Default Should Ben Thatcher be banned for a season ?

Hi all

I was wondering what was your opinion of Ben Thatchers tackle on Pedro Mendes ?

I personally think he should be banned for the rest of the season. It was intentional and unprovoked. He only received a yellow card

Mendes was unconcious before he hit the floor and suffered a fit at the side of the pitch the elbow slammed into him that hard.

Players have a code of conduct and to go out to delibritly hurt or maime another player has no part in our game.

Mendes is currently under going tests to see if there is any long term damage.

EDIT : if anyone can find a link to the tackle could you post it please.

I never seen it but if the player sufferd a fit after it it must have been a disgraceful challenge

But ye i think he should be banned its the same as when roy kean was a player i remember he tried to punch alan shearer infront of the referee some players get away with blue murder. !

The guy should have been kicked off the pitch there and then. He knew what he was doing when he elbowed Mendes, and even when another player walked over to the injured player, Thatcher was stood there with his face contorted, and muttering.

As for the ref.......I thought I was blind but he must have shiate in his eyes.

Any wrestler would have been proud of that forearm smash.

How the ref deemed it as only a bookable offence is beyond me. Ben Thatcher smashed Pedro Mendes' face in. If he did that in a public place, he'd have handcuffs straight round his wrists, a football field doesn't give you licence to assault another player. Hope he gets a long ban.
