Two days later Redknapp was claiming he hadn't seen it – five minutes after the Balotelli incident he had seen it from all angles!
Was there for that one, it's been mentioned that Hudd had developed a bit of a nasty streak, that was on Elmander's midrift wasn't it? If hudd did do it on purpose then yeah, that is disgraceful but stamping down on someone's head is a much more serious action, he could have done some permanent damage to Parker, I think Mario would have lost his lovable eccentric persona if that was the case.
As for the harry not seeing the huddlestone incident, it does annoy me. Platt did exactly the same thing, burying your head in the sand makes it a hell of a lot easier, which is why any post match interview should include the key incidents being played to the manager/assistant manager during the interview.

2 hours, 10 posts, and 12 pages ago. In my opinion you are only here to wind others up.BLUEMOONISRISING said:Game of opinions, just because mine doesn't for once happen to favour 1 of our players I'm a rag??
Regardless I'm not going to post in this particular thread again its pathetic - See you in the Liverpool Pre game thread where I wil no doubt be predicting a 5-0 Defeat and calling for Mancini to be sent to prison for another imaginary Kite flying exercise ;-)
Do you have anything else to add about your club ? There are lots of other threads....
Pity you don't read SWP's back or DTeacher's posts as much as mine or you would see this has been covered and re covered!
I'm not here to wind people up, just not about to be cyber bullied by people for not defending what was In My Opinion a cowardly and vicious assault!
I'm still on here because I find some peoples theories on his landing mildly amusing - Talk about clutching at straws....
Mark - TheBlue said:I'm sure when I saw it from another angle Webb saw the whole thing. So its in his match report. So no action can be taken?
BLUEMOONISRISING said:cleavers said:Question for you, when you were at the game yesterday, did you leap up and shout "send him off" when you saw it at full speed ?BLUEMOONISRISING said:Ive spoke to at least 5 fellow blues in the real world and all have said it can't be condoned, yet on here it seems as if I am in the 1% believing he was in control of his stamping foot!
fair question - And no I didn't but to be fair, I never saw what Michael Ball did to Ronaldo either until I seen the replay.
The point is, in an age where CCTV is rife, the things missed by the naked eye will never be missed by a camera.
Yes slow motion makes it look worse, and this might sound like an exaggeration - Imagine if parker was face up and a stud went into his eye?
I'm sorry if it makes me sound like i'm hanging him out to dry, but I don't want to see that in our game from anyone, least of all 1 of our star players.
If you don't think he did anything wrong, maybe you are more forgiving than me but my interpretation is he was frustrated once again, lost control of his emotions once again and then tried to counteract with a crap dramatical display.
It was spur (!) of the moment but at the same time if his natural reaction is to lash out at the slightest touch, he will cost us games when it is picked out by the ref on the day and then you lot will be the 1st ones to slag him off and I won't take any satisfaction from saying I told you so to a fellow blue
