for this tackle:



Yapi-Yapo suffered a:

- serious cartilage damage
- meniscus tear
- a torn kneecap
- deep bruising in his thigh.

That's a shocking tackle - practically GBH

 

[Buddha]

Brutal

 

[SummerOnions]

Horrendous. 100% deliberate as well

 

[StevieM]

I think in cases like this - the player committing the foul should be banned for the same length of time it takes the injured player to recover and play again.

Genuine 50/50 tackles are one thing - but this is clearly not.

 

[Dirty Sanchez]

He will get a shorter ban than Suarez did.

 

[white-sox]

He will get a shorter ban than Suarez did.

Was going to say exactly the same thing. Disgusting tackle and in my mind just as bad if not worse than what Suarez did.

 

[Wizardry]

How are they even comparable? One incident was disgraceful and deplorable - the other may have ended a career and ruined a person's life.

 

[Silver Sean]

Cowardly cunt.

 

[nealmac]

Holy mother of fuck, that's horrific.

 

[Dirty Sanchez]

How are they even comparable? One incident was disgraceful and deplorable - the other may have ended a career and ruined a person's life.

Exactly. They are not even remotely comparable
But I bet this Sandro dude gets a 3 game ban and a nominal fine for what is essentially grievous bodily harm with intent.
Whole system is fucking crazy.

 

[Markeh]

fucking hell that last replay!!

the sort of tackle everyone hopes never happens to them

 

[Mors]

He will get a shorter ban than Suarez did.

He'll get a shorter ban than suarez did for biting or racist language.
