Look at the way he leads with his arm, pretty disgraceful. If he doesn't get at least a 3 match ban there is no justice in football, especially after the Rooney fiasco. Yellow card - nice work Dermot Gallagher you fucking moron.

I don't see how Gallagher didn't see it!!!
3 match man is nothing for that. He needs to be punished by the club, by the FA, at least a 4 match ban and a large fine and fucken anger management course too!!
Like someone said last night, there is no place for that kind of behaviour in football.
Heard Machester police are also investigating.
I've heard that rumour too. How many times do we see incidents like this in sport go unpunished, if someone did that outside a nightclub they'd be in court.
If someone did that to me in a rugby match I'd be baying for their blood.
Hardly, when that kind of thing happens in rugby the reaction against it is even harsher than what happened here.
And how times have you seen him play? Just because he was like that last night, doesn't mean he's like that all the time.
Yes, obviously, but this isn't the first time he's done something stupid like this.
He's got to be dealt with firmly.
If he wasn't wearing sky blue you wouldn't give a fuck, would you?
As for the challenge, it was pretty reckless, and he should have been red-carded. Seen worse get punished with less, though. Essien anyone?
Favouritism I believe they call it? As in the refs favour the bigger teams and don't care about the smaller teams. (IE, Sunday when Essein grabbed Corradi's hair. Just before Corradi got sent off)
A few times... Like LeedsLad said, it's not the first time he misbehaved.
Dunno who you play for bro, but when I played in college, i got stamped on, bitten, kicked in the nuts, punched in the ribs, punched in the face, knocked out a couple of times. I would get them back obviously apart from when i was knocked out.
I don't see it as much on TV these days although it happens ocassionaly.
Also, Fiend, my point was that if I was playing rugby I would half be expecting that kind of a challenge...
Oh shut up, I couldn't care what shirt he's wearing, it was a sickening challenge on an honest professional. Maybe it's because it's on someone respectable like Mendes. I doubt I'd care as much if it was on Savage or Drogba.
And I've always said Keane was out of line, but I have said that Haaland was a silly cunt who was asking for it, because of what he'd done to Keano in their previous encounter. There was history there, whereas this one just looks like Thatcher's gone in to do him over, totally unprovoked.
No. Keane was fucked off because Haaland accused him of feigning injury - Haaland told the referee Keane was faking it when actually he was really injured. Everyone knows Keane's not the type to feign injury, and I'm sure he was fucked off with some dickhead like Haaland accusing him of doing it. Keane was still out of order, but Haaland was a silly bastard in the first instance.
I believe the FA should always be able to deal with an incident after the match even if the ref has "dealt" with it in the first place because obviously the cameras pick up a lot more than the referee. There is no way in this world that the ref saw the elbow fly into Mendes face, he can't have done. And like you mentioned there was no way the ref saw the Figo incident correctly. They need to change the rule completely and not just for this 1 incident.
The stamp on Giggs aswell was "dealt" with if I'm correct?? Might be wrong on that but that incident should have being dealt with by the FA after the game because that could have had a lot worse consequences than it did and was just as bad as this challenge on Mendes, the only difference is Giggs was lucky to get away with it relatively unhurt.
Firstly, I'd hardly call Mendes "honest", but whatever.
If he was wearing, say, a Sunderland shirt, you couldn't give a toss. And you know it.
Thatcher is a dirty player, lets not forget he started at Wimbledon. But there are lots of dirty players in the Premiership that you couldn't give a toss about, and there have been far worse tackles in the Premiership that have received far less severe sentences.
What history?
You mean where Keane tried to break Haaland's leg at Elland Road in 1997, and Haaland laughed at the stupid cunt afterwards?
Why should Haaland be sorry that Keane did to himself what he intended to do to Haaland? If I'd just been on the end of Keane's attempted GBH I'd have booted the cunt when he was on the ground, not just laughed at him.
I don't recall you demanding police intervention for Keane, on either occasion. In fact you believed Keane was being "victimised" after admitting in a book that he deliberately ended another player's career...
It's amazing what a bit of partizanship does to you. If Vieira had behaved half as badly as Keane you'd have been coming in your pants demanding that he was jailed and banned for life, and you know it.
Hypocrite, just like the other 75,000 at the Theatre of Dreams
I agree, but it happens.
Oh and I played at SESSA level, got a gold medal too.
I might be playing again from this year, coz I'm going back to uni, looking forward to it!!
I disagree that there have been many worse challenges. Thatcher could have done Mendes irreversible nervous system damage. That's just so far beyond any broken bone it's untrue. Thatcher led with his arm into Mendes' neck - inexcusible.
I'm not going to get into this, because it's always you accusing me of letting threads disintegrate into petty tit for tat, when in fact in this instance (like so many times before) it is you who has sought to side-track the thread.
I've made my position clear on the Keane incident. He was out of order but Haaland was a stupid cunt, and provoked the situation. Anyone can have their own personal interpretation of events and that's fair enough. I'm not arsed debating it.
Haaland was always mouthing off to Keane being a cunt, but the feigning injury accusation was obviously the thing that stuckwith Keane the most. I don't know if Haaland said anything in that match, but Keane certainly had the accusations fresh in his mind. It wasn't just a random attack between 2 players with no history. Fuck this, I said I can't be arsed and I'm not.
Thatcher didn't lead into his neck at all, its quite clearly his face he connects with. A disgusting challenge nonetheless, but nowhere near as bad as Keane's. Using your own logic Thatcher should only get a two-match ban.
The worst tackle I've even seen was from Kevin Gray, then of Huddersfield, on Gordon Watson. Gray didn't even get a fine; indeed, his club felt he was justified in his two-footed lunge which broke another player's leg in three places.
You cannot sit there and say that Haaland deserved to have his leg broken, and that Keane was acting out of anger a mere four years after the supposed incident (which was Keane's fault then), and then start calling for Thatcher's head to roll.
You only give a toss because he's a blue. In exactly the same way that you think Haaland deserved it because he played for Leeds and City. Typical Man Utd fan, can justify any violence their own team of thugs do and then piss their pants when any other team does it.
How the hell was that justified? He broke the guy's leg for christs sake. (And ended his career, IIRC)
