Was the tackle as "reckless" as Radio Humberside suggest?

Is it a 2 matcher?

Momentum! its never pretty seein someone dumped on their head, for me wasnt delibrate but the ref saw a player dumped on his noggin and it was already decided tansey was off, would like to see it on tv again though!

Don't think there was any malice in it. Hopefully sending off sufficient.

i thought the same would like to see it again tho, i thought he half stepped tansey which made the tackle worse than it was. Whne i got back to the car i was supprised to hear them say it was bad as it was. But i must admit i do have beer goggles

ps i wasnt driving

KCFM said the same but still very dangerous - was it momentum caused the 'lift'?

Awful decision, Childs will be embaressed when he sees that again. He literally just fliiped up due to momentum and Tansey was barely touching him by the time he hit the floor, he certainly didn't drive him into the ground. Nice to see the Crusaders player acting like he was dead and then suddenly getting to his feet when the red card was produced.

Pretty much sums it up, poor decision

i expect the rfl to ban tansey for the last 2 games! jokers they are, sending off sufficiant hopefully

thats how i thought i saw too. I actually thought he was just going to give the penalty when i saw the card come out i was shocked!

Very harsh decision. I'd be staggered if Tansey picked up a ban.

To be fair the Crusaders made Childs look a fool all night long, I think he is one of the better refs but tonight he had a very poor game.

Ref was pathetic....no malice went in with his shoulder momentum!!

Tansey ran 20 yards on wet ground for a great cover tackle, one on one, how the ref gave him a red is beyond me, it was a joke no malice whatsoever

sending off woz deserved but no...hang on wtf do i know

The guy landed on his head, maybe worth the red but no malice in it

No malice in it what so ever but it looked as bad as any other tackle of that manner! Was always going to get sent off no matter what referee it was, hopefully red hall go easy on him but 2 games I reckon!

I thought it was a yellow carder, but wasnt suprised it was a red, we was in line with the play, and imo the ref saw him on put on his head, and dont think he could have done any other but card him, hopefully SOS, as they was no malice in it at all

Ref was half decent 1st half but lost his nuts 2nd.. tansey happened to be involved in a slippery challenge and it happened.. let's face it tansey is not in anyway a malice player... but if Bailey can get away with worse every week then surely our boy can once..

The biggest problem you see tackles like that all the time but never see them get sent off like a lot of decisions there's no consistency

Almost word for word what I would have posted. One of those that looked far worse than it was, like the Lauaki one in the Rovers game. Difference was, the referee that day wasn't a buffoon.

He was completely inept for 80 minutes. Crusaders did nothing but interfere at the ptb all match, never stood square at any point, and seemed to strategically target Lauaki's head as the most effective way of dragging him to the ground. Yet the penalty count was nowhere near harsh enough and he didn't feel the need to even have a word with the captain at any point, never mind sin bin anyone.

Agar said in his interview that Tansey was done for something similiar last season. So does not look good.

Can see him getting a 2 match ban(should be SOS in my opinion)

So Craig Hall to FB next week then!!!

Well if Horney is back next week I would consider playing him at f/back....need some-one solid up against Briers kicks

He gave them a final warning on about 65 minutes, they still kept infringing though.

I can understand why the ref sent Tansey off, but hopefully that's as far as it goes. Jordan put his hand up straight away and the Crusaders player accepted his apology.
