[QUOTE="shtove, post: 143920"] Debatable whether Emerick intended to slam the head in to the ground, but he deliberately upended Barkley to show who was boss. There was an incident in one of the warm up matches (Italy or Arg?), where a player took out a guy in the air as he was jumping - equally dangerous - and one of the attacking support players ignored the breaking ball to catch the guy before his head hit the ground. Players know how bad that stuff is, and the perp should show some honour and accept the full punishment without fuss. Fans can huff and puff, but **** happens in the heat of the moment and if one of your players goes out through suspension then that's too bad. The irritating thing is when the authorities pretend that nothing happened - that's why the Umaga Moment ****** off so many people. The ref and linesmen didn't see it, fair enough - but everyone else did, and nothing was done. Bad bad example. [/QUOTE]
