Didn't see much wrong in that from that angle.
Might not have happened if the player started the match in his own half, stealing a good few yards.

ha well spotted. Keelys comments really disapointted me here, fair point about the reffing, but he really villified the lad who tbf challenged for a header, jail like, im baffled with that one. Shels player has more sense than the shels manager, and Keely said your man has a empty head or something like that, he'd want to look closer to home if you ask me.Quote:

True - if the player started in his own half the clash wouldnt have happened
For the waterford lad to run the distance he has, to win a ball in the air, he would have had to have eyes only for the ball - i dont think it is possible for him to have any intent to harm the player
Also- and maybe most importantly, OBrien didnt actually even challenge for the ball - he never left the ground - he just kept running - had he risen to win the ball in the air - I dont think there would have been any clash of that nature
The full back clearly won the ball also, OBrien didnt attempt to actually win it I dont think
I cant say from the video if his elbow caught him or not and i couldnt see from where i was sitting either, not trying to defend him, but for the most part players have to use their arms for leverage
From talking to a lad sitting right beside it he reckoned it was the way he fell that did most of the damage - anyone else see it?
Nothing wrong with the tackle. Went for the ball and unforunatley caught the other player.
Hope he's fit and well soon.
Did some poor fella break his leg in one of the games? Anyone know how he's getting on?
A Stabbers player broke his leg away to Athlone.Quote:
