Worst tackle you've seen

[Dario Terracotta]

Ye, was looking to see if anyone remembers that one, never seen a worse one in all the years I have watched The Blues, should never have stepped on a football pitch after that , absolutely horrific.

My old fella is still traumatised and he's 85 now

Mc Kay was at Derby County

Yes, he moved there from Spurs.

2 bad tackles in same match, dished out by Suarez (jaws), one on mirallas , tried to break his ankle. The next was when he tried to break distin's ankle by stamping on it. Vermin.

Yes, they were both awful.

Mirallas returned the favour at some point IIRC. Glorious.

Was rewatching that Ben Thatcher one last night and can't believe a) it was only a yellow (same ref as the bell on Sky), and b) the commentator said "that's on the brink of a red".

Do that today and you're in prison.

I think Moyes is employing Nolan as a coach at WHU presently,

He is, but he's regularly a guest on BBC football daily sucking off Klopp

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Every tackle attempted by Cuco Martina

 

[Dario Terracotta]

Yes, they were both awful.

Mirallas returned the favour at some point IIRC. Glorious.

Yeah,that was the next season,think about 15/20 minutes in he basically just booted him up the oraface,there was a scream/yelp from "sorearse"and I think we all thought mirallas would walk and that he'd cost us the game,maybe the ref knew thé previous mitigating circumstances and just dished out a yellow,was hilarious though

Jimmy Case on Geoff Nulty was a dreadful tackle.

And what about Dirk Kuyt on Phil Neville.

 

[Dad watched Dixie]

Marwood on Adrian Heath is up there, it wasn’t just the view of it happening it was the noise it made as well, then Goodison just went quiet for a few seconds!
It was inevitable Marwood would get “done” not long afterwards,, it was just a case of who would do him!

Gerrard on Naismith was the action of a total coward!

Still makes me sick to this day. Reid is excused as he was doing Gods work.

Giles on Sandy Brown.

There was a player at St Johnstone in the 80's called John Pelosi and he was the dirtiest player ever seen and was sent off dont know how many times in his career. Queen's Park played them at Hampden in the mid 80's and he went in flying two footed off the ground on one of the QP players and sent him flying who then got carried off injured and Pelosi got sent off. He was fouling left, right and centre during the match, just like the rest of the team and remember that all 10 of St Johnstone's outfield players got booked!!! He also ended the career of somebody with a tackle who ended up suing him!!! He made Vinny Jones look like a saint

Witsel threw one in a few years ago. Stomach turner. Also that elbow by that scumbag who's name I forget down on the south coast, think it was against spurs. Blindsiding someone is very cowardly. Shame the game doesn't cater for straighteners anymore, unless it's haircuts.

Spoiler: Warning! Oh dear me it's still as bad

I'd like to think a team mate or two would leather him for that. Either side. Really naughty.

 

[heatmeiser]

Gary Bennett on Ian Knight - horrific.

Sheffield Wednesday v Chester City Feb '87.

Leg broken in seven places, lad of 20, England U21 player, has his career effectively ended. (Made about 30 more appearances for various clubs, in a span of six years after that night).

Read about that and he described his leg as being like "wet liver" afterwards ...

Grim

 

[DOMNOLAN]

No one mentioned the tackle on Coleman yet? He went out purposefully to break his leg
