Tackling Is Dead

[Blue Tooth]

From the same game.......66mins Swansea are furious that referee Foy took no action on a flying two-footed lunge from Larsson on Sinclair. Larsson did not make contact with Sinclair, but it is exactly the sort of challenge which officials are supposed to be clamping down on.

Why let go continued incompetence and inconsistency?

Interestingly neither tackle shown on MOTD.

Don't get me wrong it was not wreckless and he got the ball, all in all a robust but well made tackle that helped him win the ball.

The issue is simply that if you go in at speed and win the ball or not, injury or not you open yourselves up to the possibility of a red card.

So players should walk into tackles or allow them to go past?
