Festy Ebosele D Istanbul Basaksehir b.2002

[Predator]

He's a right-sided player playing on the left, so I think his body shape seems a little bit awkward on the turn and maybe it contributes to a sense that it was a dangerous tackle to make. Festy's right leg hits the other guy's standing leg first and that looks bad, but red card seems very harsh indeed.

At normal speed I was giving up, it was a great tackle. In slowmo the right leg/knee clatters the ankle and could have been nasty, arguably dangerous but very unlucky, he couldnt have tried to come down on the ankle like that with his own leg tucked under him if he tried it again.

I watched it ac couple of times and then noticed the ankle of the player and couldn't watch it again.

It's nasty but unintentional from Ebosele. He won the ball and it shouldn't be a red. But it's hard to watch

It is where Rugby is getting it right, TMO review, is there foul play, is there intent, is there mitigation etc? So yellow car in this case at most as a footballig incident, but I will also say that if it was Parrott on the recieving end Id be fuming I think.

But not Ferguson. That guy is finished anyway.

(Can't work out how to embed YouTube videos any more! Only time I got a video showing, it was a UCD Youth League game for some reason!)

I've added a short howto to the important links threads on embedding YouTube videos, hope it helps

Nah, but when he scores a last minute winner againt Denmark he'll be added to the do not touch list!

[John83]

Yeah, the problem is the knee of the trailing foot. His leading foot gets the ball cleanly.

Hmmm. A very rare case of a still shot being useful!

[osarusan]

Hmmm...is the argument that no matter how it happened, ending up with that kind of impact is dangerous and needs to be punished?

Or is there an argument that tackles or just phsyical contact can bring about these kinds of collisions and it's just part of the sport?

This is an example I always remember of where the most innocuous-looking tackle can still have horrible impact:

Yup no shadows being offside or in ths case making the tackle!

I think it's just part of the sport. Collisions and accidents will happen in a contact sport
