To Marco Silva and Danny Murphy, last week Tom Huddlestone was sent off for a tackle that was exactly the same as Neil Taylor's last night, just because he didn't cause a serious injury doesn't mean it doesn't warrant a straight red card. If you go in over the ball with your studs showing on an opponents standing leg you can end a career and that is why these sort of tackles need a more serious punishment than the customary 3 game ban. If it was one of our players who committed a foul like that I would still say the same. Rojos at Goodison on Gueye is still one of the worst unpunished offences I have seen this season. In the Chinese Super League a player has received a fine and a 6 month ban for a stamp, we need to follow suit to cut out possible career ending injuries. I don't care what excuse Taylor comes out with he went in to that challenge to cause damage simple as that, he left the floor high and over the ball studs showing straight through Seamus leg, no excuse just dirty horrible foul play.

Good point bluegray. Roy Keane broke a lads leg on purpose so these players know what damage they can do by not tackling correctly.
If it was a mistimed 'proper' tackle then ya can say fair enough but that was high, over the ball and studs up.
Don't wanna make it a non-contact sport but this type of tackle needs more severe punishment. As I said last night, Taylor should be out for the same time as Seamus.

Plus the way he went through coleman If there was 4 players standing skin tight behind coleman they would have snapped legs as well. If that's not pure intent then intent does not exist. Absolute scum bag tackle. Very good point bluegray.
