[QUOTE="Thingimubob, post: 787445, member: 20956"] Completely agree that at times the referee spends way to much times focusing on the slow mo replays which always do look worse than the full speed ones. Problem with Haskell is, he hasn't got a leg to stand on in this particular incident! If you hit someone high, with a swinging arm, off the ball, you deserve to be carded. It was just a really daft tackle to do, and inferring that he only got yellowed because of the slow mo replay doesn't reflect great on him. He said: [I]"If you notice I pulled out, turned my head well away, there was no intent. I was shocked when I saw how slowly they were replaying it."[/I] Problem is, you don't get away with it just because you say you didn't "intend" to hit the guy late, high and with no arms! His stupidity almost cost his team dearly (in fact I think Murray scored while he was in the bin?), so bit disappointing to see him try to shift accountability away from himself. Here's the full article if anyone's interested: [URL]http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2016/mar/07/james-haskell-big-screen-replays-england-ireland[/URL] [/QUOTE]
