenge was OK?

doesn't matter what era, that challenge was outrageous.

the bloke went into an epileptic fit and has been in hospital since.

Keith I don't dispute it was a foul, but it was not the worse foul I have seen and at best was only deserving of a yellow card. If the guy suffers from epilepsy and it is brought on by being taken out on a football pitch. For his own safety he has no business being on one.

A head injury can cause a seizure if it is bad enough - he didnt necessarily have to have a seizure disorder already.

You don't have to suffer with Epilepsy to suffer a fit, a serious blow to the head can bring one on. How you can say that wasn't a red card I'll never know.... Since when has leaading with a forearm been OK for you Tim ??

.

sorry jelster - I repeated what you said - I didnt read right through the thread.

It's now time for the FA to stand up and be counted, It's cobblers that the referee has only given a yellow card.

A seasons ban from all Fooball grounds is the minimum he should expect for a challenge like that, as that and more is what you would get if you did that in the crowd.

Trouble is that off-loading him will mean that he still plays for someone.

He needs banning. Yeah, I know I'm a Red Manc but my view has nothing to do with tribalism.

Tim Wilky:
I doubt that you've ever posted a bigger load of bollox on these forums. Sorry, but that's what I think. No personal offence intended.
