Would that be the ex-Ramblers player you're on about there?

So let me get this straight... players shouldn't be punished for dangerous play? Have I got that right? My dislike of the St.Slopeman's Park brigade is pretty well-known and I haven't seen any pictures of the incident but it sounds to me lads like you're all (well, not all of ye to be totally fair) getting a bit defensive whe one of your players is being hauled over the coals (a l� a certain goalkeeper not so long ago...) I don't like Cobh but fairs fair, if the tackle was as bad as it seems to have been then, unintentional or not, Woods should be punished for it. I'm not asking for a season long bang but depending on the actual severity of the challenge maybe somewhere in the region of 3-6 matches?

sits back and waits for the attack to begin

Look, SLK, the tackle was bad in the sense of mistimed and a bit high.
It was not a premediated attack and Woods simply is not the type of player who you could call "dirty".
What Ramblers fans are completely ignoring is there there was a tackle in the game deemed worthy of a sending off. It was by their #4, O'Donovan. Now I've only seen the game on the multi-channel and was not there, but Woods tackle was bad, the attack on Woods by O'Donovan was bad, and the vicious tackle on Kevin Doyle , also by O'Donovan was also very bad.
A player got his leg broken in the Woods tackle, and while this is a terrible thing to happen, the hysterical ott reaction of Ramblers fans is completely hypocritical in the context of the actions of one of their own players.

lets get one thing clear folks.

a foul was committed and a yellow card was issued.

the referee saw the incident and dealt with it.

therefore talk of video evidence is nonsense.

first of all, in the Premiership if the referee sees an incident and takes action then thats the end of it. video evidence cannot be used.

secondly, video evidence cannot be used in this country.

**sadloserkid** · 11/04/2003, 1:14 PM

Fair enough so, like I said I haven't seen it at all but it sounds then as if Woods is getting away with it because the ref was muck. I like Woods (he caught my eye when I saw ye last season) and wouldn't have called him a dirty player either but I can understand where Hill's boys are coming from at the same time (though I agree with you that they're absolutely filthy!)

**ramsie** · 11/04/2003, 5:42 PM

The ref was from city and i no he hates cobh teams as i see similar performances from him at alot of cobh wanderers matches.
hes a cheat.
i dont know if woods ment the tackle but he still went in to high and showing studs with both feet .

Well if that was the criteria for banning a player for a season, there wouldn't be a club in the country which could field a team...

agreed. i wasn't at the game, but I saw it on chorus and it didn't look as bad I believed it would be from what I had heard. According to one or two players the pitch (or should I say beach) had a lot to do with it as well yes it was a bad tackle, yes woods should probably have been sent off, but it wasn't maliciouc and therefore any talk of bans is stupid. the only people who should be hauled in front of the MFA are ramblers for hosting a match on a pitch in that condition- that was a disgrace.

OK, after that incredibly well thought out and persausive argument, I guess Woods should be banned for 3 years after all.

IDIOT

**Rambler 4ever** · 13/04/2003, 2:56 PM

and ref video evidence can be used because mark cliffords and your man foleys red card were taken back because of video evidence.........UNLUCKY your talking out of your ass boy

**tiktok** · 13/04/2003, 7:17 PM

why don't you go get your chairman act then, get him to go to the powers that be with the tape and demand a ban. whinging to us is going to get nothing done.

i feel sorry for the lad that's injured and wish him a full and speedy recovery but unfortunately bad injuries can occur when you're playing ball. the vast majority of injuries that are due to tackles are unintentional, and we all know that woods isn't a dirty player. you're welcome to your opinion, but you've expressed it already so end of story.

ok maybe it can be used to rescind a red card but if a referee gives a yellow card for an incident then there is no way that that card will be changed to a red card under any circumstances.
