I was talking about Cash not being in the squad. Roberts could still sort him out now.Nah, course he won't. Must be nearly 65 now!
Shame though - I don't think he would have any problem in sorting Cash out!

FWIW here’s the link to the match thread at the time of the tackle.
Match - Spurs v Villa Sunday 26 Nov 2pm
These calls just feel arbitrary. Thank fuck our way, this time.thefightingcock.co.uk
Whilst there are lots of posts about Cash being a cunt and it being a bad tackle, not one poster in the immediate aftermath says it’s a red (one says Romero got sent off for less though).
This is how you know subsequent events have influenced perception of the tackle.
Anyway, back to work for me.
That was me. Was true then, still true now.
Red card all day. Referee failed in his responsibility to protect the players.
Anyone offering excuses for the tackle or lack of red card is in denial of the truth.
Which is what I've been saying (inc. to you) every step of the way.
That's not universally true at all.
Some Scouse git or another..... The point remains regardless. Dippers would have been less riled, but the ref decision would have been no less wrong.

Yeah mate. A shoulder barge is completely comparable
The ball was significantly gone in the case of Rod/Cash too.
.....You were talking about the spirit and/application of the rules earlier; I know what one I'd rather our player had been subjected to and it wasn't the blatant hatchet job with the potential to seriously injure.

I guess you didn't look very hard......
...Probably others on evidence and of course not everyone posts in the match thread for every game.
- The first got 12 agrees. (Remember Romero's was all, but universally accepted to be a red.... Even if some insisted it was harsh)
- The last clearly thinks a yellow was insufficient.
You started off arguing that fans are only arguing cos of the outcome, but no result nor injury status was known at this time.
Literally none of those say it’s a red (other than the one that says “2nd yellow or red”). All they’re saying is it’s worse than Romero’s tackle - which is commentary on their view of his red, not the Cash tackle.
What are you talking about?! You’re tying yourself in knots mate.

I already explained sufficiently....
"Remember Romero's was all but universally accepted to be a red.... Even if some insisted it was harsh)"
If someone thinks Romero's was a red and thinks Cash's was worse ; then of course they think it should have been a red too... That's just basic fkn logic.
It is amusing how they have dug up all of romeros late tackles on twitter.

A lot of the people you quoted didn’t think the Romero tackle was a red.
A lot? I only listed four all told........
One of the 2 quotes you provided that say it’s worse than Romero’s is from Richard Arlison. I post 5 times a year on here and even I know he was outraged at the Romero red.I already explained sufficiently....

So your evidence is:-
- One post that said it’s a red or a 2nd yellow.
- One post that said it’s worse than Romero’s (we don’t know if he thought that was even a red)
- One that said the treatment of our players is a disgrace.
Yeah you’ve really refuted my point there.
There were no huge calls for a red at the time of the tackle.
Just to be clear because this argument is descending into chaos…..
I’d really like refs to give red cards for the tackle Cash made. I’d like petulant, petty fouls like that to be appropriately punished because they’re cowardly and don’t really help with the progression of the game.
But similar to how I feel on handballs, it’s not about what I want or other posters in this forum want. The reality is that right now with the application of the rules, that tackle is not being given as a red in 999/1000 cases, and that’s my view from watching a hell of a lot of football.
At least two of them I 100% recall saying that they didn’t think the Romero tackle was a red card.
They realised that laughing at an injury probably put a target on their backs that they can’t live with and don’t want the same to happen to them and derail their season
There’s no way you actually think that is why they’re doing it.
I'm sorry but no. We are not looking for referees to consistently get their calls wrong, we want them consistently right by the laws of the game. I don't care if 99% of "Cash type tackles" only get a Yellow, all that means is that 99% are wrong.
It was, in your own words, "petulant and nasty." He's gone after the player which is violent conduct. The end result is irrelevant, it's the action that is punishable by the law.
That is the consistency that needs to be looked at, you can't just cherry pick certain fouls because they looked worse than others.
I'll apologise now if my post is coming over as particularly belligerent as I'm not feeling that way, but I'm struggling to see how this can be interpreted any other way.
The laws were changed for the sole reason of stopping this type of challenge, to protect players from being kicked out of games and, potentially, having careers jeopardised/ended by hatchet men, yet the rhetoric now seems to be that we don't want Red cards spoiling the "entertainment." I've lost count of the talking heads saying that we don't want to see multiple sendings off because it destroys the spectacle. What they fail to realise is that this would only be short term. Once the hatchet men realise they'll get a Red every time, they'll have to stop, then the spectacle is improved because you don't have your talented players ending up like Bentancur.
