keithgersbear 3,225 Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Do you think not enough players take care with their tackles and do really stupid tackles to impress the boss and completely forget about the safety of the player? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Sasac 164 Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I think some players are just naturally 'dirty', or rough. I would doubt ANYONE goes out their way to injure another professional though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Williamson. 82,212 Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Most managers wouldn't be impressed by one of their players putting another out of the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuirhouseBear 291 Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Football is fast becoming a non contact sport which is an absolute joke. The games just becoming far too technical.A hard tackle will get a bigger cheer from the fans than a 40-50 yard pass will and thats the way it should be.

dummiesoot 16,006 Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I think tackling properly is a dying art, taking the ball and showing the opponent they will get crunched, nowadays it is just flying in. The worst thing is the 'swinging trailing leg' this never used to happen but causes a lot of damage as legs tend to be trapped by the tackling/leading leg. I'd ban the scissor tackle.

Pfft. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
