That's really nasty. I just don't see why he would have rolled like that if he wasn't trying to hurt McGuire.

Coffee woman thinks mcguire is faking injury and will play Friday, nice to see fellow fans concerned for other players

Just making stuff again ? Your more outraged than the Leeds fans

Not outraged just slightly bemused that some of your fans are saying it was either not that bad or self inflicted by mcguire. McDermott thinks it's a possible break and if it is its a real shame and could potentially end his season if not his career.

Did you think that was an acceptable tackle?

I'm bemused by the binning of McGuire. If you're in that kind of agony you'll do whatever you have to to make it stop.

He's as daft as his mate easthullfc,who thought mcguire was as much to blame as sneyd.

What i so looking on the clip of sky sports he will get a ban and so he should if a rovers player did the same i would want a ban for the player has well

Pretty hard to condemn Sneyd to Hell solely on the basis of one camera angle as to what his actions actually caused. The disciplinary panel seem to make many sitings and cautions against players putting unnecessary pressure and stress on joints every week. So at a guess, this is one of those acid tests for the panel. On one hand they can put out a marker/statement to the competition/players and use this as an example to say this is what could happen when you apply pressure/twists etc, with a maximum grading. Then again, they could just cite/caution against what they do/don't see. In as much, player makes tackle, holds on to ankle - decide momentum plays a part in the outcome and give a lesser grading from max. Deciding player's actions were careless rather than reckless/dangerous ...

deserved sin binning and maybe 1 match ban,you soon forget greens cowardly shoulder to burns face which was far worse

Have we watched the same two incidents ?

If Sneyd plays again this season , then he's a very lucky boy.

Green was suspended for the same number of weeks Burns missed, only fair if Sneyd got the same.

You can't really call any incident cowardly without knowing intent. Don't get me wrong the Green challenge was bad, but it could just as easily have been badly timed rather than malicious - fortunately I think the disciplinary panel saw it that way (rightly or wrongly)

I could scandalise the Sneyd one as being a cowardly dog act. But without knowing his mind you don't know whether he just got it all badly wrong, or that he was trying to break his ankle with a WWE-style ankle lock.

It all depends what grading the disciplinary panel set. Even if he is seen as being reckless rather than cynical he could end up getting a grade that doesn't allow him an EGP and takes into account McGuire's injury - Green was fortunate as his grading was sufficiently low to take the EGP.

Yes attack is the best kind of defence. Having said that I'm not sure what Green's foul on Burns has to do with a discussion about Sneyd's incident. I'm sure every supporter can rake up incidents to add spurious comments to a thread.

as I said he will get a ban, but it was clumsy more than anything else, we will see it done this weekend and nowt will be done,

Yes and my dick is bigger than your dick!

For the most part, you post sensibly, but on this occasion your desire to even up a discussion in a thread about the weekend results in which your player wilfully or unwittingly has likely caused a season ending injury to another player has really got the better of you.

You really are clutching at straws if you have to drag up an incident more than 2 months ago involving one of ours in the context of this weekend's results. It means that in my mind and probably many others on here, you've completely lost the argument and any right to be taken seriously in future.

Alot of fans wont agree with me but having seen the sneyd 'tackle', i really dont think it looks as bad as every one is saying. Yes he may of copped a bad injury, but it was slow down tactics, an i cant imagine he went in with the intention to cause serious damage.

Sorry, don't shoot me fellow rovers fans.

Sneyde will be playing this Friday then ?

Sounds bang on to me . Bad tackle , no malice , should get a ban imho

The frenzy whipped up over this incident (which I see as a clumsy ill advised attempt at slowing down play,nothing more) is ridiculous and it appears to me some b&w supporters have been looking for Rovers fans to comment, just so they can have a pop and acuse us of interfering in their club. Sneyd will get a couple of games, and it appears McGuire isn't too badly injured. If Welham's hit on Friday night had been deemed illegal and he had been binned, would we have been going to the same lengths to justify the hit? I don't know, but I like to think most of the folk on here are fairly pragmatic about these things and probably wouldn't have gone to the other board looking for mischief.

Sneyd as a professional has a duty for a fellow professionals welfare has he ever used a tackle technique like that before? Was he expecting to roll mcguires full body over by pulling his foot? I suspect not there is far to many joints and bones down in his foot/leg that would go before his body rolled over with his foot,
my only thought on it is if he made a decision to slow McGuire down he was always going to get sin binned for it, so why not do something less dangerous why not let go stand up and interfere accidentally on purpose try make it look like he was trying to get square, why hold on to his foot so tightly and throw himself into the roll like he did?

For me it was an attempt to slow the play down without looking like he was trying to slow it down hence the rolling about rather than just laying on but it backfired

il go along with that Frankie,

pickering lol havnt measured my d.ick for years but il take your word for it

Jake the fleg said yours is 2 inches. 3 when Rovers lose.

hes such a grass
