It looks bad although it is from some distance away but even from there there's clearly no sugar-coating a dirty, horrible, cynical elbow. Andrew deserves it but I think Thatcher's was worse. He was lucky not to face a GBH charge.
Seem to recall him colliding with the post in his last game and being seriously hurt . Gave 100% while he was with us , wish him well .

Also today, 3 Millwall fans were jailed for fighting at Peterborough. No-one seriously hurt according to police reports but still the fans got between 8 and 15 months and 7 fans got banning orders of between 3 and 8 years. Calvin steams into an unsuspecting victim on a football with his elbow and we're discussing whether the police should get involved.
I'm not saying any of these fans didn't deserve it but I have to question the difference in police and court attitudes.

Possibly provoked by racial abuse? Who knows, and you couldn't possibly condone such an action, but either way, the NSC lynch mob will 'hang him high.'
That is close to my first thought.
Had he done it 8 yards to his right, he'd never again be allowed at a football match.

I don't get your point - are you suggesting we should feel there are appropriate extenuating circumstances for flying at somebody elbow first?

It was 7 years ago. 21st April 2009, the Great Escape with Russell Slade at Bristol. We survived only for Slade to be sacked in October with Gus arriving in November.

I remember Thatcher's well and recall asking someone why they thought a forearm smash constituted a tackle. This one looks worse to me because he went in for a second go.

Here's the end of match celebrations.

Was a huge game at the time.

Yep - palace being stupid enough to loan him to us is one of the major reasons we are where we are today & why our attendances are so high. Never been a player that one club has done business with the other to come close to the significance of this one. I know a lot of CP2010FC fans are still sick just thinking about it today. Love having this bragging right forever me
Glenn Murray and Dobbie worked out fine for us.
What a ****. He should go down for that.

Still remains one of my favourite away games.
I'm surprised more footballers don't get charged with GBH for on-field assaults. Didn't Duncan Ferguson get jailed for elbowing someone? And there was a Brentford player who smashed John Uzzell's eye socket - was it Blissett? I think he got found not guilty. I think there have been a few others too but I'm not quite sure why some elbows are worthy of criminal charges and some aren't

Hmmm.
Of all the ridiculous posts I've read on NSC, this one tops the lot.

Haha took the bait with a lack of football knowledge perfectly - we didn't do business with you for Murray
too easy 
And Dobbie was absolutely shocking - so glad we got rid of him to you the amount he was on. And any other loanee would've managed a couple of goals & assists in a successful ish team.
Ps - Ashley Barnes
But
I know you like to think you are playing some game with us, but you are really not. You are either immature, sad or a bit of both. Anyway.......
As for Dobbie, when our team were falling apart he was the one who helped drag us over the line into the play offs. I'm sure you remember what happened then!
This year is looking a bit shite again, but get rid of soppy bollocks and we will be fine again. I'm sort of hoping you lot are promoted, just so I can see how easy you find it.

You're on an Albion message board at 2 am yet you're calling me sad Ps - don't rewrite history with Dobbie - he was shite, you limped into the playoffs & then got very very lucky. I know today hurts and you and the crew need to try to face it out on here as you've given it out so much for years
The play-offs and that year don't hurt anymore - it's gone, history, you had one lucky night, we've dealt with it. Seems the only thing you've got...?Another bite - too easy
PPS - This is a thread about a Rochdale player. Please refrain from posting again as the infractions are adding up with every post & you'll join the rest of the crew like Doogle on the sidelines with a ban if you continue
