Quote ="voodooroo"Regardless of you lot handbagging each other for brownie points the fact remains that the ruling sets a very very dangerous presidence for future BIG hits, because all refs having seen that red card will now no doubt get a rush of blood every time a bell ringer is thrown into the game and off will trot a innocent forward again !!!
Even other professional players are bagging the ref all over the social networks for making the wrong call.....
at the end of the day Rinaldi is a shorter guy than Moa who was semi stooping as the hit connected, even if he had simply wrapped him up and bent him backwards the chances are he would have been sparked from a forhead in the gob or similar...
Like Barrie mac said you cannot penalise a man for powerful shot that accidentally knocks a man out or are we now going to give referees lessons in physics IE speed, size & velocity equals what??
It was a massive hit that was right on the button, thats why the London boys were consoling Moa as he went off and after full time because they all knew it was a wrong call and the best judge of a bad tackle is how other professionals react to it, there wasnt even one London player who ran in annoyed by it, none...says it all to me...
Yes it connected with his head but Sam did not raise an elbow and neither did he finish him off on the floor...
Poor call from most ,Ref and red hall disagree... one match for Sam now move on thats all there is to it'"
What he said!
