[QUOTE="TRF_Olyy, post: 959944, member: 34990"] Clotheslining people off the ball? There is no justification for this - less so than Reece Hodge's missed red card (at least he was trying to tackle the ball carrier and ballsed it). Read grabbed the neck of a defender, it's not like the Springbok player ran into Read, who stood his ground or anything like that. That's his point. There are no mitigating factors (player dipping into the tackle etc.). It's about as blatant an off the ball high shot as you're ever likely to see in the game, regardless of if he was a foot offside (you can't start whacking everyone who strays offside). [/QUOTE]
