everything looks worse in slow motion.....
think about it. that tackel was laid in wat.. half a second.
the player had the ball wen the tackle begun, lost it on the way down and thomas wasnt even looking at the player once the tackle was laid... he was more worried about falling on bassetts back then were the ball was.so u r saying that a player who laid a legitamte tackle and tried to make sure he didnt land on the others back to give a way a free kick (all this in less then half a second btw) should miss weeks because the tackle was so good bassetts arms were pinned behind him so he could not legitimatly dispose of the ball?
also u may not watch the news... but here in vic the highlights off the ugliness at the showdown have been shown on tv... including motlops indiscreation.
