RE: Kev, my progresively less rotund mate,

 

What's the point of discussing something that didn't happen.

 

Agreed

At the time - when there was no real suggestion of a serious injury - I was absolutely disgusted when D'Urso didn't send him off. Should have been an automatic red card.

 

Well other people seemed to think it was worth dicussing

if you don't then errrr don't.</p>

Had D'Urso done his job and sent him off, then whatever the outcome, Morgan's challenge would have been held up to scrutiny - possibly a longer ban than 3 matches, irrespective of the extent of injury to Hume.</p>

The injury has made it an even more emotive issue. Had he been injured in an honest 50/50 aerial challenge, it would still ahve been tragic, but that is genuinely one of the hazards of playing competitive contact sport. Having a fellow professional deliberately (in my view) thrust an elbow into your head is not one of the day to day hazards that any sportsman should face. It is Morgan's action that has moved the incident away from normal sporting activity in my opinion.</p>

The problem will be actually proving what Morgan's intentions were. It can be proved WHAT he did, and what the outcome was. What punishment that should merit is down to the footballing authorities.

F.cking Smales, quoting the Jenner years later.

You'll be discussing the pros & cons of Donoghue v Stevenson along with whether you think the literal or golden rule should be applied to this case.

Or summat.
