the shire Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Well,in the context of my suggestion that the camera may have given us a false perspective on the tackle,I think that whether or not,he was hurt,does matter.the boy was up right away and think he played the full game the tackle didn't look as bad in the game than it does looking at the photo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyboy Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 the boy was up right away and think he played the full game the tackle didn't look as bad in the game than it does looking at the photo And that's more or less my point,bud as I think that the 'horror tackle' description is,like the actual tackle,wide of the mark. I'm sure that most of us have noticed the so-called perspective compression (actually an optical illusion) that seems to bring distant objects closer together when we use a telephoto lens,and I believe this effect is evident in this photie,and that the big guy's foot isn't anywhere near as close to his opponent's leg as it appears to be. In fact I'm sure that a view from behind Joe's left shoulder,or from the ref's angle would confirm that he had played the ball (look at the lines of sight of the three main guys in the pic) away and had,at worst,caught the Forth player a glancing blow.

stewsy14 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 No he hit him exactly where u see it, our player was very fortunate not to be injured! No optical illusion involved at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to hear that the Forth boy is ok,though to say that he was 'very fortunate' might just be understating it because,if we take the photy at face value,then you've got to think that some ligament damage was the least he could have expected.

passbackdave Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Cracking view for the ref embarrassing if he got it wrong tbh. Always rated but abou don't think he's a dirty player but the pic doesn't look good for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

underboyleheating Posted April 6, 2015 Author Share Posted April 6, 2015 Was the Forth player hurt? Or is this an example of the camera not quite telling the truth ? On this occasion the camera was telling the truth and the Forth boy was lucky to escape without a serious career threatening injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
