The game is dieing a slow death.

Miss 80 mins of a match and a further 4 games for kicking a football and not touching an opposing player.

It's two footed. Whether you touch the player you are attempting to tackle or not, the rules state that if you lunge in to a challenge with both feet off the floor, you've got to walk.

So you keep fucking saying.

Rooney had both feet off the ground and within inches of Micahs head at the swamp last year and he is a god whilst Vinnie gets 4 games?

Both feet off the ground is utter bollox and effectively means headers, volleys etc should also be outlawed as well!

Two footed? Not a chance. There was only ever one foot making a movement towards the ball. When you make a slide tackle where do you expect the other foot to be, behind his body so he's doing the splits? His other leg had to go from, the movement wasn't of two feet together so therefore it wasn't a two footed tackle. Are you saying that if he has to win the ball with a slide tackle/interception in forward motion which means both feet have to come through although not together then he shouldn't make the tackle, should he just let Nani have the ball then?

Just a quick question BOB what standard, if any, have you played football too? Not trying to be condescending in any way shape or form here by the way would just like to know

Bastard - I thought there was a half-decent chance this would get overturned.

 

[Newman Noggs]

A bit of a pedantic point but it's effectively a 5 match ban because he missed the United game too.

Fergie, Wayne Rooney and Gill
