Only just seen it. He's flying towards Burrow before the ball is even thrown to him. Rubbish throw by Peacock and he shouldn't have passed to him anyway.

I'm blame Peacock personally for us losing that game

burrow tried too duck under like a little munschin

Nothing wrong with it, contact witch shoulder, appalling decision from the ref.

I'd suggest that teams employ a midget who would therefore be more or less untackleable unless the defence was prepared to lie down and risk being penalised for trip.

It's odd that Leeds' fans don't have an issue with Burrow's height.

You never did answer me, how come you are using a UK ISP provider? Come over for the match?

Saints fans have a problem with him because they are sick of him tearing them apart at Old Trafford.

But didn't you know. As soon as Lyon comes back they will go on to be the greatest team ever!

The ref had to stop play though because you can't have an player knocked out in the middle of play.

ah yes, just like when a team scored off robbie burrow being knocked out

How long has Sydney been in this country?

I don't know, I take it Fredie is just a user name then.

Neither do I, I'm just saying that it creates problems in deciding what's a high tackle and what isn't.

When Burrow gets a hospital pass and out of the corner of his eye sees a big bloke coming at him very fast he's bound to take evasive action. If that action taken in the split second before impact results in a what would have been a legal chest high tackle becoming a head shot then whose fault is that?

How, aren't his shoulders still at the top of his torso and below his neck?

Anything above the shoulder is high.

the tackler


he has option of tackling Burrow anywhere below neck level

Are you being deliberately obtuse or are you just thick?

If it's above his shoulder its' high, regardless of his height and regardless of his body position.

I'm glad you said that G.
I thought he was on a wind up but then realised scousers aren't that clever!

So if a player ducks into a tackle or slips at the last second and gets hit in the head that's the tackler's fault?

I suggest you have a look at the rule book mate.

he was worried . about burrow's super scoot up his leg

What does it say about the situation I described?

Tackles above the shoulder are illegal.

Spot on & anyone who has seen the replays (with eyes open) can see a tackle ABOVE the shoulders.

However, as the aussie joke of ref judged; IF in doubt give an off side decision

What a cop out!!
Watmough's line speed was excellent.

Cheers for clarifying.

Thick it is.
