mike-zim Posted December 7, 2005 Posted December 7, 2005 It was disgusting. He should have been sent off and banned. what happened? nothing! He is a chelsea player after all. untouchable. it is rediculous.
Fields Posted December 7, 2005 Posted December 7, 2005 Unbelievable. It was a disgraceful tackle, could have broken his leg
Ramar Posted December 7, 2005 Posted December 7, 2005 I agree with both comments. I think the matter is the ref saw it late, and didn't give it, then got a bit card happy to try and make up for it. Honestly if the Fifa doesn't look at this, then they're going down the piss pan. Easily a leg breaker, thank god that a serious injury didn't occur from it.
elniro Posted December 7, 2005 Posted December 7, 2005 He's done it before, cant remember who, but he only got a yellow card, when clearly it was a straight red, everyone said it was. But he is a chelsea player after all, tossers EDIT: "Essien was involved in a similar incident earlier this season when he was booked for a challenge on Bolton defender Tal Ben Haim. Referee Rob Styles wanted to convert the yellow card into red after reviewing footage but Fifa stepped in to prevent him doing so. " Hmm looked like Fifa got some money for that one, they're just useless
Bren Posted December 7, 2005 Posted December 7, 2005 im not into footy much, but this tackle sounds intresting, any video footage of it?

Bren Posted December 7, 2005 Posted December 7, 2005 lol quite a harsh tackle, funny the way the liverpool guy got back at em though.
mike-zim Posted December 7, 2005 Author Posted December 7, 2005 But that was accidental. the role of the ball forced his foot over.
mike-zim Posted December 15, 2005 Author Posted December 15, 2005 he has been given a 2 match ban. that is it. well he is a chelsea player so i suppose a financial punishment would have been pointless.
elniro Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 ooooo weeeee a 2 match ban, how harsh... not! any other team i bet it would have been at leasst 3, hmmm looks like money has changed hands again lol
