Roofe challenge

Dont think we really know what the rules are anymore, they change them that much!

However going by recent years, the push seems to be towards 'intent', if a tackle looks like it's meant to do damage to a player then they usually get punished retrospectively 

Roofe's looked worse in real time, its a bad tackle but you can clearly see he's going to shield the ball and catches the guy, there's zero malice in it. As I said I could've had no complaints if he'd been sent off in the match, it looked terrible in real time but if a panel of so called 'experts' can sit down with all the footage and say he deserves a 3 game ban for it then they don't know football.

Intent isn’t a factor, it’s endangering an opponent. He did that, could have easily broken Davidson’s leg had things went wrong.

 

I will add to this discussion though, that Lego should have been sent off v Kilmarnock. Again, the intent is irrelevant, he’s endangered an opponent by swinging an arm out.

If that is the official rule then Roofe will likely be charged

However by that interpretation it could literally mean anything...you endanger an opponent with a clash of heads...its not intentional but can cause serious damage...case in point was Jiminez a few months ago for Wolves

If its getting to the point where any tackle that could've caused an injury, whether it does or doesnt, is resulting in a 3 match ban then we're as well chucking it. 

As for Brown, haven't see it, read it was a swinging elbow though, surprisingly it hasnt been given much coverage...

He did lunge for the ball and if they want to use the rule book to go after the Rangers players they can. The ref normally is giving a bit of leeway to evaluate intent and act on that. They are fucking up Scottish football. 1692E752-2BFB-4C25-B875-B3654ED1B991.thumb.jpeg.c74eab9c2ce455a0e81a4c486cd67463.jpeg

If the tackle from the Dundee Utd player who gashed Morelos leg is considered as not ’endangering an opponent’ (on that rational) it’s difficult to honestly say Roofe’s is.

It was undoubtedly clumsy and mistimed but no worse than the above incident and did not cause injury...

if davis had not saw the challange coming from kane and jumped out of it that would have been every bit as bad as roofes

Can certainly have complaints if it's been seen clearly by the ref (it was), was dealt with at the time (it was) & has since been downplayed by the opposition manager.

This.

I've read your post a few times and have no idea about what you're talking about :huh:

He’s tried to get his body in the way, and block him.  People talk all the time now about intent, which I find strange unless you can read minds but let’s go along with it for now. Yes he gave him a sore one, but there was zero intent to injure him and simply therefore it’s not a Red.

Mate, everyone has their opinion.  It’s just not a Red in mine.  Zero intent was shown to injure him, and every effort was made to back in and block him.  Yes the boy took a hit, but no way did Roofe set out to do him.

Mate why is it you think intention plays such a part in what the outcome should/ will be?

If intention wasn't relevant to outcome but the potential to hurt an opponent was, would it be a red card?

He’s endangered the safety of an opponent by the letter of the law, hence why we wouldn’t have argued with a red card IMO.

All of this sudden secondary refereeing is a direct result of the Morelos witch-hunt. You could basically cite players from every game for misdemeanours. The ref dealt with the Roofe foul by branding him a yellow card so move on!

They are making a mockery of the game.

There are cases of "endangering an opponent" at least twice against one player by two cunts who got off with it this season,reckless fouls by that clown porteous when he elbowed Alfie and that cunt Edwards at D/Utd and left him with aleg full of stitches.
Quite sure McGregor recklessly endangered Kamara when he grabbed him bodily,stuck his elbow into the back of his head while throwing him to the ground,then tramped on his leg.It was blatant "endangering an opponent" and me personally felt it was intentional,not sure what the 3 person fuckin panel were watching when they said no case to answer.
This is not whataboutery,it's just that we want all cases to be called with parity.
