Ben Thatcher vs Pedro Mendes

Thatcher

Absolutely appalling.

As a former boxer, I don't even know where to start telling you the potential dangers and knock-on effects of clocking someone like that. The combined momentum of the two players would have dramatically increased the force of the blow. In the ring, you shift your body weight and use the spring of your lower back among other things to increase force. The two players were running at pace, even if they weren't directly facing each other when contact was made.

Cowardly, cowardly challenge and I hope retubution is swift and merciless - nothing short of a life ban is sufficient.

No doubt all the wee "never been in a fight" Youtube tosspots will think that it's hilarious from the complete safety of their wank-stained monitors.

Tell you what folks, that video has made me really angry.

:swearing: :swearing: :swearing:

The FA aren't taking any more action as he recived a yellow card and that's as far as it goes.

Mendes was concussed and suffered a seizure afterwards.

But, hey, it's ok - Thatcher has said sorry and wriiten an apology to Mendes, so that makes it ok.

Oh, and accordign to Stuart Pierce last night on MOTD, it was the "momentum" of Thatcher that caused the "accident".

Twat.

the FA are looking at making it a special case and possibly updating their rules so they can do something to him. Pearce said he hopes it was an accident and that Thatcher would be disciplined internally by Man City, which sounds painfull.
