Replying To hill16no1man:  "Those who say its always been done so that makes it perfectly ok are completely wrong.
it may not have had a punishement back then but it is at present a black card offence. So no it's not part of the game as it stands.
also think the reasoning behind people thinking it's ok is unbelievable.
because the player is talented it's ok to do this haha to think the same people whinged about cynical fouling being a disgrace.
at this rate people will be all for drug doping sure why wouldn't a team who isn't as good naturally as the other team take up this tactic to win haha"
Not sure if you're including me in that, but just for the record, I never said it was ok, I said it was no different.

Replying To unclegerry:  "To all the managers and pundits complaining about this I would ask this question: What would you rather teams do? Allow dangerous players time and space?"
Id imagine theyd rather the teams just played the game fairly and in the right spirit.
Too much to ask apparently in these enlightened times of ours.

Mayo have been highlighted for targeting players

We then have a Mayo poster obviously aggrieved by the accurate reporting of such tactics being carried out by Mayo players, stupidly trying to justify targeting...

I point out this obvious self serving nonsense.

If that makes me a troll, then fair enough

Glad to be one.
