Exactly.
Thatcher has always been a thug.

i didn't think it was that bad.

If the players wern't such dandys and wrapped in cotton wool then they would watch out for this sort of thing more often.
Soccer is full of players who seek to expliut and expect protection from the ref. Sure it was aggressive, but it would not have been so bad if the players don't demand physical impuntity when they have the ball.

Last time I read the rules you couldn't tackle someone by smacking someone in the face with your elbow.

Yeah, right....he wouldn't have a seizure if that had been the case would he?

the way his head hit the ground was probably that knocked him out, but that was a cheap shot from behnd.
even in a sport as rough as ice hockey there are limits.

word, bottlerocker, it's a physical game. i played for home farm and glentoran reserves when i was a young buck, and got me some proper fucking knocks. i was a hard nut tho', had to be. theres now less 'appreciation' of the physicality of the game, too many fucking cardboard hard cunts trotting around the pitch in their gold and white boots. poofs. folk like tommy smith must be turning in their graves if were fucking dead. daft eh?

Physical game or not. I pay money to see skill and ability, not violence.

yeah there's being a hard cunt and being a stupid cunt, and that challenge was fucking stoooopid.
there's being a tough guy and being a japseye...he should be banned and charged.

it was bad but I've seen worse.
If it had been one of the big boys of football no one would have batted an eyelid. Alan Shearer got away with worse for years and years the dirty fucking cunt.

my sentiments entirely, soda, lad. and another thing, if anybody's watched that kids film GOAL, see the treatment the little mexo kid gets in the training sesh at newcastle, that's a doing and a half he gets eh. i reckon we're just getting too fucking soft, see if i'd been thatcher's manager, i'd be telling him to get that stuff done in the first exchanges, rather than waiting 'til the 65th minute, man..y'know, show the hairy fairy cunt in the white boots on the wing who's the boss, like. some of these guys get in a week what i get in a year(56k). gotta expect a pummelling now and again. daft eh?

I wonder what the authorities should do, something about seperate charges, for example the football head honchos would ban him and fine him then the police would lay down a second charge something like that. Any way you look at that it is a horrorshow.

legend.

that dunc orc was a hoodlum playing in a team of hoodlum orcs.

(Aug 25 06, 06:33)there's plenty of footballers who have done worse and fuck all has happened to them. Getting back to Shearer, he booted Neil Lennon in the face and nothing happened to him. Neil Ruddock has just come out and said how glad he was when he broke Andy Cole's legs and had set out deliberately to do it. Fuck all happens. I'm not condoning what thatcher did, but the witch hunt is bollocks.

thanks carver, you just confirmed something for me :D
