[QUOTE="Substitute, post: 143997"] To put it in simple terms think back to your school days. A trip in the playground was no big deal even if it stopped the kid acheivng something. Teachers might warn the child but the kids would generally sort it out. Upending a kid and dropping on his head would not only have had the children enraged but the teachers as well, regardless of how good the dumper's technique was. And that's not teachers acting out of proportion, they are fully aware dropping someone on their head is more dangerous than tripping someone. Emerick may have shaped up perfectly, he may have had perfect technique but that still does not excuse anyone dropping someone on the head, and does not measure to a trip; which Vickery was, quite rightly, also suspended for. Foul play isn't measured in how many points are cost, I hope it's something like the severity of injuries it could cause. As for Vickery being girly, I think he is a crap rugby player, but he wasn't wussing out, he was beaten so he cheated, which again I do not condone. [/QUOTE]
