Worse Tackle in Champions League.

**NeilMcD** · 06/11/2007, 8:44 PM

I think I have seen one of the worst tackles ever tonight in the Celtic Benfica game. I hope Brown is ok and recovers for the game in two weeks for Scotland. The Benfica guy should get a decent suspension.

Absolutely rank tackle. Could have snapped his leg into two.

Just looked at Souness tackle against Steau Bucharest for Rangers. That now ranks up there as one of the worst in Europe. Pity Billo did not bring that one up.

I'm somewhat surprised I can still muster a laugh after seeing that gruesome assault. Horrifying. And I hate the way they slow motion replays afterwards, I actually turned away.

To be fair to me I can watch a surgery or something like that alright but for some reason, maybe cos I've been on the receiving end of a few horror tackles, when it's on a football pitch I can hardly bear to watch. I think Brown was actually lucky it was as high as it was because he caught him more in the knee region than on the more susceptible shin district. Get well soon Scott Brown, great player. Binya, you deserve serious reprimand, off with you to Pakistan to look after the rat children.

He should get a six-month ban for that.

Clear intent to break the chap's leg.

**drinkfeckarse** · 07/11/2007, 8:44 AM

God only knows how his leg didn't snap in two. One intention only in the guys mind and that was to break his leg. Hope he gets 10 games for it.

Finally someone brings me into a conversation. Don't worry lads I'm a very approachable sort, ask all those questions you've wanted to ask me.

Horrible one allright ranks up there with Keanes and Gerrards sickening cowardly tackles

**BrayUnknowns** · 07/11/2007, 11:02 AM

Shocking tackle.... just as bad as Bosvelt's on Irwin many moons ago when Man Utd played Fyenoord in the champion league. And the sneaky b@stards substituted him before he could be sent off...

**L37Ultra** · 07/11/2007, 11:52 AM

Ah they kept showing that on Sky Sports last night after the match. Every single time I couldnt watch it!! Horrible tackle, the worst I have ever seen. He should be banned for the rest of the group stages. How he didnt break his leg I will never know!!

**Docboy** · 07/11/2007, 11:53 AM

Brown was lucky in that he didn't have all his studs planted in the turf as if he had his leg would surely have shattered. Sickening to look at and I fully agree that the aggressor deserves a heavy punishment.

Gonna be a top player by the look of him, Brown.

You've got to love Scotland assistant manager Roy Aitken comments

Aitken believes it could have ruined the former Hibernian player's career, and insists UEFA must hit Binya with a long-term suspension to show they take such fouls seriously.

"It was a career-threatening tackle," said the former Celtic captain.

"There's no way he [Binya] went for the ball at all. He went completely over the top of the ball. Scott went for the ball himself.

"He's so lucky and hopefully he's escaped without any major injury."

Aitken is looking for UEFA to impose more than the mandatory one-match suspension.

All fairly normal

He told Sky Sports News: "It's not for me to say what would be a fitting punishment, but if we're going to stamp out that sort of challenge within the game, and if FIFA and UEFA are talking about cleaning the game up completely, that sort of challenge is just totally out of order.
