I think that's a very fair and magnanimous opinion offered there owg.

I'm sick & tired of all the fuss the lad has created ableit accidently. Sky Sports interviewing Cech's ma and her saying it was definitely deliberate?!! Unbelievable.

As far as mourinho's comparison with Essien's tackle last year the main difference is that his tackle looked worse every time you saw it whereas for the life of me I can't see that Hunt meant it,no matter how many times I've watched it.

By accounts, Liam Brady's missus has opinions on football matters that are well respected.

As a matter of interest what did Mourinho say about Essien at the time?

It's Pythonesque comedy.
I remember his initial reaction to the Essien tackle was (to paraphrase) 'I can't give an opinion because I didn't see it' But he did see Sissoka's tackle on whoever in the same game.
Later, after he saw it, he prefered not to comment with some cryptic logic.

The Essien tackle did not look malicious to me. Not in the same league as Keane's tackle on that Norwegian.
