Danny murphy's tackle

Loved his yellow cards, but bottled giving out 2nd yellows.

Newcastle?

True and that was a harsh one. Not many in the league though.

Shame that a once decent midfielder has resorted to clogging. Can't have much time left in the game.

Expect to see him managing a pub very soon.

A few of the yellows handed out to Blackburn last night could quite easily have been straight reds in my opinion.

Should have seen red twice! Straight red for the lunge on Bridcutt then a second yellow for cynical trip on Lua Lua, almost identical to the trip Upson got booked for in the first half.

The irony was LITERALLY 5 seconds before it happened I said "Murphy looks wound up" and then BOSH.

I havent seen it again but he definitely appeared that his arms were all over the shop aswell. At first I thought he'd clotheslined him....though I may have completely misseen the incident from up high in the WSU

Haha - similar to my mate & I who were commenting on how he was in the refs ear all game like Kevin Nolan / Michael Brown style. I think i even shouted for him to shut up - then a few seconds later... Bang. Which is why it was so bad - clearly pre-meditated and lost his cool. Twat.

What I find strange is that there's such a vast difference between that type of tackle, the "tackle" by Lua Lua, the trip by Upson and their the keeper timewasting, yet they all receive exactly the same punishment.

Exactly, Murphy could have ended Bridcutt's season - it was a cynical, malicious challenge that could have resulted in serious injury, and yet receives the same punishment as an almost incidental trip. Absolutely shocking.

It was a carbon copy of the tackle on Bridcutt that earned Henry a red away at wolves

Read the thread title and wondered if this was actually about Danny Murphy's "Tackle" .... thankfully not!!
