Message: [QUOTE="Coxy, post: 2103086, member: 1764"] Exactly. It reminds me so much of the Gorden Tallis forearm on Steve Simpson in 2001 I think it was. The front page of the Courier Mail had this really nasty looking shot of Tallis looking into Simpson's eyes, forearm braced, fist clenched, looking like he's about to smear Simpson's nose across his face. The video footage showed the whole thing happen in a split second, and it was more Tallis falling and preparing to brace himself, in the process hitting Simpson's cheek and causing a cut. Simpson came out saying how he didn't sleep after the game, his face was too painful and yadda yadda. Bam, Tallis got charged and got 2 weeks. There was sweet FA in it. In this case it's similar, Bird is just putting his hand up to push Delaney off him, as all tackled players do, and his fingers have got into his eye region. It ain't a gouge! No complaint. End of story. [/QUOTE]
