LP we will have to disagree on this.

That's his right but it doesn't necessarily make it right. All based on opinion.
Absolutely. No point going backwards and forwards making the same point over and over though. I've made mine enough. LP is perfectly entitled to see it incorrectly, ahem I mean differently ðŸ˜.
LP, don't worry, Tommy Smith's legacy wont be damaged by these tackles now being straight reds, he was allowed to do it back then. You don't have to back them.

Perhaps 25 years ago that tackle would have passed with little or no comment although I suspect his fellow players would have noted it.
However, it was clearly dangerous and showed no consideration for the well being of the other player, particularly when you see where he made contact (just below the knee).
Current laws of the game define it as reckless and endangering an opponent. Therefore a red card.
In answer to the question "What is he supposed to do?" the answer is don't make the tackle if you cannot do it without recklessly endangering your opponent.

What ?
Attempt at humour. It was a tackle Smith would have made regularly during his career. I insinuated you were defending Haydyn because it was reminiscent of a Smith tackle. Actually, if I have to explain it.......................

Ah that’s the problem - surely for it to be humour it’s need to be funny ? But as you have explained it - I can now confirm .. it’s definatly not humour ðŸ‘

I shouldn't really have to explain the history of a club to a fan though, should I? 🤣🤣You should have explained who Tommy Sith was

I was around 40 yards from the tackle, can't believe that you are trying to justify that LP. Could have ended Praet's career. I have no doubt that you would have seen it differently if the challenge had been on a Liverpool player.
Exciting start to the season at the King Power. Absolutely soaked walking to the ground and spent most of the match drying out, but five goals certainly want a long way to forgetting the weather.

Just seen it, proper shocker. He's too far away and at the wrong angle to win the ball without hurting the other player, he knows what he's doing IMO.

That still pic makes the tackle look a 100x worse than it was, which was pretty bad anyway.

Seen the challenge on MOTD just now, it's a shocker. Stonewall red. You can't fly in with that velocity when you know full well it will send your follow through into the opponent's leg. No question about it.

Just seen it .
Deffo red and I like a good tackle but that’s to high.

Funny how Phil saw it differently when it was Kompany making the challenge isn't it?

Please don’t ask to see my tatts 👍

Do you want to bookmark that for future use during the season? Save you searching again when it will inevitably be required 😄
