He seemed ok after the game.

What happened to him exactly? Rather difficult to get to games from Exeter, sadly

Re: Paul Johnson : Sun Feb 07, 2010 9:28 pm  

He got caught in a tackle and didn't know where he was, legs all over the place. Was only on pitch about 1 min. Not a dirty tackle, just hard.

Not according to Kear. Also Morrison said the Catalan player led with the elbow.

Kear said on radio there was nothing maliscous about it, just a good hard tackle and he went in awkwardly trying to get a quick play the ball. Part and parcel of the game, these things happen

I will hold my hand up and apologise. I am sure I read on sporting life that it was an illegal tackle.



I may have to take it back again though

Strange, in his interview on radio leeds he said it wasnt bad, must have changed his mind!

Re: Paul Johnson : Sun Feb 07, 2010 10:04 pm  

BBC website still has JK saying it was an 'illegal tackle', but both Sporting Life and Sky websites have amended the quote to 'legal tackle', though they both originally had it wrong.
