Just been listening to Five Live, Sir Trevor Brooking was on and he said that he had personally contacted referee chief Mike Riley and asked for retrospective action to be taken on James McCarthy.

I think it's a conflict of interest for Sir Trevor Brooking to get involved what with him working for the FA and been a West Ham supporter.

Bit like players running to the ref trying to get someone a red.The sort of behaviour everybody frowns on.
 
Come on West Ham, you can afford to pay for your new Stadium

It clearly was a foul - He was booked - It was a question of was it a yellow or red. INTENT is meaningless - GETTING THE BALL is meaningless. I can come in from the front and get the ball first with both my studs showing and shatter someone's leg but because I got the ball first it isn't a red? - BS. - There is no mention in the rules of the game on INTENT, or ball contact first during a tackle, or Coming over the ball. There is "Reckless" (Yellow) and "Excessive" (excessive force and endangering the safety of an opponent is guilty of serious foul play should be sent off) Dier should have been sent off as well. Anyone that thinks that "Getting the Ball first" absolves you from a card doesn't know the rules of the game. If you don't like it, fine but those are the rules.

The rules used to be even was off but they aren't anymore similarly, tackles that probably were "Legal" 20 or 30 years ago no longer are. Thank goodness cause I would rather spend time and money watching players with skill than some goon like Vinnie Jones play. I like hard tackles, shoulder charges etc, and yes injuries can happen with clean tackles. But chopping down on someone's leg (the motion of McCarthy's leading leg) with a scissor tackle is absolutely endangering the safety of an opponent.

That's a disgrace on his part and should be disregarded and dealt with fairly.

Nope.
 
jesus christ, the state of this place saying it was a red, what's wrong with you?

Goat's spot on here, dier's was a perfect tackle, just like james' was an attempt to do. He got the ball, but i think he caught the man first so it was a foul. But he was perfectly in charge of it, sod all this scissor nonsense, if someone goes in with both legs to chop down someone's ankle, yes. But you can exactly make your other leg disappear, just like you can't make your arm disappear for some ludicrous handballs i see given. Do you people want football to become a non-contact sport? Players get injured, sometimes because of contact from a tackle, sometimes they get worse injuries due to no contact at all!

Accidents happen, the bells at west ham need to learn that. Not sure i agree with laughing and mockery of payet mind. Just put him in my fantasy team so rule of thumb saw him get badly injured straight away.
 
Tony gale was very complimentary with us to start but lost his rag after that tackle and turned into a bit of an idiot. That tackle was not even close to a red, if it was football may as well give up on hard tackling.

some proper mamby pamby arse wipes in here.


It was a good tackle, he won the ball, the ref booked him, end of.


All the Whammers whinging in the world, nor you precious little cry arses in here, are changing anything.

It's a mans game. Man up or go and watch tennis ye quilts.

can you imagine the rugby world cup where players have to tackle a bit softer to limit the chances of injury.
