Anyone else seen the elbow ?

Disgrace of a challenge.

I agree with you.

Only the player himself knows if there was intent, but it looks like he had a little look first.

Dreadful. No place for this in football.

Reminds me of the challenge from John Blisset of Brentford on John Uzzell of Torquay all those years back... Blisset was charged with GBH.

He defiently glances first while the ball is in the air...

shocking.

Gary Blissett - yes, although at the time his "challenge" was defended by (I think) Graham Kelly. I think he actually got away with it, too. Marcus Gayle was also sent off in that match.

I remember when they played us at Griffin Park the following week, and we exacted some revenge on behalf of our Devon brethren - Jon Brown sending Blissett (?) over the hoardings with one challenge, and Kevin Miller "accidentally" punching Gayle (?) full in the face instead of the ball.

? because they might have been the other way around...

Morgan has always been a hard person with a mean streak, not at all surprising, haven't seen the incident but I am sure the media frenzy will exact some response from the PTB.

John Blissett was definately charged with GBH.

Yes, and I said he (GARY Blissett!) got away with it, which he did!

It's Morgan - having watched him for the past 4 seasons it doesn't take a genius to figure out if he meant it or not.
