[QUOTE="Topper, post: 492023, member: 186250"] Well I have seen many mistimed tackles this season, At what point does a tackle become a mis-timed tackle? At what point does a mis-timed tackle become a bad tackle?, one that warrants a sending off. At what point does a bad tackle become such a bad tackle as to deserve a three match ban? I have seen many two footed tackles this season that the ref has not even blown his whistle let alone this incident which was a one footed tackle with his studs showing. So unless someone can create a system where there is consistency in ref's decisions you cannot apply willy nilly three match bans just because one player has more brittle bones than another. Don't get me wrong I am not saying anything against Eduardo but in sport these things occur and the players obviously think it is an acceptable risk when earning such vast amounts of money, or is somebody holding a gun at their heads?
