I’d hate to be a defender if so Similar one by cresswell in the west ham game last night. Initially given a red, vsr checked it and gave a yellow. I dont think mee's tackle was a red, but definitely a yellow and a fk. Cannot believe the ref or var did nothing. Incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwivillan Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 The problem with a scissor tackle especially when Mee was lunging is the attacker has minimal to no chance to protect himself or brace for it and if goes wrong can go very wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d sooner hand out a red for Cresswell than I would for Mee. Cresswells was studs up and feet off the ground, seems a lot more reckless than Mee’s which seems more forceful than uncontrolled. Such a grey area for referees as VAR can only intervene if it’s to give a red card and if the ref is blowing for a foul there it’s usually a red card or not a foul at all. Rarely if ever see yellows given there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penguin Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Arguably having his best game for us as well, fingers crossed its not that bad. Should be some retrospective action on Mee what a scumbag he is, has previous for it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 well at least we've got a month to find a replacement. Sadly, it means we might not be binning off Kodja yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 The only saving grace is that at least it didn't happen on January 31st . At least now we have time to try and find replacements. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this might change the focus/ scale of the investment we will make. I'm far more concerned about Heaton. I don't think replacing Wesley will be that difficult, replacing Heaton will be very difficult and we have shite options in reserve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needless to say this is the biggest January window since the Darren Bent one. We have to get this right.

Dr_Pangloss Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Have to say, if the injury is that bad he didn't appear to be in excruciating pain, he's a tough bastard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm absolutely certain we were, hence why I put replacements rather than replacement. If we were in for 1 striker and 1 wide player before we are likely after 2+1 or 1+2 now. Heaton will absolutely be a huge miss, hopefully Nyland can remain the much improved version of himself we've seen his last few outings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly what I was thinking during the game. Honestly I didn't start worrying til I saw the pictures of the tackle. He look so calm. When I tore my ligaments I would have cut my leg off if given the choice. It hurt that bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'd had my leg forced apart sideways at the knee by some neanderthal clearing in the woods, I think I'd be screaming in agony. Bouma style. Hats off to him if he was able to keep his head in that situation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first I thought he was doing his usual and was perhaps looking to waste some time. I got a bit more worried at the stretcher but again he can be pretty dramatic at the best of times so even then thought he had the sort of knock that has finished him for the game but he'll be back soon. Then I saw the pictures... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted January 2, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted January 2, 2020 Silver lining is hopefully this forces the club to move for another striker in the January window. I'd like to think they would have been anyway, but this should make it a priority Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 It's a shame this has happened. But I don't think we are going to struggle to replace what he's given us over these 21 games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
