Ken, I can't look at this at work and my laptop is broken so I can't view it. Did Schumacher not turn his back or his side into Battiston in order to avoid worse contact and also to avoid hurting himself? I thought the contact was with his hips, no? I also thought he ran out at pace and quite late had one of those "oh sh1t" moments where he knew he was beaten to the ball.Originally Posted by ken foree
I honestly think some of the recent two footed tackles we've seen have had more intent. Hunt's tackle this season was a disgrace (vs City?) yet the one he'll be remembered for was the Cech tackle because of its consequences, even though it lacked intent.
I'm very much open to correction
The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist thinks it will change; the realist adjusts the sails.
Consider yourself corrected, that was possibly the worst tackle of all time, nowhere near the ball and purely intentional, probably even worse then his Corkness' on Halaand!Ken, I can't look at this at work and my laptop is broken so I can't view it.

Tackle
God the French team were tiny then.
Why is Tigana in at second fav? Is it that despite Venables being a clear fav. the panel have decided it is anybody but Venables?
Houllier is supposed to have recommended Tigana.
Houllier is out, Venables may not be ratified or even recommended.
Unless Coppell can be convinced (highly unlikely) we should just give it to Brady and hope he puts a good set up together, the players keep fit and actually take some responsibility.
I agree - verging on the criminal. Also full of intent.Consider yourself corrected, that was possibly the worst tackle of all time, nowhere near the ball and purely intentional, probably even worse then his Corkness' on Halaand!
