What incident are you talking about??? Surely not the high tackle free paid to Treeby against Wright which was purely accidental and nothing like a king hit - a swinging arm is not a king hit!!! It was a mistimed tackle attempt at best!!!
Come back and clarify your comment when you view the replay and point out the actual incident and if it is the one I am referring to, then be prepared to apologise big time because I saw nothing today that resembled anything like a vicious arm swing let alone a king hit your trying to infer. It is very poor form by you to even allege it on this forum let alone mention the cowardly attack that Matt Wright suffered late last year as a comparison to anything that occured in today's game!!!
It was a dangerous act. Probably more reckless than vicous. As I said, he swung his arm wildly and luckily he didn't connect properly. No room for that in the game.
As I said - go watch the replay. He made minimal conact and with the back of his arm in the end. If it was that bad as you suggest then how was it that there was only a free paid and no remonstration by Treeby or any other Eagles player. Any comparison with that "fre kick incident " and the one discussed on this topic and what happened to Wright off field when he got hit from behind with a bottle is laughable!!!
Your clutching at straws and it is rather pathetic. Normally your posts are of a good standard but you have lowered your standard with this one!
