Demitri_C Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Sorry but is Taylor's tackle was than what mings did to ibra? That was for me disgraceful. I think it was a bad tackle but also unlucky on Coleman's part for the way he went in. red card sent off but for me that's justified punishment. A mings like incident for me is 10x worse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stupid thing is Taylor was probably favourite for the ball had he actually wanted it. In those few seconds he had a choice and he chose Coleman's leg.

Exactly. Some people reacting like he has died. A sportsman has got a bad injury. Thats it. There really is nothing to see here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommo_b Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I've watched it a few times back, seems like an honest mistake, can see he is clearly trying to lunge for the ball, possibly shouldn't have been lunging, but who hasn't played a game of football and not at one point lunged to try win the ball. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post brommy Posted March 26, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 26, 2017 It seems our culture has been reduced to defining everything as the best or worse thing ever. The Tony Xia (certain tweets), Bacuna (chest bump) and now Taylor threads, support my thought that some people are way too sensitive or just revel in being shocked or offended. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's so much noise that if something isn't best or worst then it doesn't cut through. If it's just ordinary then it doesn't get likes, or retweets. And if your content is ordinary then you're ordinary. And who wants to be ordinary on social media where we can be anything we want? 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Apparently FIFA are considering giving him an additional 4 game ban on top of the normal 1 match ban. He is a Villa player after all, so. Standard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post RimmyJimmer Posted March 26, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 26, 2017 I had heard all the headlines and social media reaction to this incident without seeing the tackle until 30 minutes ago. To be honest, I was expecting something a lot worse than what I saw. Mistimed and reckless but for me no intent. Being described as one of the worst tackles you will ever see is way wide of the mark. Like a few posters have alluded to, you will see worse tackles every week up and down the country without anyone breaking their leg. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's irrelevant and pointless. If you remember a tackle for being bad, it's because of how bad it was, not because it's an acceptable, everyday part of the game. I just don't get the logic Person 1: "that tackle on Coleman was horrendous the other night wasn't it?" Person 2: "yeah it was, but do you remember that tackle for November 2011? Similar challenge but player tackled was okay, played on" Person 1: "fantastic, I'll let Coleman know to get on the training field tomorrow and for UEFA to forget the ban in that case" 100% agree, When questioning intent I'm not sure anybody has said that he was intentionally trying to break the other guys leg but you have to question whether he went for the ball or not, as he raised his leg as he was making the tackle and he ended up way over the top of the ball. Could be a career ender for Coleman! Leg is never as strong after a double break. Same happened to mate of mine and to Alex Cropley. I know that was a long time ago and obviously they can do things now they couldn't then. Do I feel sorry for Taylor. no I don't!

My sympathy rests entirely with Coleman This, I think my main issue was with people trying to defend Taylor saying how gutted he looked and he was nearly in tears and stuff. Who gives a shit? I've been badly injured and done my acl and cartilage. For the next 2 years it was horrible... having to watch people and mates play and not being able to join in anything. I'm not going to lie, I was bought to tears and was it not for a few really good mates and support of my family I would've locked myself away. Now, I'm not saying Coleman is like that, but he clearly loves the game. Imagine not being able to do the things you love wether it be injury or something else. A lot of you might think this is a bit stupid or something, but I know my dad suffered knee injuries during his career and he went through really rough patches. It can happen to anyone. It's a long, hard process recovering from something like this. It just depends how much compassion you want to show or if you want to be the tough man. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I hope FiFA have the sense to base their opinion and punishment on the tackle......not the result of the tackle. i did not see the tackle myself so I can't comment on it, but it is so easy to react to the result of the tackle as opposed to the instigation of it.

dont_do_it_doug. Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 It's almost a carbon copy of the tackle on Hourihane that the Wednesday lad got sent for a couple of weeks back. I do feel sorry for Taylor, the mental abuse he has received for making a mistake in a football match is awful. There was an article in The Mirror today stating that some Irish boxer has offered to bang him out. **** sake. I feel sorry for Coleman too, but this isn't the Coleman thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really think people are seriously overreacting to this and its pretty ridiculous. It could be the end of his career mate. How much of a sociopath do you have to be to not sympathise with him? Jesus. There was me saying I wasn't going to comment on Coleman then I read that. I hope anyone else reading it realises not all Villa fans feel that way. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
