Faraimo : Sat Mar 31, 2018 7:30 am  

Watched the game back this morning and that shoulder charge was shocking . A clear attempt to injure Atkin.
Red card was deserved , I think he will get a two match ban . I don’t think their coaches comments after the game will go in Faraimos favour either.

I have looked at it twice and I thought it should have been sin bin at most but that aside we need better players fast

tbf he had his arms wrapped round, if it wasn't on telly nothing would have been done, it was just a hard shot. if it had been a head shot how come he didn't go off for a concussion test? he should have by the law, anyway good to have the derby back, good crowd and good atmosphere,

It looked like a shoulder to the face to me but to say hes gone in to hurt him i very much doubt, the games played that fast that i doubt players have the time to think and ponder how there going to tackle someone, its more of an instinct.
Red card seems harsh but it wont be the last challenge we see like that so lets see how consistent they are

A yellow card , and on report . Atkin didn’t go off for the head shot . If he got a red , surely Atkin should have gone off for a head assessment.

Why? So a player that commits foul play and receives a red card warrants the player the offence was against to have a head assesment ?

It was a bad one , the intent was there .

Wasn't a shoulder charge (See HKRofficial's top derby moments to see one by Murrell), didn't hit the head. To accuse a pro of deliberately trying to injure another is stupid. I think he will get a two match ban. Our coaches commented on how the VR influenced decisions to the detriment of the specatacle.

Well, we agreed on one thing I guess.

Have a nice weekend.

The only person who knows what intent there was, is Faraimo. Everyone else is speculating, with the benefit of TV replays.
IMO he doesn't intend to attack the head, or to injure, he merely puts a 'big hit' on.

Re: Faraimo : Sat Mar 31, 2018 1:36 pm  

Certainly worthy of a yellow, it was clumsy and poor technique, not at all malicious. Red was a bit harsh imo but if you put in those sorts of hits you’ve risk that especially on TV. Given he was off for 70 mins, probably get 1 game imo rather than 2. Not too much worry, we’ve got the cover and depth.
