How the fuck is a keeper allowed to even do that in this day and age. Just flies in with his knee.

I just wanna be able to moan about him doing the obligatory modern-day footballers' apologetic 'hands up non-goal celebration' when he scores against his old club!!!
...I'm sorry, but you're new here...
Am I right??
Well that was horrible. Side point his team mate who was clearly scared for his pal rushed over and picked him up! No no no. That's the worse thing to do. If it's a spinal injury you can paralyse the bloke. It's emotional response but players need to be taught.
Pot. Kettle etc.
Micky, I’m perfectly pleasant to people who aren’t trolling online looking for an argument because they have fuck all else to do in their old age.
Now if you want to take a day off from being a tedious old windbag I’ll be nice to you as well. Maybe you could even post something related to football? That would be handy on a forum about football.
Yep, horrible tackle. Came to mind when I saw the situation with Solanke, even though that was of totally another level.
Keepers are most often allowed to make them "bigger" to protect themselves in the air. If I recall correctly even this tackle was not penalised! (*Edit - not in this match, but two game ban)
And, as you said, not the best first aid either! This was back in 2007 so probably better knowledge now..
It’s hard to police because raised knee can be seen as a natural movement.
I think that keeper knew his knee would hit the attacking player.
Why are you obsessed with my age?
You don't see every post I make, I do talk about football, but I try not to join the witch hunts that collect on here, and the hysterical imaginations of some of the posters here are astonishing - some of the bollocks that some come out with is incredible.
If it's an opinion that differs from yours, you pretty much always start slating the poster, in my case trying to make out that I must be senile because I don't share your POV.
So I push back.
I'm perfectly pleasant with people who are pleasant with me, I can always argue my point without resorting to abuse, my policy is to converse with people as if they are stood in front of me - until the abuse begins.
I'm quite capable of fighting back though, the army teaches you to do that.
But I'd much rather get on, even if we hold different views.
Will be our natchwinner on Thursday is my prediction.
Mentally getting through today will give him a big boost.

Him, Son and Maddison. Bergvall a decent outside bet. Need to watch the game to know if I think anyone will be our match-winner but if it's anyone, I make you right.
Son - then Maddison going by the slim pickings of big ish matches we have won this year.
Johnson and Solanke could score the winner - but maybe from a tap in.
When Son and Maddison are on it - we play well
Agreed, hes clearly not fit though. Looks half a yard off the pace etc which is to be expected
So Ange plays him 90 minutes - because of course he does …
