What about his trailing leg?
What about it? It's football, not flower arranging.
black mamba said:It was a very provocative tackle , and he clattered into Nasri with intent ...... intent on MORE than simply just winning the ball ......it was exactly the type of forceful , aggressive tackle that has players brawling , and crowds baying , up and down the country ...... that's why Nasri saw red , in every way !

Compared to RVP reaction it was tepid to say the least.
It's time the refs looked at what they do and how long they do it for before making a measured decision.
Tapping heads is way overrated.
Whoever decided it deserves an instant red and three match ban needs their head red pardun the pun.

I agree, it wasn't accidental but I still don't think it was enough for red. We're coming to very gray area if such tackles would be red cards.

You are missing Mamba's point.....he was saying that he could understand Nasri's reaction not that he should have had a red!
Just seen it again and the follow through could have done some serious damage. Bassong knew what he was doing.
