    "The International Football Association Board, holding its 112th meeting in Paris, decided upon the following addition to Law XII :

    A tackle from behind which endangers the safety of an opponent must be sanctioned as serious foul play" - FIFA.com

     

    So you've just confirmed that your original statement which was "Law XII says that only a tackle from behind which endangers the player is a foul ", is complete nonsense.

    Thanks for clarifying.

    Fairly sure you've just made all of that up

    Law 12 (excerpt)

    • jumps at

    • kicks or attempts to kick

    • pushes

    • strikes or attempts to strike (including head-butt)

    • tackles or challenges

    • trips or attempts to trip If an offence involves contact it is penalised by a direct free kick or penalty kick

    Graham Harvey.
    Always overshadowed by the Coyne/Wright partnership. Probably the best I've ever seen in a Dundee shirt beside Caballero at using his body to shield and hold up the ball. Wasn't a big lump though, he could play a bit too. I think he'd have scored far more goals if he wasn't the third option in a two man forward line.

    IIRC he was a fairly consistent striker before we signed Coyne.

    Harvey was never prolific, too slow, but I think he did play his best football for us during the Coyne/Wright era, when he got his chances.

  4. I really don't get this. He owes us nothing, if he come here and things didn't go for him, the club would be doing whatever they could to get him off the wage bill; think of the players we sacked when we went into administration. There's maybe a few players who have some sort of sentiment for various reasons but footballers are just doing a job like any other.
    Agree. Utter nonsense. A player's career can be over with one mis-timed tackle. You have to take the cash when its offered.
  5. Been a few years since I've been to Berlin. Anyone any recommendations of pubs for watching Champions League footie? Anywhere between K'damm and Alexanderplatz should be easy enough for me to have a wander. Cheers

    Only complete idiots rate Moussa. In reality he is absolutely awful, I dont even think he is Championship standard.

    I must be an idiot. Think he does a valuable job for the team. Yes I would like him to score more goals. Look at Giroud for France, played every match , 15 attempts. 1 on target , no goals. But was critical to teams success.

    Totally agree with the point you are trying to make, but Giroud is surrounded by fantastic players. Moussa isn't. Not sure we can afford that kind of player. Don't get me wrong, I think he gets some unfair stick.
